I consider Leon Jacobs the third linebacker at SLB.  I believe Quincy Williams will be the backup at WLB.  I do consider Jacobs average at best.  However, again, it's a part time position.  As such, I would consider a mid round pick on it if value is there, but I wouldn't draft one early.  Our early picks need to be every down players.  I do agree with those that think we may take one or more late round picks for depth at linebacker.  Outsider of maybe Williams, our depth is lacking.
