To play MLB in a cover to you have to be able to drop deep in coverage and be good at it, that is his biggest weakness. Connor isn't a 3 down LB either, he's a 2 down thumper.
Basically picking Connor would have been taking his biggest weakness and asking him to do it all the time as his job.

Dan Connor played the pass extremely well in college. He had way more interceptions and passes defended than Rivers did overall and statistically he did better each year, whether he was playing inside or out. Also, his ability to play both the middle and outside made him more likely to be a three down linebacker.
