Well he's not wrong in the sense that 3-4 teams have more "linebackers" but that's because in a 3-4 you have 4 LBers on the field in base formation, while in a 4-3 you have 3. So while technically yeah, you have more LBers on the roster it's because you essentially are replacing one D line spot on the depth chart with OLB's. But the reason this was interesting to me was because of the two LBers that we selected. Lloyd and Muma can both play ILB, Muma almost exclusively is a ILB and so is oluakon. Devin Lloyd imo is probably a better player at ILB than both the above mentioned guys, but also has pass rush ability.
