He was by far considered the safest pick in the draft that year...
and If Minnesota has this great front 4, they sure aren't showing it at all.
It'd be nice to bring in a guy like him. He's a name, but its not worth it.
There are character issues, and he's really not that talented. He's slow and never did I see a game changer out of this guy.
I'm more comfortable right now developing Audie Cole and seeing what he can do, because I see him being a reliable backup, and McClain just kind of being a body out there.
If we want to make some real noise at MLB, look for Te'O, Ogletree or Arthur Brown?

Ogletree is far superior than Te'o and Brown. Te'o has peaked out, Ogletree has a ton of potential, but I don't want a LB in the 1st round. |

| McClain is a horrible fit for this defense and is a huge downgrade from Jasper Brinkley. Pass. |
