Here are another sites prospects for LB’s

Linebackers

1. Malik Jefferson, Texas (Junior)

– Jefferson still has to show he can consistently stack and shed blocks, but nonetheless, he is still an unreal talent. With his freakish athleticism and sideline-to-sideline range, Jefferson is always around the ball making plays happen. Whether it is in coverage or run support, Jefferson’s athletic tools allow him to be in position on almost every play. His instincts are underdeveloped at this point, but as he continues to learn and develop, there is no telling how good this kid could be. He gets the slight edge over Cameron Smith because of his ceiling despite projecting as a WILL, as opposed to Smith projecting as a MIKE.

2. Cameron Smith, USC (Junior)

– The best pure linebacker in college football is Cameron Smith, period. His instincts and awareness are unparalleled at the linebacker position, as he sees plays happen before the ball is actually snapped. For Smith, the game just comes easy to him, and I think he will adjust to the next level seamlessly in terms of processing. Some question Smith’s “limited” range, but I’ve seen him make plays all over the field. Some team is going to get their next defensive captain with this guy.

3. Jerome Baker, Ohio State (Junior)

– While not the athlete Malik Jefferson is, Jerome Baker is a force to be reckoned with in zone coverage. He is smart and rangy, able to make up ground and close on ball carriers in a pinch. He also needs to get stronger in order to improve against contact, but the NFL is going to value him as a WILL and try to keep him as free as possible, highlighting his strengths.

4. Roquan Smith, Georgia (Junior)

– Roquan Smith has made quite the statement so far in 2017, dominating in nearly every game as a superb off-ball linebacker for the Bulldogs. Some are calling him the next Deion Jones with his lack of size, but excellent mobility for the position to close and cover. If he continues to make plays at his current rate this season, there is reason to believe he will fly up draft boards.

5. Shaun Dion Hamilton, Alabama (Senior)

– While overshadowed by first-round inside linebacker Reuben Foster in 2016, Shaun Dion Hamilton is the next Crimson Tide linebacker that NFL scouts are going to value highly. His instincts and power are more developed than some of the names on this list, but he is not quite the athlete of Jefferson or Baker.

The next three prospects: Josey Jewell, Azeem Victor, Tegray Scales
