I continue my Pre-Draft IDP rankings with a look at the LB’s in the draft and the depth is there so i’m going with a top 20.
RK | PLAYER | SCHOOL | QUICK HITS |
1 | ARTHUR BROWN | KANSAS ST | arguably the top LB prospect, should start right away |
2 | JARVIS JONES | UGA | medically cleared but still some concern, can’t deny potential |
3 | BARKEVIOUS MINGO | LSU | love this kids motor, will attack from edge – could move to #1 |
4 | KEVIN MINTER | LSU | instant start, not flashy but gets job done |
5 | KHASEEM GREENE | RUTGERS | more I see this kid, more I like him – hopefully right tm drafts him |
6 | ALEC OGLETREE | UGA | off-field issues concern, can’t deny the talent |
7 | ZAVIAR GOODEN | MISSOURI | could be a team’s “Sean Weatherspoon” |
8 | MANTI TE’O | NOTRE DAME | has the heart and instincts, should be starting where he lands |
9 | KIKO ALONSO | OREGON | upside and potential lands Kiko into top 10 |
10 | TRAVARDO WILLIAMS | UCONN | another edge rusher, on the right team will produce |
11 | JAMIE COLLINS | SOUTH MISS | has been on the rise, could be spot play 1st year |
12 | JON BOSTIC | FLORIDA | if he starts, will rack up a ton of tackles |
13 | SIO MOORE | UCONN | solid strength & speed, put him on your watch list |
14 | KEVIN REDDICK | UNC | under the radar MLB, he lands on a team in need – could rise in ranks |
15 | CHASE THOMAS | STANFORD | could be pass-rush specialist on team in need, spot starter atm |
16 | BRANDON JENKINS | FSU | explosive and physical – think DeMarcus Ware. |
17 | SEAN PORTER | TEXAS A&M | versatile in 3-4 or 4-3 ILB, tackles & more tackles |
18 | JELANI JENKINS | FLORIDA | sideline to sideline speed, solid OLB in 4-3 |
19 | NICO JOHNSON | ALABAMA | looks slow plays slow, maybe – solid run support, could be 2-down LB |
20 | VINCE WILLIAMS | FSU | overshadowed by a ton of talent on the FSU defense |
