Scouts Inc. LB rankings

We WERE pretty horrible at LB last year. Bottom 1/4 and thats being nice.

However, the signing of Fletcher changes a LOT at LB, and the natural maturity of a certain second round draft pick will help us even further.

I'd predict top half this year. The LBs went from arguably our biggest weakness to the strength of the defense.

Our entire defense was a weakness last year.

I think this is a pretty fair assessment. With Fletcher and Washington we have two high quality LBs, the only unknown is Rocky. If he plays well our starting LB corps could be very good.

Yeah, and based on their assessments, Washington would still qualify as "high quality." However, I'm nervous about him coming back from this hip surgery and how it what effect it will have on his play. I hope none, but I'm not too confident in that.

I think 19th bassed on last years LB production, not really some great backups and the signing of Fletcher it's pretty accurate.

Dallas was #5 which I also thin kis fairly accurate we have very good starters in Ware, James, Ayondole and first round pick Spencer and amazing backups in 2nd rounder Burnett, 1st rounder B.Carpenter and Greg Ellis (I'm putting ellis as a Backup because I don't think he's 100% yet).
