[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 570715, member: 5830"] Interesting ILB stats for you: TT hasn't drafted an ILB above the 5th round since 2006, when he drafted AJ Hawk in the 1st round and Abdul Hodge in the 3rd. Thus far, 13% of TT's picks have been linebackers (both ILB and OLB) which compares to Mike Sherman using 14% of his picks on LBs and Ron Wolf 12%. The average draft position of TT's linebacker picks (Round 4.3) is also on par with Sherman (Round 4.3) and Wolf (Round 4.5). The difference is that Hawk and Hodge skew TT's statistics to be on par with Wolf and Sherman. One could argue that there have been greater needs each season than ILB. With one solid starter in Hawk and consistent needs on both lines, safety, and running back (over the years) one could reasonably understand why TT was hoping that one of his scouts would strike gold with an ILB in the later rounds. It just hasn't materialized and is the gamble that all GMs make....which position is the priority for the offseason? One could also counter that ILB is a position worth finally plugging a hole with a FA, although he essentially did that to fix his string of misses post-CM3 at OLB. [/QUOTE]
