This is why I wasn't such a big advocater of drafting DE turning LB's like pierre Paul or Graham. They can definitely rush the passer but they have serious questions when it cpmes to dropping into coverage.I think you're spot on about the Hawk/Chillar rotation, it gives away too much. Plus I thought the idea of when Mccarthy said that Chillar was a hybrid sagety *** totally BS when he got burned for 2 TD's against the Rams.I like your suggestion on taking Mcclain if available. Mcclain does have a 3-4 experience under Saban's defense but I feel he's a bit overrated. Mcclain is slow, lacks proper tackling fundamentals and if you lool at his INT's they're mostly tipped passes. Instead take a look at Brandon Spikes' plays, he diagnoses the routes clearly and baits the QB into a proper positopn wjere he can pick off the pass. I understand that the chatacter concerns are there but spikes' coverage abilities are too good to pass up.</blockquote>
