On the outside, Mitchell would have a rougher time than inside. Can you imagine him trying to cover a Tight End or slot receiver? Please.
When you have played most of your career at one position, youre supposed to know what youre doing. Making the transition from college to NFL is tough, when you know the position youre playing.
Moving to a completely different position and trying to learn all of that from scratch at the NFL level wont do Kawika Mitchell any good at all, at least not for a couple years even if he was able to grasp it.
If you want an OLB, sign/draft and OLB. Dont go moving MLBs to OLB just because they cant seem to get their head out of their ass.
The chiefs have been doing it for years putting safeties out at the CB position. It hasnt worked well at all. If you want someone to play a position, get someone already at that position.

Actually Mitchell has good speed in dropping in the pass coverage. It was mentioned by many scouts that before he moved to MLB in college, he was better served on the OLB position.
But those were old reports. We have all seen 1st hand, he provides nothing but a blocking buddy in the middle.
