[QUOTE="nelanator, post: 241383, member: 889"] I'm in the same boat. And I think that the underlying piece to this probably lies in Raji's poor work ethic in college, as I mentioned above. Raji's personal interviews at the combine are going to ultimately decide where he goes, IMO, because every GM in the league is going to want to know which Bj Raji they are going to get if they draft him. If the Packers are smart they will avoid him. Since they are installing a 3-4 scheme with a roster that is not suited for the scheme in the front 7, there are a lot of ways that they can go. Rey Maualuga is a freak of nature and would make a perfect fit as a ILB in the 3-4, where neither Barnett nor Hawk fit that mold very well. As far as OLBs go, it is hard to scout these guys for a 3-4 defense because the elite ones rarely ever play that scheme and position in college. So you end up taking a college DE that is a DE/OLB tweener like Aaron Maybin or Everette Brown. Both these guys are big, fast, and athletic pass rushers that are a tad bit undersized to play defensive end in a 4-3. [/QUOTE]
