    I don't like that attitude, how many consistent playoff caliber teams waste mid to late picks like that?

    How often are we playoff caliber? Lol I'd love to be but let's be real. A 4th to us is as good as a first.... Doesn't mean we are going to lose out on a great player.. I hope CM is our starting MLB for the next 10 years too... But he was a calculated risk... That so far has been a great turn around.

    McCarthy had 1 serious injury in college. Other than that, he was a 4 year starter and pretty durable.

    The knock on him was his athleticism. I think everyone thought he was a great tackler and had a nose for the football. The concern was that he lacked the athleticism to make up for when his aggressive put him out of position. So far, so good...

    McCarthy runs a 4.6 40 so I don't get the lack of athleticism part. The guys might not be an edge rusher but he is plenty athletic enough to play MLB and can probably plays some strong side as well. Right now like most rookie LBs he is learning to play the pass better but IMO he has the abilkity to stay with TEs. He just needs technique and needs to learn from getting reps. He seems smart enough you won't fool him more than once.

    i really thought coming into this season that Ayers would be our star rookie on defense but he's been a disappointment while McCarthy has done very well. Ruud better not come back and start over him!

    I don't think Ayers has been a disappointment, he;s shown flashes, he's also disappeared at times. He is just a rookie though, not everyone can be McCarthy :p
