Why draft a Player with HUGE pass rushing skills and use him as a cover LB... why not draft a LB then.
You forget that when he blitzes from the linebacker position, he likely will have a running back or tight end blocking him, which is a huge advantage for Rak. In this Rak's scenario is much like another rusher who also sometimes plays in coverage who you may have heard of: DeMarcus Ware.
