Think about that for a minute.In my opinion, a stud versatile LB is the most important position on the field, a guy you can lineup anywhere, on the LOS, drop back in coverage,etc., a player that an offense has to scheme for every game. Yes, Vontaze was first round talent but with all his issues he went undrafted. 

I would venture to say there's not another team in the NFL that's gone that long or maybe not even 10 years without drafting a LB in round 1. 

I looked up six teams and found two examples of teams going longer than that since they last drafted a LB in the first.

Rams 2002
Giants 1984

I presume you mean most important position not including QB.
