I have been asked since I released my prospect list and 15 bonus prospects list, where are the linebackers. My answer is look at the safeties and defensive linemen on the list that are hybrids. They will take on the duties of linebacker if drafted or acquired in the UDFA period. I do not see the position as big of a need as others. In fact I think a practice squad - emergency quarterback is more important to the team then linebacker help as at one point all the team had was Zappe.

Also every year I find one player that catches my eye. This year that prospect was not invited to the combine, pay attention to David Durden x-receiver from West Florida. He is my sleeper or draft diamond this season. And pay attention to Will Rogers from Mississippi State as a potential day three - undrafted free agent. Rogers is strongly comparable to the two quarterbacks listed above and his NFL comp is Mac Jones.
