I think part of it is that in a 4-3 scheme the LBs are not supposed to be the big play makers. Most "big name" LBs are 3-4 OLBs who get tons of sacks
But we have still missed on a lot of players.
When Marvin first arrived he brought in a lot of LBs. Free agents Kevin Hardy and Nate Webster . Two third rounders in '04 (Landon Johnson, Caleb Miller) and a first and second rounder in '05 (Pollack and Thurman). But none of them worked out very well.
Then after that we did not seem to be really interested in LBs until we used a first on Rivers and a second on Maualuga.
