Our LB's however..when they are sent on a blitz, they don't do shit. They get caught up behind our D-line, or just get blocked out. Our LB's totally suck.

I agree. But as I said in my previous post, DE is one the few positions in which a rookie can contribute right away. I do not recommend drafting a rookie corner and starting him in a year that is supposed to be SB or bust.
If you want to draft a MLB, I'd be fine with that, but we had better also sign a pass rusher. Hicks' lack of production has killed this D the last couple of years.
We need a new start at DE, MLB and CB. If Carl can come up with legit play makers at each of those positions (tall order) then we at least have a fighting chance.
