Re: What is the team's biggest need after the draft?

Our current linebackers (from Redskins.com):

Lorenzo Alexander - Will he fit as an ILB?
H.B. Blades - still good backup at best
Alvin Bowen (who?)
Andre Carter - Years in SF prove his lack of ability to play LB.
London Fletcher - 35 years old, will need Big Al upfront to continue his high level play
Curtis Gatewood - who?
Robert Henson - Last year 5th rd pick. Did nothing
Jeremy Jarmon - Played DE in college. Must make transition
Rocky McIntosh - Did have his best year with us in 2009, but true WLB in a 4-3
Brian Orakpo - Beast, confident he will play 4-3 DE and 3-4 OLB with no problem
Perry Riley - Rookie
Chris Wilson - listed as LB/DE

Yes, as I see it, in a 3-4 base, we have only one solid LB- Orakpo. Fletcher will produce as he always does but that's it. More than half the roster is either unproven, or previously proved they are limited to backup roles, best suited for the 4-3, or proven they can't play well in a 3-4.

We need serious ILB help.
