Rey's our MIKE linebacker.

They DID love him and maybe still do, but what makes you think that love is unconditional after a season as bad as last?

Even if he doesn't see major playing time, he'd still get time to get accustomed to the NFL and be groomed into the position.  Drafting a nose would at least give Peko a season to become less and less involved so it's not just like we're dropping him completely out of nowhere.

Solid points with valid reasoning for backing

Why not?  Drafting a guy in the first few rounds means that he has the ability to produce.

But they could be ready and upgrades over what we have now.
