That is exactly what I would do with Maybin if I were to draft him for the Texans. I'd also be blitzing my SAM about 50% of the time and expecting my S to cover the TE. While I may be in the minority on this, but I think Maybin has the agility and intelligence to learn the OLB position. Off the field, it's a freakin' miracle that this kid is so clean when he was surrounded by 'punks' like Maurice Evans at Penn St. He will be a better player than Cushing in my estimation because he can apply pressure in the backfield and he's more athletic than Mathews.
I guess the question I'd have to ask is, would we be willing to have Kamerion Wimbley play SAM for a 1st round pick?
