This isn't a hard pick at all. The player matches the needs. Jermaine Cunningham is the heir-apparent at LOLB, and this guy can man the main pass rushing position, while also remaining versatile enough to rush as a RDE in nickel situations, or functioning as a Hali-esque standup defensive end.
The New England Patriots select Aldon Smith, ROLB/RDE, Missouri
