Rolando McClain

Thoughts on him in Oaklands defense? Morrison was a top 8-13 LB as the MLB for the Raiders the past few years. Does McClain have the talent to be Top 5?

Maybe not this year, but from year 2 on he will be top 5 and a pro bowler.

That's my opinion, and I put my future on it by drafting him 1.08 in the Charter league rookie draft. Oakland is a good situation for him. I think he will score more IDP points than Morrison did.

I'm holding on to Morrison too. He looks to be the starting MLB in Jacksonville.

I like him as well. I have the #7 pick in an IDP heavy league and will definately consider him there. I'd like to trade back in the draft a little, but I'm not sure he would make it to me if I traded back to #10 or #11.

Both 11 and 12 were planning on selecting him in the Charter league.

I could definately see that at 11 or 12. The guy holding the 9 pick doesn't seem to have many needs and he has two solid LB's (Harris & Morrison), but only Foote behind them. We only start 2 LB's so he could grab McClain for depth. I'll have to feel it out as the draft gets closer.
