Have we as a franchise been too picky when it comes to picking a linebacker?
At what point does speed and youth outweigh the intelligence of a savy veteran? Speed can make up mistakes and experience can prevent them. Where's the middle ground?
Lance Briggs was a third rounder.
Vrabel a third rounder
AD a sixth rounder
Demeco Ryans in the early second
Zach Thomas a 5th rounder
David Harris- 2nd round
Karlos Dansby- 2nd round
If we never draft linebackers we can never find a diamind in the rough and never develop this player.
Are we just bad at drafting linebackers?
I get kind of sick of hearing the "we need big linebackers that fit our system"
We need speed and become an attacking defense.
