Wow. Ok, those people have no idea what they are talking about.

This draft is filled with a really underrated class of LBs that fit that bill. Maybe there isn't a Willis, or a Brian Cushing here, but there's some very solid value players.
Yup.
There are no high quality, 3 down LB's over 245 in todays game. Willis is listed at 240. Bowman is 242. Daryl Washington is 230. Kuechly is 235. It goes on and on.
The days of 250 pound 3 down LB's are pretty much over.

I hope teams make this mistake though and think Arthur brown is too small. Incase anyone didn't know I have Him as the number one ilb. I'd love him at 64 or trade up a few spots to grab him.

No way. Not that Arthur Brown isn't a good player, he is. However, there are MUCH higher rated players on both sides of the ball that will be there when Chicago picks.

Who was Bruce Irvin again this time last year?
Re: Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)
I like Phillip Steward at LB.
See post #2530.

I need to find more film on this guy. There's something about him on this tape that I'd really like to see confirmed (or not) in other games.
Re: Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)
One thing is certain: almost everyone's draft board is going to be changed in a week or so.

There isn't one franchise QB in this draft. If teams like Arizona, KC, Buffalo were smart they'd wait till the second and address another need.
