Chiefs Could R.McClain play ROLB? - Page 4

There is nothing wrong with bringing the idea up ...

i don't agree with the premise but there is nothing wrong with talking about it.

I hope we take McClain over Berry. The ILB group only has 2 guys at top, then the talent drops off a cliff. There is much more OL and S talent in the 2nd and 3rd round than at ILB. Many say the 5th pick is to early to take a LB, well #5 is to early to take a S for sure. McClain is a safer pick then Berry. I think Berry will be pretty good, but he will not be the great playermaker everyone thinks in the NFL in my opinion. McClain seems to be a much better character and much better leader to me.

1. McClain
2a. OL
2b. OLB/S
3. RB (we need an insurance policy for Charles)

pickup a WR who can catch the ball in FA and one olineman.

My offseason dream.

Center and guard?

Oh jesus. This is like an annual tradition now?

Moving arguably the best 3-4 ILB to ever enter the draft and wasting his ability at OLB sounds great to be because of his size even though hes about the same size as some of the best MLB's in the game

Also keep in minde we have a good D cord. That could teach him along with Vrabel. Then we could try to sign a guy like Barret Rudd from the Bucs to play IMLB or draft one. Hopefully B.Spikes falls to the 2nd round. What do yall think, bash away.

I don't neg rep people, but you just came awfully close.

I think it's comical to see some people think all LB's are interchangeable and have pass rushing skills.

Outside LB's in a 3-4 are pass rushers, it is not a position just anyone can play, learn this.

Which is why it would be nice if we picked up a guy like Sergio Kindle with our first pick in the second round. He's athletic enough to play either side and has shown the ability to be able to get to the passer and disrupt the backfield from a LB position.

It's not playing to his strengths at all... yeah he could play the outside and he would probably be average at best but you put him inside and he is a monster

He's also a Texas player that's been underproductive in relation to his physical talent...

Was Derrick Thomas an ILB or OLB at Bamma?

Perhaps if we bench broke-dick Vrabel and let Studebaker play and develop, get our elite safety, and pursue an LB in round two, we could have both foresight AND not be completely reeruned!

**BossChief** · 01-15-2010, 08:23 PM

Ill say this too, if Berry doesnt run a 4.4 40 at the combine and runs a 4.5+, he may slip a few spots because the class is rounding out to a good one. Not out of the top ten, but I can see him slipping a few spots. This draft will have good safety options through round two and three.
