Cardinals solve their QB problem, how do we solve our tiny linebacker problem?

[32EBoozer]

so With the addition of Mosley and Polite, what are our options for our former #1 pick? Will it be a distraction in camp?

Would you take a 4th or try to trade for a player? Another Mac debacle. Mac’s return to the scouting ranks is not far off.... will never get a GM gig again.

Thanks Charlie! ??

Reaching for controversy I see. You do realize 3 linebackers are required in a 4-3 right?

I have definitely payed less attention to Casserly on NFL network because of Bowles and Macc. Kind of like having Roseanne Barr help your daughter pick out her prom dress.?

There is no controversy.

He can be traded or he can play for his place. This isn’t QB. He can get snaps if he earns them. Rosen never had a chance.

I am ok keeping Lee and watching how he plays in Williams defense, very low cost compared to the $30+ million they will have invested in the interior Dline - opposing teams can't double everyone and with his speed, Lee will not need many pass rush moves running untouched to the QB

also I don't think the Cards solved anything - more questions now than before the draft, they join Giants and Bucs  in the dumpster fire

The guy has a $1.8M salary. It doesn't hurt anything to hold onto him. He could be useful as depth and/or in nickel packages. After the season he walks and you hope someone overpays him.

So Lee - Mosely - Polite will be our LB Corp?

[Anthony Jet]

Let’s hope the jets don’t handle anything the way the cardinals handled there QB situation

You make many good points here. The one thing I wonder is...if Jets think that there are guys that will make more of an impact than Lee will/has that they may target here if they could swap him?

Williamson Mosley Lee. Polite is DE in a 4-3

1st round pick LB's on LB weak teams shouldn't be depth.  It says alot about that pick if thats how it plays out.

But you're quite right, there is no cause to move him if we don't need to.  I doubt he'll be too much of a distraction.

He is?

So We'll play Anderson - Williams - Williams - Polite on the line, and Williamson - Mosely - Lee as the backers, you think?

[TokyoJetsFan]

Raiders have picks 4 and 7 in the 4th round.  NFL.com mock draft has the taking with the 4th pick:

Round 4 - Pick 4 (106)

Vosean Joseph LB

FLORIDA - JR - 6'1 / 230 LBS

 

Lee is 6’1” 220.  We could possibly get Butler and Love if we trade Lee to Chucky for this pick.

[tfine]

Anderson Williams Williams Polite/Jenkins.

Williamson Mosley Lee


This forces lee to play more of his natural position which is a WLB in a 4-3

They are really so much better suited to run the 4-3.  With or without Lee. 

[joewilly12]

I have a feeling Lee gets traded today to Minnesota. 

[Fantasy Island]

Lee to Tampa Bay for a 5th round pick would be nice.

[thebuzzardman]

Can they turn him into a big box safety and he becomes everything Calvin Pryor never was?

Which do you want, Mosley or Polite to drop in coverage?

What part of trading away a #1 pick before the end of his rookie deal for a Day 3 pick is "nice" as you see it? 

Hard to see it as anything but a disappointment, I'd think.

If we can parlay Lee our 4th and 6th round picks into pretty good prospects at C, CB, and maybe a WR I would be thrilled by the end of the day.

Minn. does have like 12 picks today so it would make sense.

agree, especially on offense, if they can get a 6'5", 230 pound WR who ran a 4.5 at the combine it would help Sam and I am all about that (wish Mac was too)

Well he folds like a card board box if that  helps ?

If we can trade him today for a 4th - even a late 4th - we should do it.

Need more picks with C, WR, CB, TE all still needs.

If we can't get a 4th, or a 5th plus a pick next year, just keep him for depth.

That leaves Jenkins out who is coming off his best season. I believe he led the team in sacks last year

The pick was pretty obviously a Bowles pick undersized hybrid type player Bowles probably said we need to take this guy he is my honey badger and Macc said it that is who you want we can grab him

Jenkins had 7 sacks and experience playing the position but yea let’s bench him so we can move suckass Lee or Avery Williamson to Olb

This. Lee will not be traded. They need him to cover. This is why they will keep him because they really have no one else that can do the job.

[nyjets1969]

Move Lee to weak outside Linebacker position same thing parcels did with Marvin Jones years back. In fact this is a very similar situation  Marvin Jone was not playing to the level a #4 should be some people considered him a bust when Parcell took over he shifted him to outside and he was a different LB.
