[QUOTE="ThePerfectBeard, post: 905839, member: 2047"] Actually I can and I don't need your help. Clearly both the Ravens and Steelers were willing to spend high draft capital to address their inside linebacker position. TJ Watt, Bud Dupree, and Devin Bush are one hell of a trio and the Steelers have been trying to replace Shazier for a long time. They actually signed Mark Barron the same year they drafted Bush in the top 10, which tells you how much they value the position. Vince Williams isn't a slouch either. The Raven drafted Queen and Malik Harrison last year in the first and third rounds... what does that tell you about how they value the inside linebacker position? Spending two picks in the first three rounds to improve the position... especially when they had literally no receivers. So now, let's look at the talent in their entire 2020 linebacker corp: Pernell McPhee, Yannick, Queen, Harrison, Judon, and Bowser... that's a lot of draft capital on linebackers. The Saints were actually ranked 2nd last year... Zack Baun(74th overall), Demario Davis(3rd round), Alex Anzalone(3rd round)... now they play a 4-3 so technically, you'd expect their front four to be the high draft capital players, which they are, but still, there's no 5th-udfa in their starting linebacker corp. The Rams do seem to be filled with 5th to UDFA guys, but that defense as a whole took a step backwards last year. They also benefit from having the best defensive lineman in the league as well as an incredible secondary. Washington plays a 4-3, but they have two 2nd round picks playing MLB along with an incredible front 4. The 49ers were beat to **** last year, but another team with one of the games best ILBs. Now, one that you completely left off, but became the best defense in the league once they got everyone healthy, the Bucs... I'd say having Lavonte David, Devin White, Deone Bucannon, Kevin Minter, and Shaq Barrett counts as investing in your linebacker corp. But I digress [/QUOTE]
