Dynasty selection

I highly regard your opinion, Guru. How would you ranks these 6 linebackers in a tackle heavy dynasty league (1pt tack/1pt ass. tack)

Jamar Chaney/Casey Matthews
Brian Cushing
David Hawthorne
Derrick Johnson
Rolando McClain
Daryl Washington

I would rank them in the following order:

1) Hawthorne
2) Johnson
3) Washington
4) McClain
5) Cushing
6) Chaney/Matthews

Now that Tatupu has been cut, Hawthorne has definite top 10 potential if he plays every down. Johnson should his top 15 ability last season. The Cardinals really like Daryl Washington and they seem to be grooming him for  Lawrence Timmons-type role. I've not given up on McClain. He showed signs of improvement towards the latter half of last year and is in a good position to be a low-end LB1. Cushing's value takes a bit of a hit moving to a 3-4. Chaney/Matthews situation is quite of muddled at this point and Philadelphia doesn't receive a ton of tackle opportunity.

Hope this helps!

Thanks. It helped a lot. I just made a trade Chaney straight up for Hawthorne.

That's an awesome trade. Absolute steal.
