Alright, I am trying to break down our LB haul and figure out what else we need or want to complete the puzzle. Chevis and Claiborne seem to be big bruising run stuffing specialists. Chevis more pure bulk, Claiborne just tenacious and hard hitter, but both MIKE backers. Ranking the 2, I get that Claiborne is better at covering sideline to sideline but both struggle at pass coverage. Now we have Wade there too, and from what I remember he will become a WILL backer, so I guess the coaches think he has the agility and lateral movement to cover the slot receivers which is good enough for me. I just ask because all are listed as ILB's. So the big question is who fills the SAM spot? A guy like Prevot is a great pass rusher or WDE if he can add weight, but if he moves back to LB does he have the skills to cover TE's or a slot receiver? Then there's Hollins, what is his specialty? How are his cover skills and can he plug his gap on run plays a SAM? Along with the MIKE backers we are also looking at Williams and the savage. Obviously the savage will find room anywhere if he wants to come but is Williams versatile enough to play something else or bulk and spin down to a DE or something? If by some chance we start looking better for Mitchell or Stevenson or Benjamin out of Florida or Skai Moore where do they fit as linebackers? I honestly don't know the rest of these kids well enough to know what positions we are recruiting them for.

We will probably know more throughout the season but any light can be shed would be great to help me better understand the positions and players for the positions. Feel free to correct any misrepresented information stated above as well. TIA
