However, as we saw last year with Clay Mathews, Orakpo, and Brian Cushing Linebackers usually make an immediate impact and generally the transition is very easy for them.
The difference between Dan Williams and Cam Thomas is not the same as the difference between McClain and Sean Lee.
McClain will be an instant playmaker, run stopper, leader, and pro bowler.
I'd add Maualuga to that list. IMO he was the main reason the Bengals turned around as they did.

Either pick would have worked and we could traded up for either with the right deal. I really wish we got one of the USC Trojans or Laurinatis last year. Maybe McClain is the direction we should head this off-season?
