I don't remember saying Rey would be "overkill" at 13, but I would say that I have more concerns with him at 13 than Cushing at 13 because I know Cushing can be a SAM. Not as sure about Rey. I like them both, but honestly neither at 13.

Gotcha, it's Cushing's natural ability at SLB while Rey may struggle in coverage. However... Rey could probably play WLB w/ success for a couple years before moving to the middle. Rocky would be SLB in this scenario and I think he'd do well.
... I'm of the opinion great defenses, most especially the 4-3 defense, need a monster at MLB. I haven't seen anything like Rey (out of college) in quite awhile and 1) we're relatively close to needing a replacement at the position 2) i have a hard time believing Rey won't be at least as good as Rocky has been at WLB in the interim
