LB Player Evals: Dynamic LB’s
As always, the player evals you see below reflect the guys from this list that I think we’ve got a shot at drafting and should be considering.

Predicting Linebacker draft slots is really difficult. Every team sees each player a little differently and scheme fit and sub package strategies will drive value differently for everyone. Great example is Sutton Smith and Ben Burr-Kirven. Both kids were really productive in college, but I see them as very…
Small-school stud from James Madison University, Jimmy Moreland, is one of the few players that is built to play only Slot CB and he’s a good one. His stock has been rising rapidly over the last few months, as he was talked about as a 5th Round guy through…
Odell Miller – Converted DE, to TE to OG at Western Michigan ran a 5.02 at his Pro Day, jumped 27.5 in vertical and did 27 bench reps. He’s 6-3 301 lbs. Need to watch some film and find some evals on him. Looks very athletic on paper. Dewayne…
While every NFL team plays some amount of zone defense, it’s not a stretch to think that we will see a lot more zone defense under Steve Wilkes than we did with Greg Williams. Wilkes uses a base 4-3, loves to stunt and blitz out of Cover 1, uses…
Normally I love my OL guys and discussing them as part of the Draft process is fun and exciting for me. This year I was hoping that we could generally skip over the OL position since we seemed to have a very successful year with our current group (after…
I will put this out there here because it’s relevant to the position, but watch for my Bold Prediction post on this same topic: James O’Hagan from the University of Buffalo is going to be one of the best Centers of this draft class. He has slightly better size…
Man there are some talented cats in this year’s class. All the guys below are super multiple in their ability to play more than one position. Nearly all are starters at rookie and have upside to improve and get stronger. Really an exciting class. I only have Cody Ford…
I am not creating evals for any of the Guards in this Draft. At this point our needs on the OL are OC and RT first, but OG and LT are a close second for depth. So I would rather spend time looking at players in these positions. I…
For this Draft there are no specific LT role players that I am evaluating. Go to my review of Dynamic exterior OL and you will find the guys that I believe the Browns should consider. This includes players who can work both sides of the line and offer appropriate…
UPDATE: POST-FREE AGENCY After adding Jaelen Strong to the roster in late February we thought that was a nice add and a player that can possibly help us. But he is not a burner nor is he an All-Pro caliber receiver. He is more reclamation project than a 4…
Imagine if we drafted AJ Brown or DK Metcalf, Jordan Ta’amu AND Dawson Knox! That’s basically the entire Offense from Ole Miss! LOL…these are the sorts of weird situations that I mull over when reviewing 300 players and narrowing it down to the guys I like for the Browns….
