In the first place, LBs have to be exceptional to be in the top 5. I've seen evidence that Mayo and Rivers were worth first round picks, but I haven't seen any evidence thusfar that they can play to the same level as say a Ray Lewis. Because that's how good you need to be to warrant a top 5 pick at LB. Especially an OLB in a 4-3. That's years of draft history, not just my personal opinion.

AJ Hawk was a top 5 pick. That alone kills your argument.
