Is that the reason the Rams would go ILB is to add some sideline boost from the second level for our contain. So addressing the position with a guy who will struggle to get to the sideline and provide that defeats the purpose.
If you just want a guy who can fill between the tackles we have two mediocre options in house. Kiper is just being lazy here IMO and not fully analyzing what he's throwing out there.
Lastly they can get this guy later. For reasons of his athletic limitations. Pretty bad take by Mel.
