I will be really mad if we don't draft LB in the first or try to sign one FA that is faster than Hawthorne and Lofton. That part of the field is huge concern.

+1. It's a major concern. There were several instances today where L Bell caught a pass in the flat and there was absolutely no linebacker in sight.

I agree. Problem is this team just doesn't seem to use high draft picks on LB. The last time we drafted a LB in the first 2 rounds was in 2001 and we've only taken 2 LB's in the first 2 rounds since 1986! It's probably why it's been an issue with this team for a while.
