Building a Champion - Inside Linebackers

The NFL is in a strange place.  Example one, the traditional Fullback position is disappearing.  Many teams do not even have a fullback on their roster!  Another position in flux, is the inside linebacker position!  With the Run/Pass option offenses, 4 to 5 receivers on the field, the inside linebacker cannot survive!!  So, teams are playing 5-6 defensive backs.  Adapting to NFL offenses make defensive coordinators play for more speed.

The Packers inside linebackers:

Curtis Bolton - 6'0" - 228 - Year Rookie
Oren Burks - 6'3" - 233 - Year 2
Christian Kirksey - 6'2" - 235 - Year 6
Randy Ramsey - 6'3" - 238 - Year Rookie
Ty Summers - 6'1" - 241 - Year Rookie

Just like our defensive line, this may be the biggest need!  No All Pros, and scary, NO RETURN STARTERS!  Martinez is gone, our leading tackler the last few year!  So, now what?

Oren Burks - 6'3" - 233 - Year 2

This player should be ready!  Problem is cannot stay healthy!  Has great speed, a converted safety,
so has what it take to play against passing teams.  This is the year to shine Oren!  SHINE!

Christian Kirksey - 6'2" - 235 - Year 6

With our salary cap situation, we could not sign a #1 tier ILB, so we signed a #2 tier Kirsley.  Word on the street, has a high level of energy & is a great leader!  Now, all we need is a great ILB!

Ty Summers - 6'1" - 241 - Year Rookie

Played a lot of special teams last year.  Tough kid, but lacks speed, so, not able to play a 3 downs!

Randy Ramsey - 6'3" - 238 - Year Rookie
Curtis Bolton - 6'0" - 228 - Year Rookie

Young and unproven!  Will have their chance in the pre-season!

So, what do you see!  1-2 draft picks go to the inside linebacker position!

So, wide receiver, defensive line, & inside linebacker!  NEEDED in the 2020 DRAFT!
