Who knows how these teams feel about the players on their roster and how much of an interest, i.e. 1st or 2nd round, they have in specifically drafting to address this need? Seriously, I'm asking and would like to know.
I'd have to think Jax, Carolina & New England will definitely be in the hunt and probably in the first round.
Teams worse than us in terms of 20+ yard runs allowed: Bucs 25, Raiders 19, Lions 18, Bills 18, Broncos 17, Giants 17. Only 1 of those teams had a Pro Bowl LB and it was Denver with Dumervil and we all know he was there because of his sack total. Furthermore, none of those teams made the playoffs.
