See, I don't understand this. Everyone is complaining about needing a great pass rusher, but you want to draft a guy more known for pass coverage. And I'm debating with someone in another thread who is saying how important it is for OLB's in a 3-4 to be able to cover people. How many 3-4 OLB's can rush and cover really well?

When I watch 3-4 teams, I always see ILB's covering TE's. Even in the Super Bowl, the Ravens had freaking Ray Lewis covering Vernon Davis, not Suggs or Kruger. Bowman and Willis are responsible for covering TE's for the 49er's, not Brooks or Aldon Smith.

The main reason I want to wait until the third or fourth round for an OLB is because I don't think Jordan is that pass rusher everyone wants. That's why I said it would be different if Jones or Mingo fell to that spot.

That's fine for your opinion. Just recognize your opinion is out of line with consensus. If right you can crow about it later. If wrong eat crow.

I wanted Brian Cushing over Jenkins, woot woot

I add the coverage note cuz he is distinctly better in that. That and DCs are desperately trying to find matchup answers to these new breed TEs. Jordan might out jump Jimmy Graham on some back corner fades. (see above)
--------------------

will copy who exactly we need from another thread-

6-3 245lbs

3rd Rd pick, #60 overall

Swilling Sacks in NOLA from '86 to 92-
4
10.5

then they trade him to Detroit for a 1st & 3rd rder. Who were those you ask? Just Willie Roaf and Lorenzo Neal
