Merrieman was an impact player, but I'll take an inside impact player over the outside or safety.

I believe McClain is a rare impact player that can do it all in the center of your defense. He has size, speed, intelligence, great fundementals, and contagious intensity. He can blitz, shed blocks, stop the run, play zone, and even atheletic enough to go man to man TE's and most receivers.

I think he will perform as a rookie comparable to Patrick Willis.
