Krauses Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Any chance Akeem gets some reps at ILB? I thought he looked really solid in coverage last year and even got a pick. I think he could also provide some inside pass rush from the postion similar to a Jamie Collins. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he play LB with the Rams in their 4-3? I remember reading something about that when he signed here. He was a bit out of position, but I feel he could make the adjustment if we didn't get some help in the draft (I'm hoping for Reddick!). Not a bad thought, would definitely be interesting to see how he plays there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts1324 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm completely against trading back in the 1st because there is too much talent at the top of the draft, but I'm thinking if we go ILB, Ballard trades back and grabs Cunningham or tries to see if Reddick lasts a few picks longer. I doubt Foster is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say in coverage are you talking about chasing rb`s & te`s? I say unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
