Many of our issues on D stemmed from PP - not saying that we don't need help, but our players never had a fighting chance.
Also, let's just say - for the sake of argument - that all or our issues on D were due to a lack of talent: Would you pass on a star WR for a pretty good ILB? I wouldn't. In the 1st, you have to draft great players. D. Bryant will demand double teams and make game-changing plays. McClain will be solid.
Also, if McClain is available (doubt he will be), he may not be the best ILB available (not convinced he's better than Spikes), and I'm pretty sure that he won't be the best defensive player available (C. Dunlap will probably be there).
I don't get the love affair with McClain.
