As much as I love him, I think he'd be a stretch at #6. I think he's worth about the 12th overall pick. He's not in the same class as Demarcus Ware or Shawne Merriman, but he's definately the best LB in the draft and he could develop into a Pro Bowl MLB. If we can trade down, I would love to get him. If we can't trade down, I think we'd probably get the most value from DTs Branch or Okoye.
I think the two reasons why he's no projected as a top 10 pick are: (1) he's simply average in coverage (but has the potential to be above average); (2) he's had a few injury problems (but he's willing to play through injury); and (3) he doesn't have the "measureables" (which, IMHO, are overrated) that guys like Merriman or Arrington had. I'm still a huge fan and would love to get him and another 2nd or 3rd round pick.
