I'm not saying this to justify my pick, because my pick was just a homer pick, and not a value pick. But, the result of the discussion was the lowering of the starting salary for LBs, making them a justifiable value at any point in the draft (equal to other positions) instead of the previously cost prohibitive salary to draft early in the draft. Of course, this doesn't change whether or not you should take a LB at this point, but strategically I'm sure you could find at least 6 teams that wouldn't have taken whoever was drafted at each spot since the firt half of the 1st round.
