It's definitely time to draft a MLB. I may question their picks on offense, but these guys definitely know how to select defensive players in the draft.
I think it's great the we have a player in Barron who we can keep as depth for WLB, safety and big nickel SLB. Crazy to think how Lovie Smith couldn't fit him in with his system but he's capable of playing three positions in ours. Love that trade and no ill will towards the defensive coordinator of our super bowl win Just how it goes I guess, and he's just one of those guys I don't think we'll have a hard time signing because he's such a great fit on our team.
I think that's probably the best strategy right there, if they happen to come across a MLB at BPA in the draft, or trade around their picks to get the value they want at the position, like they did for Ogletree if I remember right, and of course you keep Laurinaitus to start the season at MLB until your pick is ready to start.
And to the OP, Barron is already kind of our guy at SLB in big nickel, which if you remember is kind of what they were going on numerous attempts to find someone else to sub in for better pass defense, which makes sense when you think about how we like to play our safeties.
