Here's the type of guy John Guy (no pun intented ) should be looking at. Carolina drafted Thomas Davis in the first round and he's slotted at #2 on the SS depth chart for the Panthers, moving ahead of McCree:
Marlon McCree - SS
Carolina Panthers
Height: 5-11
Weight: 202 lbs. Age: 28
Experience: 4 years
College: Kentucky
Drafted: Year:2001 Round:7 Pick:33, Jaguars
Scouts, Inc Grade: 69
His recognition skills most often get him into good position and he does a nice job of the reading the quarterback and jumping routes in front of him. He has good ball skills, flashes a burst once he's got it and looks almost like he would be a good running back. He is very physical and does a nice job supporting the run. Is a good open field tackler when he breaks down and is a powerful hitter.
However, although McCree explodes into his tackles and will force some fumbles, he can be overaggressive and he will miss some tackles trying to deliver the kill shot rather than breaking down in the open field and wrapping up. Despite his effort, doesn't have great bulk or lower body strength, doesn't match up well inside the box and gets driven back at times.
