[QUOTE="ThePerfectBeard, post: 905860, member: 2047"] I didn't say they were inside linebackers... I swear you're just looking for stupid arguments to "win". What I said was that's a great group of linebackers that those teams have spent a lot of money/draft capital to build. Every single team I mentioned was a top 10 defense and invested more than a 5th round on their inside linebackers. The Packers have neglected the position for YEARS and it shows. The middle of our defense has been a huge weakness in the pass game and run game. Our linebackers were not filling holes and they couldn't cover. Our team, like you, continues to undervalue the ILB position, but what I was proving was that 8 out of 10 top defenses last year invested 3rd round picks or higher to shore up the position. They do not think it's a wasted position like many fans and the Packers organization do. I know a ton of people like to go along with the Packers strategy and believe they're smarter for buying in, but when it comes to defense, their philosophy has yet to work. Now, I'll reiterate that I believe DL and CB are much bigger needs right now because I don't want another lazy argument. There are a ton of holes in the defense though and I think if there's a stud at ILB that the new DC believes will improve the defense in the first, I'm not going to stomp my feet if we pick one.
