Rivers aside (I know that actually happened,) we haven't gone LB in the first since Spikes and Simmons. Those guys were pretty good. Since then... QB twice, WR and OT thrice, TE twice, CB umpteen times. Our LBs have been mid round picks, FAs past their prime, undrafted FAs. If you don't put a premium on the position, it's hard to find premium players.

That was gonna be my reply. Lol

They've put the draft capital into it over time, it's just turned up shit for them. They select terrible LBs. I am starting to think they need to just get OL and LB from FA/Trades these days and just stick to drafting other positions.
