Our biggest need

I think most fans are too worried about “need”. The team has shown year after year that they fill those in free agency if at all possible. On top that, there are still plenty of LBs that remain unsigned.

What I don’t understand is how LB can be considered more of a need than EDGE. We have Demario and Cam as 1/2 of our starting LB and DE duos, since our base (nickel) defense consist of 2 LBs and 2 DEs.

At LB2, we have Anzalone with Alonso as insurance. Both Anzalone and Alonso have regularly dealt with injuries.

At RE, we have Davenport, with Hendrickson backing him up. Both of these players have missed time every year of their career with injuries.

Would you rather line up with Noah Spence starting at RE or Kaden Elliss at LB? Also, with Malcolm Jenkins and CJ Gardner-Johnson, both have the ability to play that moneybacker position, if they aren’t comfortable starting Elliss or whoever at LB.
