I mean legitimitely start. Hell, I could start. Of course, I'm 6'0", 180, 39 years old and have never played LB. But I could start if they put me out there.
Silliness aside, the reason I'm convinced we're taking a LB is that unless Beisel, TBC or (no way) Claridge is ready to start we need a starting LB and it's the only position we can say that about. Say what you want about Reche Caldwell but he was a legit starter for SD (making 3 or so catches a game, same as Givens) before getting hurt and is now two years from his injury. He may not be a great starter but he clearly can start in the NFL.
So if we take a non LB in Round One, is there anyone who can start at ILB or OLB for us ? Guys like Gocong clearly can'. Mark Anderson I see mentioned a lot for Round Three. Give me a couple of legit guys who could start Week One, otherwise I'm not moving off my "LB or Bust in the First Round" stance.
