I suspect Kirksey will be getting cut soon to make room for the new LB additions.
Adding Perryman and Littleton brings two veterans with a pro bowl on their resume. They are much better tacklers than what was roaming NRG last season. If DeMeco can work his magic then this LB corps will be much improved.
The reserves Wallow/Cashman/Hansen will be fighting for their jobs. Assuming Reeves-Maybin and Kirksey are removed as the “vets” then maybe they will stick around. But we still have the draft and the team can still add to this position if DeMeco wants another backer.
I’m interested to see how DeMeco will want to use Christian Harris. He is the most talented of the bunch. Hopefully he makes a significant jump in year two and stays healthy!
What are your thoughts on the LBs?
I still think it needs to be addressed in the draft but I am more thinking they can address it day three and hope they can leverage DeMeco’s history of developing LBs like he did in SF with Fred Warner (3rd round), Dre Greenlaw (5th) and Al-Shaair (UDFA). Spend the premium picks to upgrade the DL and make everything easier for the rest of the players on D.
