Do you like Ice Cream? Well how ‘bout this ice cream? Yeah, that doesn’t work as well as apples (shout out to the GOAT Will Hunting nonetheless). Anyway, WE’RE DOUBLE DIPPING HERE LADIES AND GENTS. I was VERY tempted to add one of the interior offensive linemen here, but solving our long-standing linebacker issues for good was too tempting. A triumvirate of Baun, Pratt and Davis-Gaither would constitute our most physically gifted LB group since the Spikes/Simmons/Foley trio, and would help put a stop to debacles like the ones we were subjected to against the Saints and Chiefs over the past few seasons (games that saw our LBs relentlessly exploited in space). We’d also be better positioned to wrangle Lamar Jackson going forward because…wow.

 

Other Options at #107: Hunter Bryant, Bradlee Anae, Tyler Biadasz, Damien Lewis.
