In college football, LB's wearing low numbers is common. My favorite college LB, Derrick Johnson, who's now with KC, wore #11 for the Longhorns.

I like this pick. Crable is quite athletic. I had been asking Michigan Dave about this guy, asking for a comparison to Harris but I don't think I got a response, I forget. Anyways the guy also has 4.6 speed and the prototypical size the Pats like. A developmental guy, but with some upside. Nothing to complain about with this pick here.

Johnson's a fruit loop and a closet case, from what I've heard.

Nice objective analysis of a Longhorn, no doubt.

The Sportsline writeup (which is what I use -- I forget which other sites use it) portray him as a guy with a lot of correctable-sounding flaws.

They also portray as the kind of guy who's high-character about contributing however they ask him to.

You're just mad that you couldn't steal another fine Texas athlete.

Care to give details?

Here's 28!!! Seriously, I was psyched when they drafted him. More options at LB is a very, very good thing.

I suspect there is a lot less to "gripe" about with a tall, athletic OLB/Pass Rusher who only struggles in coverage and could stand to pack on 15lbs...not much controversy=not much conversation, I'd take that to mean most of us love the pick!
