Outside LB

i don't think we go after june cause of the whole nothing to trade thing.

keith adams, brandon short, holdman, promote from within, or draft a guy. that's about it on options.

The right price is a first round pick. He's an RFA.

Doesn't seem he's getting many offers. Deals can be worked at less than "standard price". No one wants a disgruntled player. I don't know what the story behind him is, but obviously he has not yet signed his tender.

If I were GW I would bring back Holdman hoping last year was just a fluke, and also hope that Clemons can earn more playing time. Some sort of platoon at the weak side wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

The draft is pretty deep at LB, but can a rookie LB come in and earn a starting job in this defense? Right off the bat I doubt it.

At least we have some options because of Marshall's versatility.

Maybe we should give Warrick another chance.

Im sorry, but I will never forget the scout.com article that was entitled (I believe) "What is more effective, Warrick Holdman or a Trash Can?" It was pretty hysterical and I think put me off of him for good!

Haha, here is the article fellas...man this cracks me up...

Even if we took a LB in the 2nd round, he wouldn't play right away. But you could get away with Clemons or Jayshon Sykes or McCune for a month, and then go to the Rookie. We'd likely be looking at 4-1 at that point regardless of who is playing the 3rd LB spot.

Holdman really hasn't ever been much. He could be OK in GW's system, but you can draft a guy cheaper.

Cato June is still out there. He had 5 picks with 2 TDs last season as well as 100+ tackles. He used to be a safety, so he's fast and has great ball reaction skills. Given, that makes him a bit small for a LB, but he had great numbers last year.

At the right price, I think he'd make a great prospect and could even prove to be a steal.





...or, we could just bring back Lavar.

June is good in that system, not sure how well he would do w/ Williams. Plus, he may want some cash based on his stats from last year. Cash we dont really have or want to spend.

Not Holdman again! I think Portis would make more tackles playing OLB thatn him. I would rather put Clemons inexperience on the field rather than Holdmans lack of skills on the field. He is old, slow and just not effective anymore. Clemons gives us the quickness, plus the ability to rush the passer.

maybe adam archuleta is our ROLB and we'll have pearson play SS ;)

I agree. It's not likely any rookie LB will start on D to start the season or anytime during the season. It is however, probable we will kook at what we have early to see if there's a fit at OLB if not I'm sure we'll bring in some look see's. I'm hoping we can promote from within if it's there. We drafted three LB's last year, none of them saw the field. It's still very early yet so no need to panic on the OLB.
