Mickster- I saw that, but I still think it is a bad pick. Linebacker is a very different position from End. He is going to have to learn how to cover pass routes and that won't happen overnight. If you wanted a linebacker, why not take one like Thomas Howard? Or better yet, with Will P's health a huge question mark how about a corner? I just think there were bigger holes to fill. Now watch the guy become an All-Pro

Peter, if you read what Acorsi & Coughlin are saying, Kiwanuka will probably be used as an OLB rather than a DE. They will use him to fill that gap in the D. This makes sense with his size and planned weight (he's at 265 and they are going to get him up to 275 to start the season). With his big arms, fast speed and good head, he'll make an excellent compliment to Pierce in the middle and Arrington on the outside. You can expect him to knock a few balls down and get some Interceptions at that position.
