[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 832630, member: 10441"] I think the 2 biggest reasons were scheme when we switched over to Dom as DC and where we were picking. those that are considered "elite" linebackers are gone early, just like this year. So are most positions I think. But you can project DE's as OLB's and tackles as dominant guards and all sorts of DB's to chose from that are fast or have physical traits you think you can reach for and mold etc. Those guys that are in the 6' give or take and 230-250lb range that can de-cleat a RB, take on a 290lb pulling guard/shed/and tackle, and can turn and run with TE's down the field are pretty rare. They go fast. There aren't even many of those guys you can reach for, but DE's that could play OLB are not a rarity. Lots of teams try and do that every year. I think draft position had something to do with it too. After you get past 1-3 of those guys, I think there is a pretty big drop off. Not always, but when there are all sorts of other needs and you have a DC who wants DB's and pass rushers and fat dlinemen we get what we got. [/QUOTE]
