B) Michael Johnson? Talented, sure. But he is too small for our DL, which means he'd change positions to OLB for us. Can he cover? Can he make the transition? Does he want to make the transition? Fact is, we're likely better off sticking with Kerrakpo.
Therefore, (C):
You're knocking the small Roberts signing but you're calling for big $$ to be spent to make a player change positions.
I don't get (C)

Yeah Johnson doesn't fit our defense when we're in the 3-4. In passing situations when we have a 4 man line he might. But I agree, Johnson isn't the best fit here.
