I read this article recently because I was interested too. It helped me understand quite a bit.

Welp this explains the luke pick

 

"The middle linebacker must be very smart in this defense, and his reads must be spot on. He needs to have the size and power to stop a running back dead in the hole, and the speed to range from sideline to sideline. Think Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears, or legendary linebackers like Jack Lambert and Dick Butkus."

 

Sounds like Luke to a T.
