Who are the best 3-4 MLB available in the draft?
If Willis retires, I think MLB becomes our biggest need. For as good as Borland is, I DO NOT want him to be our starter. Sure he's a tackling machine, but once he get out in space he is a liability.

Benardrick McKinney seems pretty solid. 2nd rounder it sounds like http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/benardrick-mckinney?id=2552490

As I've said before, every Saturday morning until Saturday evening, I hear no other defender names aside Bud Dupree and Benardrick McKinney!!!
I'm all for McKinney NOW!!

I just mentioned McKinney earlier, too. Big linebacker and a very violent tackler. Versatile, too, and could rush from the edge

Did I miss something? What's wrong with Bowman/Borland? We need a backup, sure, but not a replacement. Those guys are on the roster already.

Why would we draft a MLB in the high rounds? We have Borland and Wilhoite to go along with Bowman. So I don't get it.

Eric Kendricks IMO is the best 3-4 ILB in the draft

It would be a wise move to draft an ILB because we have no idea how Bowman is going to be..
and as good as Borland was last year, it's only a matter of time before opposing teams figure out his weaknesses and his limited athletecism..

Bowman, Borland and Wilhoite as the top 3 with Moody, Skov and a rookie to battle it out for key backup roles. Done deal.

RUMOR is Bowman is going to be cut as well. So, might as well keep this thread going.

Or we can keep Wilhoite...grab some depth later in the draft.
