Who's the 3rd best LB drafted in this 27 year period? Are Sedrick Hodge and Martez Wilson legitimately in that discussion?

Kept waiting for Hodge to be good. Great athlete. Dude looked like he spent all his time in the weight room, and no time on the practice field. If I remember correctly, even the way his helmet fit on his head looked goofy as hell.

its so bad that itsa hard to find a bottom...

I understand they weren't heavy LB shoppers at the end of the Dome Patrol era but look at this run of busts from 93 to 2011 in the 2nd & 3rd Rd-

go figure that Arnoux was the one who lost his SB ring or whatever the crap that story was about.

Freeman was a huge bust. I remember the buzz around his pick.

I think he could actually play a roll on this team. He basically redshirted last year, but played okay the one or two times he got in.

Both had Pro Bowl contract years, then left us for division rivals.
