I think Blades is better overall, but I think he's really out of position at OLB w/a tight end in front of him. His position is MLB & I think they really need to start getting him some reps there. I know it's a hard position to rotate since LF is an every down guy that calls the signals & knows the system. But long-term they need to see if Blades can take over at MLB. That would mean getting a decent OLB in the draft or free agency for this year at least.

Unless Heyer & Jansen make dramatic improvements prior to camp, I think (& hope) a decent rookie can come in and win that job.
