Nope. Best ILB prospect in the draft, hands down the best 3-4 ILB prospect in the draft. I think I can manage jumping up and down a while longer.

Nice one. It really was. Weren't you on this same exact forum arguing with me at that same time? :tumbleweed: I'm waiting around until I go to BCT what are you doing with your life since it seems so important to you...
 
When you cant argue against a true fact, what do you do, yes make fun of someone for doing the same thing you are doing! Brilliant, you copywrite that DcRy?
 
I like Brandon Graham, and Dan Williams a bunch ! I feel they will be future pro bowlers !
 
I don't think this is nearly as unbelievable as some of you guys. Rey Maualuga was pegged by some as a two-down linebacker a year ago. If he can get pegged that way, Rolando McClain can get pegged that way. He doesn't have the speed of a Patrick Willis or a Sean Weatherspoon, and even taking speed aside there are moments on the film when you see him try and turn and run and it's like, as Boomer is prone to saying, watching a ferry try and turn. The NFL is more and more trending toward coverage specialists.

This is why it is *HARD* to be worth a top 10 or top 15 pick as an Inside Linebacker. It's not at all easy and EVERY year we see guys pegged for that area at ILB that end up falling down the board. It's a different NFL in many ways than it was 10 or 15 years ago.

We'll just have to see. But I know there are some folks here trying to pretend like this is the most unbelievable and laughable of all things to report, and I'll tell you...it's not. Do I believe it? I don't know. But it's not ridiculous.

I'm not sold on McClain and this is why,our ILB's struggled big time covering, and chasing down the backs and tight ends, it always seemed like they were to slow ! And McClain looks slower than them, so i don't see how that helps us get better.

Exactly. Everyone said when the WC weekend came, "its all power running teams in there" than came SB time and the best passing teams as usual came out of the conference of late. It is a pass first league...front 7's now a days are just TOO BIG, to STRONG, TO FAST so they can stop a run of 3-4 yards that would have been a run of nearly 8-10 yards probably several years ago. No one thought Rey Rey was going to get past the top 10...dude went 234234 picks later. Vontae Davis was a bonafide top 5 pick before his SR season...he went to us at 25. McClain is riding his stock up, 100% but a lot has to do wiht the great game he put in and everyone saw against Texas and they think b/c of that 1 game he is a DO IT ALL BACK. Go read my posts, I have been on McClains wagon for a very long time but his speed to turn and cover lacks big time and I think CC might even be similar if not a bit quicker than him. CC ran a 4.7 if I recall and I think McClain will run the same time but on the field CC does not move like a 4.7 guy maybe a 4.8 which is how I see McClain doing where as I can see Spoon running a 4.5-6 with ease...he only covered the most explosive cat on the field yesturday in the endzone...something 110% McClain can't do with one especially a TE of Grahams speed or Gonzo from ATL.

The thing that really hurt Rey Maualuga is that he was/is a high functioning alcoholic.

He didn't even try and hide it last year.All the GM's and scouts knew.Some super hard core draftnik's knew it but not many.

The " Big O " from wqam talked about it last year but never said the LB'ers name but after Ray got busted he came out with it on the air this past week and said it was Rey Maualuga he was talking about last year..................it blow my mind when i heard that last week.

But it really go's to show the Cincinnati Bengals will draft anyone.
 
One thing is clear . . . McClain CLEARY improves the middle of our defense, and at 12, is a very solid pick. It's a need pick that could be the BPA on our board. He starts from day one. He IMO would be the best pick at 12. He has the size that BP covets in his LB's.

He may not be AS good as people are blowing him up to be, but I think he will be a very special LB for Miami.
