Spencer ran LB drills at his pro day and looked very good. Here are some other blurbs from NFLDraftScout about his ability to play OLB:
From Scott Wright:
This guy has Pro Bowl 3-4 OLB written all over him.

I'd be pleased drafting Spencer at #22, taking a CB in round 2, an o-lineman in round 3 and a WR in round 4.
Taking Spencer at #22 would allow us the flexibility to move Carp to the inside and thereby reduce the need to spend a draft pick on an ILB, which is a pretty wretched crop this year. The more I look at ILB the more I think we would be just as well off signing 3-4 as undrafted FA's and just replace Fowler with one of them.
