I'm trying to figure out who Baalke might target as an Aldon replacement. There are a number of really talented DEs who might be converted to OLB. Any thoughts of adding such a category? 3/4 OLBs?
I'm not impressed with this years edge rushers. Lawson and Ogbah seem to be the best options. This year seems to be especially critical that they target needs in FA and go BPA in the draft.
I don't view Lawson as a OLB, I can see Ogbah playing OLB, but I view him as a 1st rounder right now.
If I had to choose in the 2nd-3rd, I'd go with Noah Spence, though I have a feeling he will move up, my issue is the off the field concerns, which make me wary of selecting him high. I also like Darron Lee, but another 1st rd kid.
Kamalei Correa of Boise State and Yannick Ngakoue of Maryland are 4th rd picks to me, I also love Alex McCalister of Florida, he does have character concerns, but I still like him in the 4th-5th round.
Eric Striker from Oklahoma is a good OLB, waiting to see him at the SR Bowl.
And my #10 OLB is a guy I love, Stony Brook's Victor Ochi, finally checked him out, I love him. I view him in the day 2 range.
Out of the Shinre game players, I view thse are breaking the top 100, Vernon Adams, Victor Ochi, and Cre'von LeBlanc.
