McClain is a lot better than Curry.. and only the dumbass Chiefs fans wanted Curry last year.

Early on in the Texas game, he played a screen pass perfectly. Read his key, all his steps were downhill, and he "played fast, but not in a hurry." I'd have no problem drafting him high as an ILB. My poor wife had to watch as I replayed that one play 12 times.

I gave him to the Chiefs in my little "who I think the Chiefs are going to pick thing" how weird.

Mecca, sorry, I was tied up today but wanted to weigh in on this.

I agree with your theory somewhat, but my issue with it is if you totally discount a player from a specific school or university, then you loose out on players. Under the "no (insert university here) players allowed" concept, you take some quality talent out of consideration. I believe Kindle can be a very good player.

However, I do think that when you choose between similar players, the tie should probably go to the player at the school/conference that has more overall talent and subsequent higher level of competition.

Rolando McClain , LB, Alabama, 6-4, 258, 4.68, mid-first round

McClain did just about everything you could at the collegiate level, winning a BCS championship, SEC crown and Butkus Award as the top linebacker in the country after being named first-team all-conference and All-American the past two years and Freshman All-American as a part-time starter in his first season in Tuscaloosa. He was credited with 104 tackles, 14.5 for loss, four sacks and two interceptions in 2009, all career highs. A bit tall and lean to play in the middle for most 4-3 teams, McClain's skill set makes him an ideal fit in the 3-4 playing inside or outside, and his football intelligence is coveted just as much as his athleticism.
