Austin and San Antonio are off the table due to Jerry Jones. St. Louis and San Diego won’t ever pay for a team. Las Vegas just got a team and Oakland isn’t a good city to have an NFL team.

I guess Mexico City would be the only one that comes to mind, but I don’t know how taxes would work since they’d be in another country.

What city would even want or have the capability of paying for a new stadium for the Chiefs to move?

Shout out to the (underrated?) ringer nfl draft show pod. I don’t play fantasy football and don’t listen to their fantasy pods but love listening to these guys leading up to the nfl draft. They have great chemistry. Sneaky top 3 ringer pod in my opinion

Ladd McConkey, wide receiver, Georgia.

After starting our positional draft rankings series with the running backs a couple of days ago, we look at the guys lining up across from them in the linebackers. Once again, I’ll be going through my top ten along with a couple of names that just missed the cut, discussing individual skill-sets, bringing up relevant measurables and statistics, potential scheme fits and how I personally value them as prospects.

Similarly to the running backs, this group lacks real top-end talent, most likely with no linebacker going in the first round, but it’s a fairly deep class with a good ten names who could be long-term starters in the NFL along with some guys who present intriguing skill-sets to be developed and/or fit in a specific role. Since it’s a relevant topic right off the bat here, let me remind you that I don’t have any access to medical reports or personal backgrounds beyond what’s freely available (which the NCAA doesn’t make a whole lot public). So my evaluations are all based on what the tape tells me, without being able to fully judge ancillary factors.

This is what my list looks like:

.

.

.

1. Payton Wilson, N.C. State

6’4”, 235 pounds; RS SR

.

A former standout lacrosse player and state champion wrestler, Wilson was a top-100 overall recruit in the 2018 class and immediately led the team in total tackles his first year of action (2019). He suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the second game of 2021, but he’s been a consistent contributor throughout his time with the Wolfpack, combining for 264 total tackles, 30.5 of those for loss, 9.5 sacks, four passes intercepted and seven more broken up, across 34 career games (first-team All-ACC in 2020). This past season however is when he received national recognition, being named ACC Defensive Player of the Year, a unanimous All-American, winning the Dick Butkus and Chuck Bednarik awards.

.

+ Oldschool linebacker with new-school athletic traits, who plays with his hair on fire at all times

+ Patiently shuffles along as he tracks the back in the zone run game and understands when it’s time to flip and go parallel to the line of scrimmage, in order to meet that guy at the point where he’ll cut upfield

+ Yet his ability to stop that momentum and fall back a gap as he sees backs cut up on wide zone also leads to early stops when it initially looks like there’ll be a lane

+ Yet he’s quickly to get into a downhill shuffle and accelerate into a puller when offenses run at him, in order to create traffic in the backfield

+ Has a knack for sorting through the trash and getting to the ball ultimately – finished second in the FBS last season with 67 run stuffs, according to PFF

+ Uses his hands pro-actively to punch off and swipe away linemen trying to latch inside his frame on the move

+ You like his profile as somebody who can drop down to the end of the line of scrimmage and set a physical edge against tight-ends in certain fronts

+ Takes great angles out towards the sideline, in order to avoid explosive plays for the offense

.

+ Regularly was deployed as a hybrid outside linebacker – particularly on the weak-side – where he dropped out into the flats and muddied reads for the quarterback

+ Easy wheels to match the back converting to a secondary route, after flaring out his way initially

+ Fully capable of taking man-responsibilities against RBs and TEs, along with following them out to the slot

+ The amount of tackles he gets involved in when plays are designed away from him become too many to note almost, to where you see him chase quarterbacks on bootlegs away from him for like five-yard gains

+ Brings that absolutely insane hustle, where you see a play develop for a long time and all of a sudden the guy with the ball gets run down by #11 seemingly out of nowhere

+ Earned an elite coverage grade (90.4) from Pro Football Focus

+ Really dropped down his missed-tackle rate in 2022 (8.4%), when he missed just six of 72 attempts – that got even better this past season, when he missed just six of 129 total attempts (4.7%)

.

+ You see him reduce the near-shoulder and work tightly around blockers quite a bit as a blitzer

+ Has more suddenness than you see from most off-ball guys, being able to threaten one way and cross-face blockers in impressive fashion, paired with a well-timed swipe-down

+ Realizes opportunities to convert into blitzes, as he sees the offense set up play-action with him being responsible for the back, as well as swatting down away the hands of tight-ends staying in protection and getting around the corner

+ Racked up 29 total pressures across just 132 pass-rush snaps in 2022 and was close to that production last season (22 on 151 opportunities)

+ Does a great job of recognizing opportunities to get his hands up and either knock down passes or affect the throwing lane for quarterbacks

+ Earned an 84.1 PFF grade when aligned on the line of scrimmage

+ Ran the fastest 40 of any front-seven defenders at this year’s combine (4.43) at 233 pounds, looked great changing directions without any delay despite that longer build and caught the ball well despite not wearing gloves

.

- The big issue with Wilson of course is his extensive injury history, with two torn ACLs and a season-ending shoulder surgery across five years in Raleigh

- More of a lean, narrow frame and when blockers do catch him on an angle, he has issues trying to hold his ground and gets ridden off track (significantly)

- Struggles to keep his frame clean and maintain vision on the ball-carrier when he has to deal with blockers leading up into the hole

- Playing fairly tall in coverage hinders Wilson’s ability to change direction as a zone defender – looked improved during his positional workout at the combine

- Drifts too deep at times and allows easy yardage underneath, as a flat-dropper in particular

.

Readers through the years will know that I can’t truly take medical reports into account for my grading since I don’t have the necessary information. At this point, it’s possible that Wilson will end up being the first linebacker off the board or not get a called until some time on day. With that being said, from everything I’ve heard coming out of the combine, NFL teams seem to believe his injuries are behind him and while they will reflect on his place along big boards, his tape screams LB1. Not that there aren’t any issues, considering some of the issues winning the leverage battle and optimizing what he can do in coverage with that lanky build, along with arguably not having a defined position yet, but his athletic tools, football IQ and passion should allow him to be a valuable asset for any style of defensive front. He finished top-three among all FBS linebackers in both run stop percentage (16.3%) and coverage stops (20), according to Pro Football Focus, while have an extensive and productive sample size rushing the passer from different angles. If he can find long-term health, he has stat-sheet filling Pro Bowl potential, particularly with a creative play-caller who’ll tap into his versatility.

2. Edgerrin Cooper, Texas A&M

6’2”, 230 pounds; RS JR

.

A four-star recruit in 2020, Cooper played in all ten games, primarily on special teams as a true freshman and used the COVID exception to mark it as a redshirt, before taking on a more prominent role as a rotational player on defense, starting one of 12 games (58 tackles, 5.5 for loss, one INT and PBU each). He became a full-time starter in 2022, when he racked up 61 total stops, eight for loss, five PBUs and one fumble forced, recovered and interception each. This past year, he recorded career-highs in total stops (84), TFLs (17), sacks (eight) and forced fumbles (two), along with a couple of PBUs, earning first-team All-American accolades.

.

+ Generally patient with tracking the ball in the backfield, but then quickly fills the gap when he sees the guy commit

+ Almost like a running back, he can shoot through tight creases on wide zone concepts and affect the running back trying to string out plays

+ Has plenty of short-area juice scrape over the top of blocks and defeat guys to a spot as they try to pin him away from the action

+ Packs impressive suddenness and flexibility to dip underneath/bend around blockers on longer-developing run concepts and hawk down the ball-carrier behind a pulling lineman

+ Regularly is able to free himself in traffic and get the initial wrap on the ball-carrier

+ Presents a massive tackling radius with his length (34-inch arms) and flexibility, where it looks like a ball-carrier gets by him, but he trips that guy up or clutches a leg and the rest of the cavalry can arrive there

+ Showcases tremendous closing speed out to the edges

+ There are several nice lasso-tackles on tape, to pull guys backwards and not allow them to get to the first-down marker

.

+ You like his presence as a Tampa-2 dropper, with his ability to gain depth and the 34-inch arms to get a hand on balls thrown over his head

+ Seems to have no issues running the pole with tight-ends or matching them on crossers

+ You see the easy gas to turn and run with guys like former Alabama star RB Jahmyr Gibbs (who runs in the mid-4.3s) down the sideline on wheel routes

+ Cooper’s ability to change directions and cover ground after stepping up with the run-fake on play-actions really stands out

+ Packs the quick burst to erase the space to running backs releasing through the line and breaking either way or they have the advantage based on alignment on a swing/flat route

+ Rapidly shuts down YAC opportunities for guys out in the flats after dropping into the hook-area

+ Has a way of avoiding or fighting over crack-blocks and guys trying to wall him off in the screen game

+ You see him line up on the edge and run down bubbles and tunnel screens to wide receivers at times

.

+ Was involved in A&M’s rush package quite a bit, where you saw on cross-blitzes, delayed loops and even straight-up coming off the edge

+ His ability to kind of get around traffic and bend his way towards the passer pops

+ Insane closing burst when the gap opens up and he can get a hit on the quarterback

+ Light on his feet to be an effective spy and mirror the quarterback’s movement – you see him shut those guys down when they scramble or just barreling down on them off bootlegs in the blink of an eye

+ Had an insane play against Texas A&M this past season, diagnosing a screen to the back, evading a couple of linemen and making the tackle before it could get going at all

+ Was tied for the highest overall PFF grade among all FBS linebackers last season (90.8), in part due to recording a pressure on every third pass-rush snap (27 on 83 opportunities)

.

- Too often allows offensive linemen to get into his frame and has to work on using his arms to keep them at bay

- Can get a little unreliable with his run fits, where he overstrides the ball on zone schemes or attacks a puller straight-up instead of maintaining leverage inside and allows the back to cut behind him

- Not the most instinctive zone-dropper and gets caught more so just covering grass too frequently, instead of finding work

- Allows quarterbacks to move him or at least turn him the wrong way with their eyes

- Could do a better job of coming to balance as a tackler in open-field situations – missed double-digit tackles in each of the past three seasons

.

No linebackers in this class presents higher potential than Edge Cooper. He has the combination of length, explosiveness, quick twitch and long speed to fit any scheme, although you’d prefer to keep him clean and not make him deal with linemen climbing up to him. He definitely needs to work on not being as overaggressive with wanting to the ball to a spot, particularly because he has the rapid burst to make up for being a tick slow. However, if he can work on his block deconstruction, maximizing his 34-inch arms, and continue to develop his sense for space as a zone defender, being able to play at full speed could make him a menace from sideline to sideline, while already being a weapon as part of your rush. So I could see him struggle early on and have issues growing as a young player if coaches put too much on his plate, but if allowed to be more of a run-and-chase specialist instead of allowing offensive play-callers to make his head spin, paired with a more reliable presence next to him – similarly to what we saw in the career arc of Patrick Queen in Baltimore once they traded for Roquan Smith – he could turn himself into a true impact player, definitely worth of a top-50 selection.

.

.

.

3. Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Clemson

6’0”, 230 pounds; JR

.

The Son of former Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Sr., Junior was a top-50 overall recruit in the nation in 2021, who only played 59 snaps on defense plus another 58 on punt/kick coverage as a true freshman, but still recorded 22(!) tackles. Starting all 14 games and then 12 the following two seasons, he put together nearly identical statistics, combining for 177 total tackles, 28.5 of those for loss, 12 sacks, three forced fumbles, ten passes broken up and four interceptions, with two of those returned for touchdowns. He was named second-team All-American and first-team All-ACC in both of those.

.

+ Instinctive run-defender between the tackles with advanced knowledge for reading his keys and instantly reacting to them

+ Seems to have a great beat on what offenses have called up based on pre-snap tells

+ Finds the right balance between covering ground laterally but not overrunning zone concepts, being able to fall back a gap as the RB commits

+ Pro-active with punching and releasing from blocks, with plenty of shock in his hands, yet will also launch his pads into one half of lead-blockers in order to minimize the extra gap offenses are trying to create

+ Regularly is able to fight across the face of linemen or squeeze through creases, where most guys at his position would be walled off, ripping through the play-side shoulder and creating an angle towards the ball for himself

+ Quickly IDs pin-and-pull plus and will blow through the outside shoulder of guys trying to get out to the corner, in order to funnel the ball back inside to his teammates

+ Wraps and drives as a good form-tackler when he collides with ball-carriers in the hole

+ You rarely see backs squirt through or churn out any additional yardage when Trotter gets involved in stops around the line of scrimmage

.

+ Active communicator in zone coverage, who has that awareness for targets in his vicinity that makes you think he has eyes at the back of his head of extended peripheral vision

+ Regularly floats underneath tight-ends in the hook-/seam-area and at least disrupts the catch-point – had a pick-six on a stick route vs. Notre Dame that way last season

+ Tracks the eyes of the quarterback and redirects forward once that guy starts scrambling to great effect

+ There’s zero delay from the ball leaving the quarterback’s hand and Trotter starting to pursue the intended target

+ Chooses excellent angles in order to not be outflanked by running backs out into the flats

+ Recognizes RPOs and how offenses want to affect the defense on play-action, getting his hands up in the passing lane after taking the initial steps up in his run read

+ Regularly makes sure to halt any yards after catch as he joins in on the tackle off underneath completions, at times banging dudes to the ground by emphatically lowering the shoulder on them

+ Held opposing quarterbacks to a passer rating of just 44.5 in 2022 and was charged with just one touchdown in coverage compared to four interceptions over the past two seasons

.

+ Was the only Power Five linebacker with a 80+ PFF grade in coverage and rushing the passer in 2022 – nearly repeated that last season

+ Packs the force to run through the back in protection if he has a head of steam

+ Savvy blitzer who can make over-aggressive protectors whiff, by knocking away their hands as they lunge for him, particularly sliding inside of them if they slightly overset

+ Valuable piece to your rush, whether you ask him to spike inside one shoulder of linemen to create displacement and free up his teammates or stick his foot in the ground or loop around the edge

+ Understands escape angles and is able to corral scrambling quarterbacks as a spy or add-on rusher, forcing them redirect and run themselves into fellow defenders

+ Recorded 27 pressures on 105 pass-rush snaps this past year

+ You’re just not going to have any success throwing screens to the back when Trotter is matched up with, instantly trigger on them and beating linemen to the spot before they can even locate him at times

.

- It might be playing next to Barrett Carter being a bolt of lightning, but Trotter’s speed out to the corner against outside runs is fairly average

- Too often is just a step late to the ball, where other linebackers who make the same read would collect a PBU

- Probably a limited player when it comes to being able to match up with any legit receiving threats for extended stretches – only spent 59 of 1431 career snaps outside the box

- Missed a career-high 16.3% of his attempted tackles last season (15 of 92 tries), where his 31.5-inch arms limit his ability to wrap up ball-carriers on an angle

.

The NFL bloodlines are apparent when you watch Trotter Jr. play, whether it’s his how he keys run concepts, the instincts as a zone-defender or how he gets through/around backs in protection. Unfortunately he did come in shorter and lighter than I expected at the combine, which makes you question if he can deal quite as well with blockers at the next level, to go along with probably not looking like a great for a defensive scheme that asks him to following pass-catchers out into the slot and play man-coverage. So he’s not going to win any beauty contests and make many splashy plays thanks to his athletic tools, but he’ll get to his spots on time based on his understanding for play development and he packs a punch when he arrives there. A player he reminds me of – and someone I outlined as an undrafted free agent who would make an impact pretty early – is T.J. Edwards, who may also have some limitations but has been a rock-solid player for both the Eagles and Bears these last three years. If you understand what you can put on his plate, I’m fine with Trotter anywhere in the second round.

.

.

.

4. Junior Colson, Michigan

6’2”, 235 pounds; JR

.

Just outside the top-100 overall prospects in the class of 2021, Colson already started half of the 14 games for Michigan as a true freshman and racked up 61 tackles for a CFP team. In 2022 he put up 101 tackles, six for loss and a couple of sacks (only one PBU, after two as a freshman). His numbers were down just a little bit last year (95 tackles, two for loss, zero sacks and two PBUs), but he was still recognized as a second-team All-Big Ten selection.

.

+ Has the short-area burst to shoot through lanes and create chaos in the backfield

+ Plays with his hair on fire all the time and won’t be stopped by blockers wrapping around/peeling off to get a piece of him

+ Showcases tremendous contact balance and sturdiness to hold his ground in those tight quarters defending the run

+ When he can’t get all the way over to the gap, he’ll make sure to squeeze blockers into the action and take away escape paths for the ball-carrier

+ Trusts himself to take in a lot of information, such as slow-playing RPOs or when he’s on the trips side and the play is still developing, to still fill against the run

+ Ferocious tackler, who wraps and slings ball-carriers down with an attitude

+ Even if he’s engaged with blockers and has no space to explode into contact, you rarely see ball-carriers be able to drive through contact with him and force him into legit drag-tackles

+ Missed just 6.7% of his attempted tackles in 2022 and dropped that down even further to a 4.7% miss rate last season (90.2 PFF tackling grade)

.

+ You see him send some receivers airborne trying to push up the seams as a hook defender

+ Does a nice job of floating out to hook/stick routes and even as he drifts out towards a target and that guy works across his face, Colson is typically able to deny them clean separation

+ Patient in man-coverage against RBs and letting them show him where he’s gone instead of prematurely tilting one way

+ Has some impressive reps of being mugged up and not allowing swing/flat routes to outflank him

+ Sturdy to deal with tight-ends pushing at him and not allow them to push off on him, in order to create separation

+ Michigan used a lot of simulated pressures and had Colson in different spots at the line, where he needed to drop out and find work, in order to flood the underneath areas

+ Comes to balance and you don’t see pass-catchers be able to gain yards through him typically, with great stopping power

+ Was responsible for only 185 receiving yards and one touchdown across 36 targets and 342 coverage snaps last season

.

+ Rugged blitzer, who will go through the chest of running backs and force quarterbacks to move off the spot when he arrives there

+ Showcases impressive closing burst as a blitzer and lights up passers when unaccounted for in protection

+ Can effectively flatten down the line and chase down plays from behind when brought off the edge, when they slant the end inside

+ Will gladly unload into interior linemen in order to free up his fellow linebackers on cross-dog blitzes

+ Whether as a hook-defender or true spy, Colson’s ability to track the quarterback’s movement and his secure tackling skills are a definite asset

.

- Can get pulled too far out of place by eye-candy and can’t take care of his run fit as a result

- Seems a bit stiff in his ankles at times when breaking down/redirecting as a tackler or trying to create leverage as he’s about to initiate contact with blockers

- Lacks some lateral explosion to scrape over the top of blocks and gets pinned away from action on the backside as a result

- Not the easiest mover in coverage either, where he can’t redirect smoothly and make up ground

- Doesn’t have the wheels when offenses are able to clear out one side, to open and chase down receivers running drag routes underneath him

.

While not quite as advanced in the way he reads the game as Clemson’s Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Colson brings a lot of the same qualities while packing a little more thump in tight areas I would say. He’s more susceptible to being pulled off his landmarks by false information from the offense and there’s some tightness in his redirection, but he actually deals better with head-on contact. As a coverage defender, he’s sturdy to deal with tight-ends running into him but also dictating terms to receivers trying to clear his area, plus then he’s become an elite tackler, with a miss rate of below five percent last season. Once again, you want him to operate in a somewhat limited area for those shortcomings not to come to light, but he can be an asset lining up at line of scrimmage and either condensing the pocket or muddying up looks when he can drop out to a spot in more of a straight line. The ceiling may be somewhat capped, but I have a tough time seeing him not find a role at the next level, best suited as a stack-backer for an odd-front team in the middle to late second round.

.

.

5. Cedric Gray, North Carolina

6’2”, 230 pounds; SR

.

A three-star recruit in 2020, Gray played all 12 games as a linebacker and on special teams as a freshman, but only logged three tackles. He started the latter 37 of 39 games he’s been available for the following three seasons, combining for 365 tackles, 29 of those for loss, 8.5 sacks, tive fumbles forced and recovered each, five passes intercepted and 13 more broken up. He made first-team All-ACC in in 2022 and ’23 respectively.

.

+ Aggressive, gap-shooting run-defender, who trusts what his eyes tell him

+ Made first contact on a ball carrier 122 times in 2022, which was 15 more than the next-closest defender in college football – the best single-season mark by a Power-5 player in the PFF College era

+ His short-area burst to be leveraged towards on side of blocks and then get to the opposite end as he sees the ball-carrier commit that way is eye-popping

+ Capable of circling around or back-dooring linemen in a hurry, with the flexibility to wrap and sling running backs to the turf on challenging angles

+ North Carolina asked their defensive ends to wrong-shoulder kick-out blockers, so Gray rapidly shot down to meet the secondary puller in the backfield and force a quick cut up the field where his buddies were in place

+ Offers the speed profile the NFL is looking for, in terms of tracking down plays sideline-to-sideline

+ Regularly ends up shoving ball-carriers out of bounds for minimal yardage on perimeter-oriented plays

+ Has those long arms (32.5 inches) to chop down ball-carriers from behind way more often than you think he could

.

+ Light on his feet to float around as a zone-defenders

+ Widens his drops under good control as he follows the quarterback’s eyes

+ Provides tremendous make-up burst to disrupt the catch-point against seam routes or crossers off play-action after stepping up vs. the run-fake initially

+ Does not wait back against hook or curl routes in his vicinity, actively working back down along with the target, to contest the catch

+ Makes some highly impressive plays when matched one-on-one with the back and securing tackles out in the flats or on screens, where he has to avoid traffic

+ Doesn’t look uncomfortable flipping and running with wheel routes, with the speed to stay even down the sideline

+ Was responsible for less than five yards per target in coverage last season (245 yards on 49 targets), with one touchdown and interception each to his name

.

+ Understands very well how to rush from different angles and turn his shoulders from multiple potential points of contact in order to not get slowed down a whole lot

+ Brings plenty of force as a blitzer, to fight through the reach of offensive linemen and flash up the passer’s face

+ You see relentless leg-drive to power/squirt through the crease between blockers and create pressure

+ Features a nice combination of wiggle-to/and-power, already flashing some impressive cross-face moves against running backs

+ Offers an intriguing profile as a pressure player as he develops his hand-combats with the long arms and quicks he brings to the table

+ You see Gray bounce off bodies when used as a rusher and be able to chase after quarterbacks with his quick burst to shut them down on scrambles

.

- Needs to do a better job of releasing after punching as he deals with linemen in the run game, as you see backs squeeze through holes much more often than you’d like to

- Will allow running backs to drive forward through him around the line of scrimmage and there are too many drag-tackles on Gray’s tape

- Playing a little tall and sort of bounding rather than stepping/shuffling in zone coverage limits Gray’s ability to get his cleats into the turf and redirect as he processes new information

- Missed at least 17 tackles in all three seasons as a starter (13.5% career miss rate)

.

Gray was one of the more fun linebackers to watch, because everything he does is fast. You always have isolate how much players gamble or allowed be the scheme to that aggressive style of player, but based on what he put on tape, it was always based on IDing and attacking keys in the run game while his missed tackles often time happen because he’s shooting a crease instead of waiting behind blockers and not getting a clean wrap up ball-carriers, but at least slows them down and allows the rest of the defense to converge. He’ll need to clean up his footwork and ability to change directions in a more compact fashion in coverage, but he has the potential to be a valuable asset covering ground in zone, a matchup player against backs and tight-ends as well as a dangerous pass-rusher, with his ability to blitz from different angles and win with quickness or power. He should be a lock for the top-100 and an intriguing target for a defensive coordinator willing to use him as a forward player – at least early on in his career.
