I won't defend Moss, but I will say he was tasked with trying to make chicken salad out of chicken chit most years.

From 2006 to 2015, LBs drafted include Abdul Hodge, Desmond Bishop, Korey Hall, CM III, Brad Jones, DJ Smith, Terrell Manning, Nate Palmer, Sam Barrington, Carl Bradford, and Jake Ryan. 
No LBs drafted in 2008 or 2010.
Ummm, yeah, no.....

Acquired some guy named Ben Taylor via FA in '06, Brandon Chillar in 08, and Peppers in 2014.
I don't know if this is a complete list of FAs and doesn't include any UDFAs, nor does it include players moving from DE to OLB, but the point is made that acquiring talent at LB has been below average to poor.
2 impact players (if  Bishop is included) drafted over 11 picks in 10 years. 

Fackrell and Martinez were drafted in 2016, Vince Biegel in '17, and Oren Burks and Kendall Donnerson this year, so the jury is still out on these guys, but it's still an uphill climb for Fackrell and Martinez in my eyes.
