But they will keep Trevor off his back if Trevor isn't forced to drop back and pass on every play because we can't stop the other team.  Trailing 14-0 in the first quarter is a great way to get your QB killed.  Surely you guys can understand this.

I understand what you're saying and it's a valid point. I just go by the mindset of building from the trenches so trading up to get Linderman was a better choice than for Lloyd, even if they did have to trade up two picks earlier to do it. And after we got one LB I don't think we needed another, not when we hadn't got a WR or TE. 

Two LBs improve the defense and that helps Trevor. A lineman and a WR would have helped him more, and more directly.
