Keenan Robinson will be the Week 1 starter at middle linebacker.
JOHN SCHMEELK: Fact - Is there another middle linebacker on the roster right now with close to the pedigree of Keenan Robinson? Nope. Could someone else be added down the road? Sure. Am I confident someone will be added that will be better than Robinson? Nope. Right now the projected starters at linebacker would have to be Robinson, Devon Kennard and JT Thomas. I think the safer bet, based on history, is that neither free agency nor the draft change that.
DAN SALOMONE: Fact - From OTAs to training camp to preseason, there’s a long, long way between the start of free agency and Week 1.
