If I were senior executive vice president of football and Snydersuckingup relations, id address the LB position this way:

-Attempt to sign Washington to a deal close to the vet minimum.
-Sign Matt Sinclair
-Use our natural 1st round pick on Michael Oher and use our 3rd round pick to draft the best available LB, hopefully Marcus Freeman from Ohio state or Aaron Maybin from Penn state.

In camp, Fincher and Sinclair would fight for a roster spot.

I know this dude has dropped from the top 10, but 3rd round? I haven't heard anything to indicate his stock at this point would put him in the 2nd even.

A guy I like a lot who Kiper says is likely a high 2nd rounder is Clint STintim of Virginia. If he or the guy English from N. Illinois happen to fall to the 3rd they would be a relative bargain (at this point, I know a lot can happen between now & then, pro days, etc.).
