Should the Commanders target Jaylon Smith as LB depth?

With the draft now in the rearview mirror, Ron Rivera and other Commanders’ staff have been asked about any remaining holes they see in the team’s roster. To the surprise of almost no one, Rivera has made it clear that procuring additional linebacker depth is a priority.

In the interest of trying to get a handle on which veteran options currently on the market might be a good fit in Washington, a number of posters, most notably Atticus17, have been doing a deep dive into the top free agents available. As part of an exchange earlier today, I did some digging of my own, and not surprisingly, nearly all of the linebackers on the market have some shortcomings that have caused them to remain available to date.
