Depending on the system, for sure.
But at linebacker, it helps to not suck. Though I dunno, Vikings' best linebacker not named EJ "Hasselbeck breaker" Henderson... or Ben "I might be White, dunno" Leber... is Heath Farwell, undrafted FA who dominates on ST and in preseason with the 2s and 3s... I bet he could succeed somewhere, but then... he's not a "name." Like Napoleon harris, ugh.
Anyway, it's better to have a scrub who knows the system than a player who doesn't know the system, BUT if you NEED to get somebody, you should probably find somebody who has NFL experience who knows a certain coaching style. Defense is a lot harder to expect from a Car salesman... than the whole "run in a straight line" thing the Ravens kick returner can do...
