And he plays a position that is very easy to learn. He got DROY because he had a ton of tackles. But the 3-4 puts ILBs in a position to make plays. It's the least important position in a 3-4.
In the first place, LBs have to be exceptional to be in the top 5. I've seen evidence that Mayo and Rivers were worth first round picks, but I haven't seen any evidence thusfar that they can play to the same level as say a Ray Lewis. Because that's how good you need to be to warrant a top 5 pick at LB. Especially an OLB in a 4-3. That's years of draft history, not just my personal opinion.
