So what you're telling me is...

They only had five NFL-level linebackers entering the draft, and there are concerns about the status of two key linebackers, Marcus Washington (hip) and 2006 second-round pick Rocky McIntosh (knee), both of whom will be monitored closely."

"We were short on numbers at linebacker, and that's one of the things we had highlighted," Coach Joe Gibbs said. "We were kind of holding our breath there [in the sixth round], because there were a couple of linebackers we thought could make the team."

Obviously the LB position, both for starters and reserves, is an area of concern. We only had 5 heading into the draft (3 of whom are 30+, 2 coming off injury), and now we have two more guy Gibbs "thinks can make the team." Makes me nervous...

I'm failing to see your point. Now we have 2 more lb's, so our numbers are up.
ps- I never said we had GREAT depth. But we do have decent depth now, and our LB's are better for it.
