[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 832268, member: 4199"] It's difficult, because, overall, ILB is less important than it used to be. You can think of them as the fullback of the defense, which kind of makes sense, as they are the guys butting heads with FBs. As the running has decreased in focus for offenses, stopping the run has gotten less important. DEs, CBs, and S are just more impactful to the game week after week. For an ILB to be worth drafting early, he needs to be able to match up and play coverage against TEs and smaller scat-backs. The two in the most recent draft went top-10. We'll likely take an ILB when we can get someone with the speed and skillset to be a 3-down and/or dime linebacker. Maybe Burks is that guy, we'll see. [/QUOTE]
