We subtracted two, and I assume Lattimore is hanging by a thread too, and Bradford is still around somewhere, so that means it takes two newcomers to stay the same quantity-wise, and maybe as many as four if we were to get rid of Lattimore and Bradford. I haven't really done any independent research on draft prospects, but there have been half a dozen or so mentioned, any of which I could see as a 2nd round pick (I still want Melvin Gordon in the First). I'd also like to see the Packers pick up a mid-range Free Agent - Bruce Carter of the Cowboys the one I'm the most familiar with. I see continued use of Clay Matthews inside more than half of the time - he seemed to me to contribute more there than on the outside. If Barrington is the second best ILB, he's decent. Those two current players plus the 2nd round pick and hopefully quality FA, and we have a nice rotation. Beyond that, either Lattimore/Bradford or whatever low round or street FAs we can get to upgrade from them.
I look at ILB and OLB as two sides of the same coin. One reason I want Matthews used a lot at ILB is that I really want to see Jayrone Elliot used a LOT more at OLB.
