Good value. I think Pioli has guys like Gates in mind with this pick. He's big, and physical enough to jam TEs at the line of scrimmage, and slow them down long enough for Hali, and Houston to kill the QB, and eliminate the quick dump offs.
Arenas can lock up on the Harvin type slot WRs, and this guy can lock TEs down. In what has become an air it out or die league, you can never have enough good DBs.
Looks like Pioli is sticking to his board, and picking what he believes to be the best player available later in the draft.
