Just Yining to your Yang (haha)...
What if that's an LB? Part of the reason a lot of folks have us mocked to take a defensive player here is because there's a lot of talent at LB/DL in this draft. If you're looking at strictly BPA, there's a good chance it will be one of those positions.
That aside, I think I'm not sure I want to go into next season with the LB group we've got, and trying to convert a player from any position to another is always a gamble. Guys do it, and there are some guys who have had great careers in the NFL at different spots than what they played in college. I'd just feel a lot more comfortable not taking that kind of gamble with a position we need that much. And not one so high. If we're picking to fill a spot in the second, take someone likely to contribute next season, and wait on gambles until the third or later. Hell, we've got the entire sixth round this year, take all those guys and try them out as tackles and LBs and see what sticks.
