Quote:I find it funny that it seems like if he was strictly a pass rusher, he would hold more value to you, but since he does other things well he is a reach at 3.

 

That's not correct.  In fact, I think the guy is overqualified for the LEO position if anything.  Like I said, I think both LEO and LB could be found later in the round.  People's main argument about taking a LB in the top 5, was "no, but he's a LEO. He's a pass rusher."  as their argument as to why you would take a LB in the top five, despite the lessons that history tells.  One of the whole points of the Seattle defense, unless I'm wrong, is to generate a 4-3 pass rush without having to have a typical monster stud 4-3 DE which would take a top 5 pick and years of waiting to find.  (which at 250 Mack isn't even close to) Seattle cracked the code.  And Jacksonville is basing their defense off of that.  So why spend a top 5 pick on something you shouldn't have to spend it on.
