The Future of the Linebacker Corps

I've been wanting to make a post about this for awhile now, so I finally decided to.

Our current starting linebackers are WLB Dunbar, MLB JL55, and no one at SLB. So my question or reasoning of this post is to see your guys' opinions on the futurre of this group.

We have JL55 locked up for the next few years and I believe Dunbar is in the last year of his contract because he only signed a two-year deal. They may be wanting LB Daryl Smith to occupy SLB for a year or two with the report of him coming in for a visit (left without a contract).

I'm worried about Dunbar having another good to great season and leaving for another team that offers more money than us. And then were back to pretty much having nothing next to JL55 again. I know Snead/Fisher have their plan, but this is what has been on my mind...

Is Dunbar better fitted for the SLB? Do we draft a WLB this year (Ogletree or Greene) that can cover better and more athletic and rangy from sideline-to-slideline? Or do we just leave Dunbar at WLB and draft a SLB in the later rounds.

What would you guys do?
