I'd do it because I was a big Cunningham fan and was damn disappointed to see him go off the board right before our pick.
I do like what we've seen from Eligwe but that's still a hell of a wild card; maybe more ceiling than Cunningham but his floor remains 'special teamer'. Cunningham could never progress a day further along than he is now and be a playable ILB in our scheme.
I know why they did what they did with K-Pass, but I still don't see it working out like they hoped. Especially not if they're committed to the OLB thing. As a replacement for Bailey I see some potential there but I just don't see the Julius Peppers kind of long freak of nature they seem to see.
Even Peppers wasn't exactly good as an OLB, though that was a late-career move that may have had as much to do with age as innate ability.
I'd take it.
