Edge rushers are up first, followed by linebackers.

Top linebackers

Other linebackers

Other linebackers — Dylan Moses (Jr., Alabama, 6-1, 225)
Moses’ surgically repaired knee is a red flag — it required a “clean up” after the 2020 season — but there’s a lot of clay to mold with this former five-star recruit. Projected: 3rd to 5th round
Cameron McGrone (Jr., Michigan, 6-0, 234)
McGrone can shut down a wide running game on his own with his speed and explosiveness. He’s only 20 years old with two years of starting experience, but there are durability concerns. He tore the ACL in his right knee as a junior in high school (2016) and suffered a torn ACL in his left knee (2020). Projected: 3rd to 5th round
Frank Franklin II
