Is this finally the year that Denver pulls the trigger on a high-round inside linebacker? Or, is there better value to be found in the later rounds?
The guys over at 1st & 10 at 10 on Orange and Blue 760 tackle this debate on their “Take the Case to Court” series, with Steve Atwater making the case for targeting an inside linebacker in rounds 1-2, and Ryan Edwards making the case for waiting until rounds 3-4.
Atwater makes a good point, that Vic Fangio has mentioned repeatedly the needs they have at the inside linebacker position, and how he feels it has evolved in today’s NFL.
