We haven’t drafted a LB higher than the 3rd since Rey Maualuga over a decade ago. At some point we have to address it. I’d personally rather draft a LB high than be forced to overpay one in FA.

I wouldn't necessarily call it dire.  You run 2 stack LB's in a 3-4 base, which would be Pratt and Bynes.  You also pull a stack off in nickel.  They can certainly use an upgrade and depth is a need, but I don't feel it's a LB or bust situation at 33, either.  They signed 5 new defensive starters in FA.  At some point you have to do something to help the offense.

I wouldn't say you can just go BPA, but this team has several needs.  They also need WR, T, and G.  It's very likely that the best available T and/or WR at 33 is a better prospect than the best available LB.
