What are we going to do at DE?

One position no one is talking about drafting is linebacker. I think Fletcher will play well but whos gonna take his place when he retires, I think hes 32 years old already. Plus we have little depth at the position. Im not saying draft one with the 6th pick, but if we trade down it would be wise to pick one. trust me i know everything

Well, there's talk that Lance Briggs may not be out of the question just yet.

Even so, the linebackers are set this year with Washington, Fletcher, and McIntosh/Marshall. The problems along the D-line far outweigh the need for a long-term project to replace London Fletcher.
