One reason I see him as a possibility is because we run a 3-4. And you can't have enough talented and athletic LB's in a 3-4. that is the point of the system. Have Bigger d-lines to occupy space and allow the LB's to work in space and fly around to be in positions to make plays.
We don't have alot of depth/talent at LB and we need it if we are running a 3-4. We've got DJ, and Hali, we need at least one more stud LB (I know we have Belcher, Studebaker, and will have Vrable) but none are that extremely talented.
I'm not saying we won't take someone else like an OT, or NT. I just think that where we are at, and the depth of the OT position this year, we might take Ayers in the 1st and look to WR2, OT, and NT in rounds 2-4.
