... i'm not absolutely advocating Malauaga but saying if he's the very best talent left @ 13 (say all 4 1st round o tackles are gone or it comes down to Oher vs Malauaga vs Cushing) then we'd be wise to take him and let him play.

After thinking about the possibility of drafting Rey Mal. i've come around a little bit. No we don't need a MLB. We need a pash rusher/DL/Ol. Think about some of the great pash rushers in todays game...Harrison, Woodley, Shawn Merriman, etc. Some play in the 4-3 granted, but his pass rushing skills might be beneficial. I don't know...just thinking out loud. If he falls, no doubt he's a great talent. I wish we had another 1st or a 2nd pick this year, b/c we need more than 1 good player.
