    With all the hoopla over ILB needs, I looked at 14 other teams that play the 3-4 and took a look at their starters (per the NFL depth chart). Here's where they came from:

    Rd 1 - 5 (Pittsburgh has 2 of them)
    Rd 2 - 8
    Rd 3 - 4
    Rd 4 - 1
    Rd 5 - 2
    Rd 6 - 1
    UDFA - 6

    So it seems the majority of the starters at ILB do come in the 1st or 2nd round. I'm surprised at the number of UDFA. But thought I would share this to help out with the discussion. This does not include the Packers, as I wanted to see where the rest of the league was. So it would appear that TT needs to put some more emphasis on those first 3 rounds for ILB. Betting on a later round or UDFA seems like hope, and hope is not a good strategy.

    The Packers ILB are a 4th and a 7th.
    I stand corrected. That's almost exactly the league average across all positions where 30% of starters are first round picks and 47% of starters are first or second round picks.

      IU not an OT factory: The most appearances by a Hoosiers tackle in the NFL are 146 games — recorded by Bob Skoronski, 5th-rounder in 1956.
      IU is not really an anything factory in football, but even if it were, 146 appearances is a lot for an offensive lineman.

        I want to make a bet on it.
        Don't think he'll take an ILB at all...

        I'll take a look to see who's left though... of those listed at ILB, I don't want any of them in the 3rd. There might be a couple of OLB's that I'd move, but would look at them as more 4th-5th round guys.

        I like Jatavis Brown out of Akron, but not in the 3rd.

          One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                  Aren't 13 ILBs just under half the League starters, not the majority? And weren't the Packers in that group until last year?
                  Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      • Why draft an ILB when you've got Carl Bradford?
