I think there is an LB that will be a special player potentially.
My choice would be to trade down to about 10-15 pick up a 2009 1st, 2008 2nd and 4th. And pick
Auburn DE/OLB Quintin Groves. He plays multiple positions which BB loves and this guy reminds me of an Adalius Thomas clone.
I'm not big on Laurinatius (sp?) because like many OSU LB'S I think this guy is not as versatile as Groves nor as fast.

11/27/07 - DE Quentin Groves has three sacks, seven tackles for loss, 35 tackles, 23 quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles this season despite missing two games and playing a limited role in two others because of three dislocated toes. He's seen more playing time at outside linebacker throughout the season and played there more than usual late in the season as Auburn looked for more ways to get Groves and DE Antonio Coleman on the field at the same time. He did come back to play an active role against Alabama with three tackles and three quarterback hurries.
11/24/07 - DE Quentin Groves has three sacks, seven tackles for loss, 32 tackles, 20 quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles this season despite missing two games and playing a limited role in two others because of three dislocated toes. He's seen more playing time at outside linebacker throughout the season and played there more than usual in the past two games as Auburn looks for more ways to get Groves and DE Antonio Coleman on the field at the same time. The results were mixed at best, with Groves struggling against both the pass and the run, so he's more likely be back in a more hybrid end/linebacker role this week.
