Rolando McClain: Crappy Tackler, Sucks at Coverage & Has Questionable Intestines

25

The folks over at Mocking the Draft are running a mock draft featuring each of the SB Nation NFL blogs. Last Thursday the Kansas City Chiefs blog Arrowhead Pride picked Rolando McClain with the No. 5 selection. And the commenters hated it. "He isnt that good and most scouts know it. He has a good head on him but he is a below average tackler and way below average speed... [KC GM Scott] Pioli isnt going to take a diseased LB with mediocore tape." - darwithabar "The guy looks slow at times. His tackling isn’t nearly solid enough for a top 10 pick (he seems to rely more on strength than technique). His effort and ability to be an elite LB has been questioned by NFL scouts. Oh, and he has an incurable, debilitating disease." - Red N Gold Beast "Just not a good pick, I don’t see Pioli doing this. He knows we need day 1 impact players, not players that may turn out to be average or slightly above average." - KC Nate
