Games are won and lost in the trenches. It doesnt matter how many great skill position guys you have if you cant block long enough to get them the ball, you will never score and therefore you will never win. Thats why you hear so many GM's say you should always build fron the inside out. No way is an OLB as important as a OT.

In fact no LB is as important as the DL in front of him. A LB is only as good as the DL in front of him. The best LB in the world isnt going to make a difference if the DL in front of him isnt capable of doing their job.
