I don't think 4-5 sites will be calling Kevin Love soft.

I think the fact that they lie about height is stupid, who really cares? So, since i'm about 5'11, that makes me 6'1? Wow i'm a decent sized point guard huh.

That's what I've been thinking for years. Charles Barkley was actually 6'4" and Malik Rose is 6'3".

All i'm saying is that we need a full sized PF with great defense to replace O'Neal if he leaves, and Love doesn't bring that.

Love has a great built for a PF. It just works better for him offensively than defensively. He's not a bad defensive player at all, though. He can block a few shots, steal the ball on occasion, and he's not too bad defending the post. He's 19 years old and is one of the most polished big men in this draft.
If you want mainly defense, you want one of the Lopez brothers, but Brook isn't going to fall to us, and 11 is way too high for Robin. Jordan certainly has defensive potential, but he's too much of a prospect player for Larry Bird and isn't very smart on the floor. Roy Hibbert has Eric Dampier written all over him, so if that's what you want, so be it. I don't.
