Playoff teams will shred a weak linebacker squad. Teams like the Niners are custom-built to exploit that weakness.I'm not even sure how much money we have left to spend on linebackers. But over the last year or so, I've learned to trust Gutekunst a lot more than I've trusted any Packer GM in 25 years, and I assume he sees the same things you and I see and is one (if not two) step ahead of us. He shocked the absolute hell out of me with McKinney and Jacobs, I imagine he's capable of doing it again.And again - we don't talk about this much, but I still wouldn't rule out a trade. I'm sure he gets calls on a regular basis about those receivers, and it wouldn't break my heart if one of the lower-tier kids brought us back a promising young LB.On the one hand, you're reluctant to trade any of them away before we know their full potential, but with some of them, we're never going to find that out anyway. We're at least 6 deep at that position; several of these kids are never going to get the playing time they really need to show how good they really are. We're going to have no choice but to dangle some of them as trade bait sooner than later; certainly no later than next spring, and possibly as early as this off-season.</blockquote>
