Investing substantial resources in the position is a reflection of putting a premium on the position. I mean they literally used a first-round pick in their first ever draft on a LB. They've drafted a bunch of LBs(Reuben Foster, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, Dee Winters) and given sizeable contracts to Malcolm Smith and Kwon Alexander. Hitting on Fred in the 3rd and landing Dre in the 5th doesn't diminish the fact that they've absolutely put a premium on the position.
Also found a stud in UDFA in al shaair Azizz (or however his name is spelled). We have quality depth along the linebacker position, not just the starters. It's very impressive.

*crack* one of the best hits I have seen in a while. Lenoir was having NONE of it haha. Lol when the announcer says, "Wow!", I just bust up laughing hard
