Sure, If you measure depth by the metric of depth meaning that you have 2 high level starting caliber players at each position ready with a third talented underling below, we are thin at LB.

But seriously, how many teams have that? Santos, Banderas, and Rose give us a quite solid lineup at LB with a combination of talent and experience. Newby will be a solid sub and it looks like Gifford and the true freshman are coming along nicely.

Several new guys coming in this fall.

As far as meaningful minutes goes, Z. Anderson is the only one missing from last year. Love never played, so losing him isn't that big a deal.

No we don't have Dick Butkis, Ray Lewis, and LT as our starting LBs, but we'll be fine.
