Exactly! A big body in the middle will make the whole LB corps better behind them. While I loved Fujita and he will be missed he is no more than an average NFL OLB. With a good line and a good secondary you can plug players in at SLB or WLB.

... but aren't weak side and strong side more specialized now? They aren't really interchangable are they?

I meant that with a good line and secondary the two outside LB positions can be more easily manned by average LB's. Yes, they are specialized in most 4-3 defenses.

Maybe, but our only draft pick this year that will step off the plane and into the starting line-up is Fujita's replacement. Still seems to me that person is our newest priority.

Not necessarily. Solid LB's are routinely found in the middle rounds. Fujita, for example, was only a 5th round selection himself.

Also, only two LB's have been taken to this point. That leaves a ton of talented LB's left on the board.
