Linebackers just ain't looking too good in the draft!

Finally, close to 30 linebackers will be selected over the two-day draft period and most will contribute on special teams and back up existing starters in the NFL. After the selection of Derrick Johnson, I don't believe this draft has a Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher or even a Keith Bulluck, but I do think there may be an Ian Gold, Dhani Jones or Dan Morgan-type. But you better reach for them because if you wait until the third round, the short supply will be gone.

I've always valued what Kirwan had to say. Looks like Mr. Kiwan doesn't think too much of the LBs after Derrick Johnson.

I am dead-set against taking any LB in the draft with our first pick. Unless it's Derrick Jonhson.

Fogetaboutit!!
