The Scaaary Recruiting/Depth Discussion We Should Be Having: Linebacker

Much of our consternation about defensive recruiting has been focused on the Defensive Line. For good reason. It's always crucial to get yours there every year. But even after Herman's purging and our inability to secure 2018 DEs, the youth on our roster is more promising than the conventional wisdom holds. Holdovers like Nelson, Roach and Omenihu are proven assets. And I can make a pretty compelling argument that we'll have good depth behind them (barring multiple injuries and bad luck) with players like Cummins, Fitzgerald, Wilbon and Graham on developmental schedule. Holes start to show up in 2019 (which is why the 2018 DL matter), but we have to trust the development process.
