Maybe 2nd or 3rd if it's BPA. But I just don't see a 4-3 OLB having top half of the first round impact.

I'm ready to make Adibi a back up and ST player. He simply does not have the top end speed that I want at this level.

I'm not wanting to get an OLB with our first round pick either. It really depends upon who is available. My list of positions for a first round pick looks something like this....

LT
DE
CB
FS
WR
OLB
QB
DT
RB

Of course you have to look at team needs and the players who are on the board when you pick.

Just because I value DE more than CB doesn't mean that I'll be happy to draft Greg Hardy over Malcolm Jenkins.
