How do our LBs stack up?

With Bradham, Hicks and Nelson, assuming Kendricks is gone, how good are our LBs compared to the rest of the league?

Do not assume Kendricks is gone, the trade him came from media. Eagles said nothing and they just said on Quick Slants he will be here, Nelson is taking over for the loss of Burton on special teams and is a back up LB.

Ya, Nelson is not a starter. Bradham, Hicks and Kendricks stack up very well though.

As a group (if Kendricks is here), Id like to think top-5

Interesting, I thought he chose Philly over Denver, who matched our offer, because he wanted an expanded role. Maybe he will still be playing more in Philly than he did in Denver but still not as a starter

weakside linebacker is such a small part of this defense, I think Kendricks is available (again). Whether they move him remains to be seen.

IIRC, When Bradham and Hicks were in, Kendricks only saw 27% of the snaps. Granted, he adds a lot of depth if (when) Hicks gets hurt.

Kendrick’s play lights out this year.

That’s all I’ve got to add

I was just looking at BRs 'NFL 1000 scouts' and Bradham was listed as the 7th best 4-3 OLB last season and Hicks, was listed as the 14th best ILB with a note that they believe he would`ve been higher had he played more games. Only CAR, TB, MIN and SEA had both a OLB and ILB in the top 15, so top 5 looks about right.

SO FAR HICKS CAN'T STAY HEALTHY. BUT WHEN HE IS HE'S THE TASMANIAN DEVIL OUT THERE.
