Fast forward a few years when we've actually put effort into drafting the position and suddenly we might have the best LB corps in football.
It's all about prioritizing scarce resources. Give it time - we'll be fine.
EDIT: Found the thread
And really, we've done the same comparison a couple times when talking about WR here vs. what the Steelers have done. We had Hill - so we didn't draft a lot of WRs. Before that we had Derrick Johnson so we didn't draft a lot of linebackers. When we had to transition away from our established superstar, it took a little time but we got it taken care of.
We will this time as well. |
Plus the Watson FA acquisition reduced the need to draft WRs.
