McClain has never been much in run support, and Ellerbee's never had any clue in pass coverage. Neither one of them are above average NFL LBs.
    Agree 100%
    Wish they could have moved up a few spots and taken Hightower over Upshaw. He's having a pretty respectable rookie season in NE. Belichick got us there. Ray Lewis' successor was right there and we lost him.

    Can't justify that much $$$ on interior lineman. Yanda had just got his contract. People don't realize how good we had it with Grubbs until after he's gone. I know Ray Rice misses him.
