Most 3-4 OLB's were DE's...

I watched a ton of TCU games... Hughes may not have played versus the BEST teams but he did face some decent Olinemen and still dominated... I'm not sure you can overate an athletic guy with a nonstop motor and a great work ethic.

While I don't think he the "runaway" best OLB I do think he edges out the others for the top spot. Honestly though, as I said... I'm not sure any of these guys are a BAD pick... solid solid group.

I know what a good LB is value wise and drafting McClain at 5 is not value. He's not Ray Lewis or Patrick Willis.

Solid year for depth, not a solid year for there being a premier prospect at the position.

There aren't any clones of them.. but hes about as close to them as you get.

What if I sat here and listed off all the LB's that got picked late and are fine starters?

You saying theres a big difference between McClain and ILB you can draft in the 2nd round? Because I don't see it.

You can do that with any position.

But it's very very prevalent with that one, LB is like the RB of defense.

Heres who I would like to see the Chiefs sign in free agency http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pla...rt=NFL&id=2663

Then draft a ILB in the middle to late rounds.

Karlos Dansby is never going to be allowed to leave, they franchised tag him for this year.

You think the Bidwells will actually spend money?

In case you haven't noticed, Arizona is right on the cap and they have several players with huge contracts.

Didn't know that but they've picked in the top 10 for so many years it shouldn't be a surprise. They almost let Warner go to San Fransico. They will also have to choose between who to pay Dansby or Boldin.

Yea people said that last year too...Arizona's issue with losing players has nothing to do with being cheap it's because they are right on the cap.

Arizona isn't a cheap team anymore.
