It's probably too late to add anyone of real note at this point.
The last LB we took in the first two rounds was Ray Mauluga (round 2) 12 years ago in 2009. Since that time we've tried to fill out the position group with middle round picks and bargain bin FA's.
Look, if you want to agree with that approach then that's your choice. But I don't think anyone can refute that the team clearly doesn't value LB's like they do with other positions. Nor do they value the position as much as other teams do.
People keep pointing to last years draft but I think that only strengthens my argument. They immediately handed meaningful PT to a 3rd and 4th round rookie, signed a scrub in FA and pretended like they were perfectly fine there.
