But at least you have Donald and Brockers both of whom are young talented starters. By contrast ILB is a crapshoot with an undersized starter (Littleton) and a bunch of question marks.

The MO position in Wade's defense is a coverage LB and has always been that size in his system. Littleton fits it perfectly. So did Barron.

On the other ILB, the MIKE. Having question marks is not a crapshoot. It means we don't know. "Don't know" does not mean bad or good, it just means we don't know.

In fact Reeder looks like an excellent prospect.

We'll see about Hager.

Either way the MIKE ILB is on the field less than any other defensive position. It's a role and is handled by a role player. This year more than ever Wade's D will be in nickel and dime subpackages more than in the base 3/4 so that means a safety will be on the field more than the MIKE LB will..
