After watching some quick film on both I think Miami might go towards Weatherspoon a bit more due to his great coverage skills, extremely physical and HARD HITTER (somethign this defense lacks, biggest hitter is Davis..a CB) and a good instinct/tackler.

I think I am starting to lean towards that guy as being our ILB of the future more so than McClain even though the man is a beast (I doubt he gets past 11).

McClain prob wont last until 12.
 
right now I think Weatherspoon, Thomas, and Graham are the best options at the moment.

Ofcourse he is. Have you seen him play? the guy plays on all 3 downs, covers if not better hten neone in the draft (backers), hits extremely hard, tackles well, and always finds a way to be involved.

No one say Mayo being picked that high...look how he turned out. Oh Hartline, end of the day its about whether the guy can flat out play and do something that someone else in his spot can't do as well (meaning draft spot not position).
 
that's your opinion...that's not mine...i don't have him worthy of pick #12

to each his own
 
I dont believe Weatherspoon is worth the 12 overall pick either.....Nowhere near it.
 
Yea. McClain is worlds better than Weatherspoon, and him not being worth the 12th is my opinion as well. Not to mention McClain has a very good chance of being their at pick 12. ILB isn't usually a position that gets drafted very high. Honestly, if McClain isn't their at number 12, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see us trade down to around the 20th pick or so and go for a Jerry Hughes, Earl Thomas, or Brandon Spikes.
 
I can get with that if McClain is gone and we trade back. Not the height BP normally likes but he's definitely a player!
 
Let me put it to you this way.

McClain is a top 10 pick, and a top 10 player in this draft, and possibly top 5.

Weatherspoon is a second round talent.
 
would it be too early to take a dan williams or terrance cody at 12. I realize that they would probably not be the BPA, but it would fill a hole if we didn't land a WR or Rolando.

soliai I'm not sure is going to cut it. although he showed signs of improvement over the latter part of the year.

I think it would be too high to take DT at 12. The reason is that, although the second round DTs are not as highly touted they are very good. However, the second round ILBs are not as good.
For example, in the second round you can get a line player DE/DT/OLB like: Selvie, Griffen, Pierre Paul, Wooten, Brian Price, Vince Oghobaase, Jarred Odrick.
 
with the 12 pick is either McClain or Dez Bryant and Bryant is a MAYBE.. of course this is provided SUH or Berry dont drop down by some miracle of God. I say if the original two arent there we should trade down.
