What do you guys think? Keep my currently plan that gets me what your looking at, or try something else.

more JMP+VIS less tkl for coverage backer imo,.

More jumping and vision for sure--jumping should be 70-75, and vision should be in the low to mid-80s. There's also no reason at all to invest in the top SA tree. Diving Tackle might have a bit of usefulness, but Change Direction, Super Vision, and First Step would all be more valuable.

strength could be higher to help with deflections

the attributes look great to me. I didn't review your SA's. I really don't think you need high vision. Jumping is fail on a LB imo, you are fine where he is at. The tackling is very important, you have to be able to tackle. Coverage or Run stop.... come on... he's a LB..

Your dot will perform well at Pro levels. I've not been to WL so I can't say there.

I agree. coverage, or w/e, tackling is still very important, and regardless of the archtype, he will still have to tackle HB's and TE's.

By the way, I think you need high vision, I meant to say, I don't think you need "higher" vision. 77 should be plenty. imo.

yeah it's fine, especially since he'll probably have the football genius VA.

Bolded the problem statement. For a WL-level coverage LB, jumping should be higher. In season 22, my older LOLB allowed 58 receptions on 85 targets while on a WL team. Those numbers were terrible, and they were a byproduct of not having jumping high enough (as well as a lack of investment in Swat Ball). For younger coverage LBs, it is very easy to get jumping to 68 minimum without hurting the rest of the build. Moreover, jumping is most certainly not "a fail" on LBs in general--it can play an important role regardless of what type of LB you have.

Again, I disagree. 85-90+ vision (with FG factored in) is pretty standard right now for high-level coverage LBs, so why leave it at a less-than-standard level? It's not that hard to raise it up to a better level, especially without a ton of unnecessary SA investment.
