Rankins is a great talent, but a guy like Clark or Billings would fit both the BPA mold and also a huge team need.
Rankins is very good against the run. I have no idea where you got the idea he wasn't. Just because he isn't one dimensional and is a very good athlete doesn't mean he isn't a great run defender too.
