Exactly. Keep in mind that Nate Stupar is going through a grueling bout with an intestinal disease. He's lost a lot of weight, and as much as I hope he comes back full strength, there is no guarantee he'll even really make it back.

And Kikaha is coming off another blown out knee. So there's another question mark. Maybe the reason for drafting another LB is to make sure we have solid depth for ST and for backups in the event one or both of those guys (along with regular injuries) can't make it back.

And I don't think anyone needs to wonder about Ellerbe. Good hell, that guy is great when he's on the field.....it just isn't that often.
