NO ONE is disputing it is harder to get 3-4 LBs than it was before, we all agree it is harder. However, draftin g a small, slow, weak OLB like Jarvis in the 1st round has nothing to do with that argument. He was a 5th round talent when better, stronger, faster and more talented OLBs were drafted much later, see Jamie Collins etc. We wasted a #1 pick on a bad player and as a result will now be drafting a LB #1 for the 3rd straight year as a result. You can tell us all how good Jarvis is but we all know from watching him play that he lacks the talent to be a good OLB and will never justify wasting a 1st round pick on him, rushing to the podium with 14 minutes left on the clock to draft a player that was falling out of the 1st round in a pass rush crazy league, he fell for a reason, he sucked. But then again Tomlin was thrilled by his poor combine and pre draft workout as it scared off other teams, my god that is the most idiotic thinking imagineable but not uncommon for the mediocre Tomlin.
That was hardly the case for years on this site. Saying this was the case was called using a Strawman argument. Where did I say Javis was good? I said he needs to stay healthy and produce for us this year. I just disputed what happened on that play he was hurt on.
For the record I was huge on Jamie Collins but I don't draft.
