Between Hicks and Bostic, at this point I'd rather have Bostic. He's no B Wagner, but we were never going to get him, or a similar caliber player anyway. I'm not sure there was another one out there. I think it was B Wagner, then a handful of backups to choose from.
I guess I'm ok with the LB group. They must be pretty confident in Holcomb's ability and Davis' development, and they obviously weren't enamored with any of the other names out there. My guess is if Bostic wasn't released, they probably would have addressed the position in another manner - bringing in someone else, but they know what they are getting in Bostic as he was part of this defense when they were pretty good a couple years ago.
