Is it wrong for the 4th pick to excite me more than the first 3?
LB Zak DeOssie (Brown) is an awesome pick. He should be good on specials (wedge buster) and might be our future longsnapper. And there's every reason to believe he can play linebacker in the NFL. He's 6'5", 250 lbs, and he plays fast. His dad was a linebacker (and long snapper) and played for a few teams including the Giants.
His NFL.com profile is kind of funny because it lists one of his negatives as not being able to fight through double teams. If our linebackers are getting double teamed, something is seriously wrong so that should be a non-issue. He interviews well.

So he would get double teamed on almost every play, because if they didn't he would have a good chance of fighting through his much weaker opponents to disrupt the play.
