The top overall defenses last year were Baltimore, New England, Chicago, New Orleans, and The rams. 

These are the top LBers from those teams.

Mosely- good/elite

Hightower- good (more of a pass rusher)

Roquan Smith- above average

Demario Davis- average 

Cory Littleton- Special teamer

You dont need a great LBer to have a great defense. DLine and secondary far more valuable so like I said get LBers that do their jobs and invest in impact guys to rush the passer and cover receivers

DK Metcalf no matter what.

Where TF are you getting your stats?  Scoring defense?

edit:  PPG makes your argument look even more silly with the top 10.   All of those teams have some quality LB's.

Googled top defenses and NFL.com had them as the top overall. Seattle and Carolina aren't top 10 and they have the 2 best LBers in the league. 

I'm still waiting for you to make a point that leads to proving that linebackers are somehow of a diminished value...?    You could stick Patrick Fucking Willis on the Browns defense mid 2000's.   He'll still be a badass, but the defense overall will suck because of the unit around him.        One man can't do it all but good linebackers hold together a defense.   Just ask Cincy.

The NFL is passing league so LBers are diminished value there is no debate. You dont need a Patrick Willis anymore. The Bill's had the #2 d according to your list and their best LBer is lorenzo Alexander

PPG...    Out of that list you have Roquan, Trevaithan (pretty good),  Mosely, Woodyard, Jack, Smith, Jaylon, Vander, Hightower, Barr and Bulter.

 

That's a pretty solid list of names there.

I'm not saying they aren't good I'm saying that it's more important to prioritize pass rush and secondary. Just like you dont need to have an all-pro OG just a guy is fine

Projected 1st rounder who slipped. I'm trusting Dorsey and I really like the fact he traded up a few spots to make sure he got his guy.

So the big q is why greedy dropped...was targeted as a first rounder

Total head case, major character flags and he’s a one trick pony. He’s really good at his one trick tho and it’s man coverage. He also doesn’t tackle.

Glad about the pick but but man Jim brown looked bad. Not trying to be funny, he looked confused like my grandpa did before he was told he had dementia.

It's a brutal game and these dudes deserve every penny they can get.

Someone was watching ESPN and now thinks he's a draft guru.
