my question is, why didn't we take the next best LB after Hughes instead of a corner?

Read the article. We had Hughes rated at that spot. Colts got him. Let's say your next rated LB is like at 50 or 60 on your board. You're not going to pick him up in the 1st round. That's reaching and you end up paying 1st round money to guy that will probably never earn it. They did it right. Just the nature of picking last and people not working to deal with you.

I see your point, but LB was not our only need. If the next LB was #50.
then I would have went with Price from UCLA.
