An immediate starter doesn't mean he is better or production from the rookie...we suck at drafting LBs...can you imagine what the run defense will look like if we pull this off and the replacement is worse? OMG!!!

We havent drafted a LB higher than the 3rd round. The good ones are usually found between 1-3. Got try sometime, why not now? Maybe we'll get the next Dome Patrol.

Agreed

The Steelers and the Raiders both drafted guys at LB in Ryan Shazier and Kalil Mack, both had pretty good rookie seasons.
