If you've been following the 2010 NFL Draft, then you know that the New York Giants need a linebacker. Don't believe me? Check

The good news is that there is a
deep and strong talent pool at the linebacker position this year.
The consensus is that Alabama's Rolando McClain is the best linebacker available. Just look at his numbers. He's 6'4" and 256 lbs yet he runs the 40 in 4.65 seconds. Nobody else ran a faster time at his size. He was a 3-year starter at Alabama and in his final season, he had
105 tackles with 14.5 tackles for a loss. (It sure would be nice if the Giants had a linebacker who can tackle!) He also had 4 sacks, 14 QB hurries, 2 interceptions, 3 deflections, and 1 fumble recovery. Oh yeah...he also helped the Crimson Tide with the "national championship."
But some people have suggested that the
Giants might be concerned about his health after he announced that he has
Crohn's Disease, which seems to run in his family since his mother is also afflicted.
That's hogwash. Here are three reasons why the Giants should not worry about drafting Rolando McClain.
