    Question, if we draft DeOssie, would he play ILB or OLB for us?

    Probably OLB, he's big/fast enough. He's in the mold of Mike Vrabel from what I've heard here and a few other sites.

    Well usually the prototypical size for a 3-4 OLB is like 260+ and an ILB is 240-250, ideally. So he is really right in the middle there. He is obviously fast enough for an OLB, but he is not really a pass-rusher, which is why I think he would be better as an ILB. But I would like to here other peoples' thoughts on it, just to see what everyone thinks.

    Well, many experts think that with a pro training regiment, he'll put on 10 lbs. and hold it easily with his frame. He's more of a whole package LB than a pure pass rusher, thus the comparisons to Vrabel. If he develops and meets his full potential, he's probably good for 6-7 sacks a year and a shitton of tackles.
