Considering the fact that neither Lee or Carter has stayed healthy, Albright and Wilbur are serious question marks, and Connor does not have anywhere close the the athletic ability required in a cover 2 scheme, yes it is.Rack Bauer;4963885 said:It's not even CLOSE to being a need at this point.

They won't, but I would if they did. Would not hesitate.
Andrew Luck comes once ever 10 - 15 years. Griffin isn't as good as made to be. Luck is.
In saying this, Smith and Barkley are more talented than currently being said.
Since neither will be there, I go d-line first, o-line 2nd.
Nevermind this bum of a LB.

Say Lee gets hurt.
That probably leaves us with Wilbur - Carter - Albright at LB.
I would be horribly uncomfortable with that.
No.Rack Bauer;4965626 said:So we should draft a backup "incase Lee gets hurt" instead of drafting starters?
Again, LB is not even CLOSE to being a need on this team right now. Not a need that requires a first round pick.
Future;4965730 said:No.
You draft a guy who is a capable starter, so that the position becomes one of the elite groups in the entire league and when one guy gets hurt, it remains a strength.
I'm not an ND fan, and I'd rather have OGletree than Te'o...Rack Bauer;4966061 said:Unbelievable.
You must be a ND fan? I'm a ND fan and I love Teo, but LB is nowhere NEAR the need that OL, DL, and safety are.
We have some young LB's on the roster. You have to give them a shot to earn that job or else drafting anyone outside the 1st round is a waste of freaking time.
