Which I'd honestly like to see us getting away from a bit. Gimme an athletic linebacker who I can keep on the field on 3rd downs (Gay or Harrison) over a stiffer safety who I have to hide at LBer on 3rd downs.
And again - I admit that this is likely just a product of me being unwilling to stray too far from convention. But I think you make your teams awfully matchup dependent when you add too many guys like Chinn and I wouldn't want to take him in lieu of an 'easier' fit if one exists.

There are probably at least 10 teams that think Chinn is an everydown LB.
