Bunche's draft grade last yr was 4th round, he said, but he opted to come back: "I felt like I could be better than a fourth-round pick."

Linebacker Movements

Day two of the "Zach Whitley at OLB" experiment was interesting. He doesn't necessarily look natural there, but it is only his second day.

If Savaiinaea misses any time, it'll be intriguing to see if they keep Whitley at OLB or move him back inside. He could be a dynamite ILB.

So, yes, tailgating, I mean “picnicking” will be allowed.
