I'm going out on a limb and going to say the OLB that could compliment Clay Matthews III is NOT on the Packers roster. Way out on a limb with that.

Two Free Agent names come to mind. Mario Williams and Robert Mathis. How's that for reaching??

Any other Free Agents?


What about in the upcoming draft? I've read some good things about Whitney Mercilus, sadly I know nothing about him. I don't watch much college football.

As mentioned in the other OLB thread, Cliff Avril makes sense. There's a possibility Detroit may not have the cap space. Although he's only been a 4-3 DE, he has pretty prototypical size for a 3-4 OLB. He can get after the QB. Makes sense.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

The Mike Neal to OLB thread? Why would you talk about Cliff Avril in a thread titled Mike Neal? 😛

I don't care where Avril goes, as long as he's not a Lions player, lol. Williams, Avril or Mathis, any of them would be peachie.

Agree with your answer that he is not currently on the roster.

I just hope fans aren't quick to judge whoever Ted brings in. We do not need a pure pass-rushing OLB - in Capers 3-4 system, a pass-rush specialist opposite Clay would mean less opportunities for Clay to rush.

We need a player who can get some havoc when called upon to pass-rush, but who just as importantly can set a good edge against the run and is athletic enough to drop in zones and get into passing lanes.

Honestly, we pretty much need a more consistent Erik Walden type of player. Ideally you get an upgrade from Walden (a bit more talent in the way of improved speed and athletic prowess would be great, and more disciplined is a must), but a more consistent Erik Walden could work reasonably fine also.

So while I think the long-term solution is not on the roster, if there is any player who could be it, it's Walden. Perhaps an off-season program does wonders for him... he does bring the overall skill set we could use opposite Clay.

Either a first-round draft pick, one of the above mentioned (though I'm not sure about Mathis in a 3-4).

The FAs at 3-4 OLB are really thin after those 3 guys, who will probably signed within the first week of free agency. Hopefully Ted Thompson doesn't wait 2 weeks again then pick up some bum like Matt Roth.
This is a placeholder
