If the defending opinion for not drafting a top LB is the idea that teams are going to Nickle as their base? I can't really get on board with that idea.
What if I told you that teams go to Nickle because they don't have the LB personnel to effectively cover the underneath routes? Going into Nickle really make the defense susceptible to the "surprise" running plays. You know, those runs that seem to come on what would appear to be passing downs.
Having a bonafide SAM backer that can actually cover a TE, as well as play the run, would be a tremendous thing to have.
