On the other hand, many will say that an off-ball LB doesn't make as much of an impact nowadays compared to DB and pass rushers.
I think ultimately if you are going to take a LB that early, you have to have a defensive scheme that makes the LB uber important.

As I stated before.. part of your drafting is to compete within your division.. and if you look at our division.. LB moves up a notch in priority... and i would say it still one of our weakest areas since we are so young and probably going to lose Byne to FA... If we sign Lawson that lessens pass rush push in 1st round, if we sign a major tackle that lessens tackle at #5 and if we sign Jackson that lessens CB.. now you look at our depth at WR and LB plus our division and it just says LB over WR for me..

I still prefer to trade back  but I support LB as #5 pick unless we get a good one in FA
