I think you can find an ILB after the first rd. I’d look for a player with the measurables.
6’3”, around 240, 40 time in the 4.6 range and a 3 cone below 7 (ideally).
Lot of quality ILB’s that are in that range that were picked after round 1. Zach Cunningham, Alex Anzalone, Gerard Avery.
But yeah I think CB is where we need to start.

No linebackers anywhere near the pedigree of White or Wilson, but you have some guys that could end up decent given time. Germaine Pratt from NC State is still a work in progress as a linebacker (converted safety) but has the measurements. I like that Ryan Connelly kid from Wisconsin. Joe Bachie from Michigan State if he ends up in the mix. I like Bobby Okereke from Stanford, but I want to see him in coverage at the Senior Bowl. Same goes for Khalil Hodge from Buffalo. Troy Dye from Oregon, if he declares, is great in coverage but I don't think he has enough against the run.
There will be some veteran options in FA for CBs that would allow you to develop a 2nd round CB as well so I'm not convinced it's a "must go round 1" situation there either. I think it's a "must draft a CB" situation but how dire that need is depends upon moves made leading up to the draft.
