Dennis Allen's defensive scheme is clearly DL and DB centric. Here are the 2020 LB snap counts:

Player	Pos	Off Num	Pct	Def Num	Pct	ST Num	Pct
Demario Davis	LB	0	0%	1032	98.66%	6	1.32%	Demario Davis 2020 game-by-game snap counts

Davis was in on 98.66% of defensive snap counts. All of the other LB's combined weren't in on that many. That means they averaged less than two LB's on the field for the season on defensive snaps.

The defense clearly isn't designed for the LB to be that impactful. That isn't because of any draft success or lack thereof. It is based upon scheme.
