ILB Draft Questions...

Given the needs and the value of the first round ILB's I don't see us drafting one at least not in the first round. Vilma and Hawthorne will be our MIKEs as it is basically the same in the 3-4 and 4-3. Their job will be to defend the run and drop in coverage on passing plays. Lofton and Chamberlain will be our TED's or SILB as their skill sets fit it best, their job is to defend the run and keep the MIKE clean on passing plays. Then you can rotate in Martez Wilson as a pass rush specialist at 3 of the 4 LB spots.

What we need is one JOKER or WILL to compete with Galette (more than likely Victor Butler in free agency) and 2 SAMs. Dion Jordan and Jarvis Jones would be the best fits as they can both defend the run, rush and drop into coverage.


Chamberlain was brought in to compete@ the will in a 4-3

The wilb in the 3-4 under is the same as a will in a 4-3...its y SP talked about Vilma being able to play tht position cuz hes protected by the two tackles.

So I dont see y u have chamberlain as a SILB
