Chicago Bears Need to Go Linebacker Shopping

NFL Draft – Outside Linebackers

Outside linebackers are a little tougher for me to scout because so many are 3-4 outside backers that basically become rush linebackers.  Here are a few names that are generally considered 4-3 OLB’s to hold down Nick Roach’s old spot.

Jarvis Jones – Jones has been given a clean bill of health but concerns linger about a spinal stenosis. If healthy, could be a monster.

Arthur Brown – here’s all you need to know about the K-State product, from Walter Football’s bio on him:

"Brown has the reputation of being totally devoted to football with the drive to be great. He was unable to work out at the Combine."

Khaseem Greene – the Rutgers linebacker was extremely productive and has the reputation as a turnover machine.  Lovie Smith is drooling somewhere.

What do you think Bears fans?  Should the Bears go the draft route or free agency?  Perhaps both?  The Bears need linebackers and probably more than one.
