Why can't the saints develop linebackers?

Because they are always drafted in rounds 5-7 or brought in as UDFA's

Martez Wilson was drafted in the 3rd round and he fizzeled out.

True, but the constant position switch could not have helped matters

Going from MLB to OLB then to DE in spags scheme, I personally think he could have developed nicely at OLB.

It took junior 4 years to get on the field.

I think they should have stuck Wilson in the middle next to Lofton. He couldn't stop the run but he could cover.
