Think we will all be pleasantly surprised...

...to see what an investment in a solid middle linebacker can bring to this team.

Lbs were always downgraded in this defense scheme, and teams understandably can't invest in every position.

But a good middle linebacker can clean up a lot of the tackles that leads to defensive breakdowns and helps prevent the big play. It leads to consistency and a good MLB will make a world of difference when we add one.
His name is B.J. Goodson

Look, he's battled the injury bug this year but he's the guy. Just because Reese is out doesn't mean this team is going to put a priority on MLB that isn't even a pressing need. The defense isn't even the problem with this team. It's every aspect of the offense except for WR and TE.

That's a lot to fix as it is, don't need to pile on something else that doesn't really need fixing.

Oh sure, who needs to cover all those tight ends who scored TDs on us the past 2-3 years? Are you serious?
There is nothing BJ

Goodson has shown to be the middle linebacker next year?

The only thing he’s good at is spraining his ankle

Giants are 2-10.

We have pressing needs everywhere except for Landon Collins, Snacks, Engram, Shep, OBJ and Tomlinson.
So long as we stop drafting only DE, DT and CB...

...and still have to spend huge FA money on DE, DT and CB because the picks turned out to suck, then I'll be happy.
Not many options in FA

The only guys that intrigue me at LB are Jon Bostic and Zach Brown if they shake loose.
Goodson had good timed speed

But man does he look slow in coverage. He has truly been awful covering TEs

Made some nice plays against the running game yesterday but I just don’t see him as a three down LBer
