That would leave us a little light at OLB and to me Xxavier was drafted to replace Greenwood at some point...just pointing out that there is an outside possibility.

Well I will also state the sacrilegious statement that Ryans is still your best OLB, and a solid MIKE is easier to find than a super star WILL.

Next season, James Laurinaitis, ILB, Ohio State, Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC, Darry Beckwith, ILB, LSU, Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida, Scott McKillop, ILB, Pittsburgh, Marcus Freeman, OLB, Ohio State (can play both inside and outside) are all 1st day picks that play the MIKE.

IMO a LB core that includes Maualuga at MLB and Ryans at WILL is a huge upgrade over Greenwood at WILL and Ryans at MLB.

And if I have the chance to draft a LB like Maualuga I take the chance, sorry if Adibi becomes a special teamer, oh well, it's called depth.

But that is a different discussion.
