I'd be surprised if we spent significantly above Anthony Walker-level at linebacker.
Linebackers just aren't important. I'd rather spend on defensive tackles who can keep linebackers clean and allow them to make plays than spend on linebackers who can't do shit because the DT gets walked back into their face every play.
You only need two, and JOK is one of them. I think Takitaki has a shot at being the starting Mike. He looked far more comfortable there than he ever did playing Sam.
If we can find defensive tackles who can keep our second level clean, I'd love to find talented linebackers who can take advantage of that--but let's start with the defensive tackles first.
