Time to play Devil's Advocate.

People are getting way too excited about McCune. Every report I have read about him suggests that although he is a great physical specimen he isn't a natural football player and the NFL scrapheap is full of guys like that. His performance at the combine is always getting rave reviews, saying how much bigger, stronger and faster he looked compared to the other guys there, but as he was 3 or 4 years older than everybody else it would have been surprising if he didn't stand out. Right now I put him at the bottom of our LB depth chart and personally I expect him to stay there.
