The MUCH bigger need was a pass rusher or ILB, both of which were available when we picked.
Here's the problem: If McCLuster was higher on our board than Koa Misi and Dary Washington, then we have a bigger problem.
They both fit a bigger need and would have fit the BPA.
I've been waiting for over a week for someone to find me one reputable analyst that had McCluster as a Top 40 prospect.
So don't act like we didn't reach. We did. For a position that Pioli felt was more important than the two biggest weaknesses on the defense.
