Alabama LB Rolando McClain Visiting At Least Four Teams - Arrowhead Pride

I wouldn't mind getting him. I don't care for the idea of drafting a OL in which we can get one in the second round just as good. Mainly cause we have just as many holes to fill and fix in other places.

And our Oline is easily good enough to wait until the 2nd round to address. Even then, we need the most help at G/C. Ducasse and Saffold will be front runners I'm guessing.

Icorrect. Baluga is slated top 10. Mcclain bottom 10. Fact.

Haven't seen anything projecting McClain to the bottom 10 of the first round. He will be taken in the top ten.

Nah, the earliest McClain might go is to the Broncos at #11. My bet is that he goes to the Pats at #22 or the Packers at #23. ILBs (especially ones with crohn's disease) just aren't that valuable.

Why? You'll find out in a couple weeks. In the meantime I will tell you that positions such as safety and ILB simply arn't worth a top 15 pick...

Here's a good article (http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftsafeties.php) on why safeties aren't drafted top-15. You can replace "safety" with ILB too.

And here's a mock draft clearinghouse. http://walterfootball.com/draftdata.php. See how many have McClain in the top-15.

Nah. I'm here to have fun - not do research. If you disagree, that's cool. If I state that it's a fact, I'll post a link. Otherwise, it's just my opinion...
