Everything has to be right for him to really be a productive player. Little was right for him in '99. Also, it's possible he didn't handle his new-found wealth in the right way. The depth at wide receiver is as good as it has been in years. You can get a good one in the fourth or fifth round.
Linebacker is strong at the top on the outside but it tails off.
Inside linebacker is thin, as usual. Our pedestrian linebackers can't blitz and even our best defensive lineman, Vonnie Holliday, appears to be of the read and react sort. Tyrone Williams and Mike McKenzie can do that when they're on their games. Granted, the linebackers are horrendous blitzers, which Fritz Shurmur knew so well. The former DL wasn't quick, but with Booker and perhaps Gilbert Brown gone the unit will get smaller and presumably quicker.
