According to a recent ESPN Insider article, the 2008 LB class has no elite talent but much second-tier talent. Therefore, it might make more sense to grab a CB in the first round and a LB that falls in the second round. What do you think?

The bad news is that the 2008 crop of linebackers lacks a talent of the same caliber as A.J. Hawk or Patrick Willis. The good news, though, is that this might be the deepest linebacker group in the past five drafts. Don't be surprised if as many as eight second-tier talents come off the board between picks No. 20 and 63 overall (the last selection of the second round).
