It's either Ingram sits, or JJ sits as it is now, and we're paying JJ a lot of money. A best case scenario would be for Phillips to agree to take a cut and come back as the pass rusher from that side. There might be some incentives for him based on sacks, or if he gets more playing time due to the other side not working out, however we go there. However, Fisher or no Fisher, I like the idea of Ingram inside.

I agree Ingram needs more snaps at ILB. That said I'd like to compliment him with other "interchangeable" linebackers opposite or even next to him. Linebackers whom can switch between both ILB and OLB effectively. I've got Chase Thomas in round 3. He's not nearly as athletic as some of the other prospects and needs a bit more bulk but he's 6-3 and has the skillset to potentially play both positions on the fly imo.

he certainly knows what it takes to play for a championship... he might not be a 'sexy' pick but he knows how to play ILB...

reading that article, doesn't he "fit in" with the McCoy-type player... they've talked to him... who knows but I wouldn't whine if they do take him... this is the type of guy that helps win championships...

I was going to say that he looked pretty big for a LB

At first I was like wow that guy is a fridge of a ILB. Anyways I like Nico Johnson, not sure if I would spend a second on him with other needs.

I'll always be wary of guys who aren't great athletes playing behind that Bama Dline. Like with Moseley, you can tell he's an exceptional athlete and player. Meanwhile, Johnson isn't much of a special athlete, and is definitely a later pick to me.

Nail meet hammer. This is spot on jh. Nico is not the athlete of pevious bama lb. He was a leader on that team which is his strength hes good againsy the ru. But not good in passing situations. The tide dline kept him clean. Mid to late roundet.
