It's the least important position on the field
Huh? When do the Bengals ever have only 1 LB on the field?
It's not at all an unimportant position. And if you don't believe me then take a look at the amount of LB's taken in the 1st round these last 5 years:
2021 - 5
2020 - 4
2019 - 4
2018 - 4
2017 - 5
Total = 22
Now look at these other positions on defense over those same 5 years...
DE
2021 - 4
2020 - 2
2019 - 5
2018 - 2
2017 - 6
Total = 19
DT
2021 - 1
2020 - 2
2019 - 5
2018 - 3
2017 - 1
Total - 14
DB (CB+S)
2021 - 5
2020 - 6
2019 - 3
2018 - 6
2017 - 8
Total - 28
Why are teams investing 1st round picks into such an unimportant positon?
