Gold missed 11 games last year and there wasn't much drop off in play from his WLB. LB in the 1st is almost a luxury pick for them, it's not a huge need. The starting group is adequate, but it's not so bad that they take a LB in the 1st. They need a DT that can get to the QB and they need a big WR who can fill McCaffrey's role.
They're replacing Berry with a D-End who had 8.5 sacks as a backup last year in Heyward, plus they're got two rookies coming off of IR. One is Clint Mitchell who most draft pubs put as a first day pick this year if he'd stayed in school. Some like PFW even said he could have possibly gone in the 1st this year if he'd stayed.
