ILB was not among top 2 offseason needs. Might be only 4th or 5th, actually.
Center was #2 by a mile as a priority need. Still is, and signing Blythe certainly does NOT solve that problem. Would be like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.
But after those 2 quibbles I certainly agree that weak OLB is still a screaming need and it must be addressed via draft or at least a 2nd tier FA. Otherwise that edge is a house of cards and will be exploited every single week because it is one of the Ram D’s very few weaknesses.
I can’t put it any simpler than that. A new weak OLB is a ‘must have’.
