If Beasley were to be paired with Keenan Robinson, they could be a top-notch ILB tandem, IMO.

I personally dont think you take a guy away from his strength, especially when that strength is at a premium in the NFL. Beasley is best at rushing the passer, which he would only do on an occasional blitz from the MLB position. Taking him from a pass rusher to someone that covers TEs comes across as a mistake to me. Seems that it would be similar to moving Trent to RT so we could say we solved the RT position.

I'm sure you're right. I'm a bit hung up on his lack of ideal size for 3-4 OLB, although that hasn't hindered Von Miller or Elvis Dumervil. His first step, speed and quickness are very impressive. Plus he had excellent production in college.

If this guy falls to us in the 2nd I would snatch him.
