It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Well there are 3 components to assembling a roster were are at the start of phase 1. We still have more free agency before and after the draft and trades. We need 1 or more LB's. I would however point out that we are running in nickle and dime sub packages > half the snaps. I also suspect we may be running more 4 man fronts, both these reduce the number of LB snaps.

Not too worried about LBs. But who plays safety next to DMAc? Harmon? Maybe the Pats can draft Ha Ha?
We ran lots of 4-3 and sub last year. We had two solid subs: Collins and Fletcher. We needed both. Collins replaces Spikes as a starter. We still need two subs. One can be a special teams player as Fletcher would have been without the two injuries.

I wish I could be as optimistic -- I see this as a clear and major need.
Mayo, Collins and Hightower are the only LBs on the roster who I see as locks to be playing in the NFL this year. And a speedy coverage LB is a key missing piece for flexibility in game planning. (Notice that the FAs they've shown interest in were the smaller, faster kind, while they let Dane Fletcher seek greener pastures.)
there was only so much they were willing to offer Fletcher, and he found a team willing to pay him a lot more. If Fletcher hadn't found a better offer, I believe they would have welcomed him back with open arms.
Did you ever think that maybe Brandon Browner will be converted to safety? It would not be the first time Bill Belichick converted a collegiate cornerback to safety, Devin McCourty and Eugene Wilson are two examples.Not too worried about LBs.

Please, God. Jordan Tripp, Christian Jones, or both.
Arthur Moats? Besides that possibility I'm guessing we'll get a couple in the draft/udfas

Ha Ha is a FS. At SS, I like Craig Loston and Isaiah Lewis. Both round 3 and later guys.
Couple of players I would worth a look in my opinion –
- Pat Angerer
- Desmond Bishop
- Jonathan Vilma
- Erin Henderson
We need an LB that is too short, too small and sucks at tackling, because that's what everyone said Lavonte David and Zach Brown were.
I would think that you're probably right with this thinking. Fletcher had proven to be just fine in spot duty, and even had the potential to start when needed.
We all would have liked to have him back, but the price was likely just too steep for Belichick's liking, I'm guessing.
