Now, if we traded down and took him with the idea of playing him on passing downs until he added a little bulk and grew into the game, I'd be fine with that. I just don't want to see him at LB. And, I don't think the team would have any interest in doing that.

I would say listening to Rick Smith we are looking at an OLB in the 1st, and other than Cushing and Matthews there are not any true OLB slotted at 15. There are a lot of hybrids and I felt Smith thought a hybrid to play OLB was a possibility.
As you know it's a slow time of year and all we can do is read between the lines.
