Your Favorite LB's?
I have not really found any LB's I really like. It seems many LB's struggle with taking on OL in the run game. To their credit, they are asked to be faster and have more athletic ability with having to do more in pass coverage. For me personally, I love an old school thumper style LB that is average in the pass game. I haven't watched many LB's to date. But I really like Phillip Steward. He is just a good football player. Who are your favorites?

I like Sio Moore behind Jarvis and Arthur Brown as a 4-3 OLB followed by Khaseem Greene.
Dion Jordan obviously sticks out but I think Corey Lemonier will have a similar career assuming both are slotted at 3-4 OLB at the next level.
Alec Ogletree is really growing on me, I think I like him #3 overall behind Jones and Jordan.

I think Zaviar Gooden is being underrated around these boards. had a really nice Senior Bowl week and a great combine. Struggles against the run though. But tools are there.

I do like Sio Moore. In the limited video I have seen, I would say a 2nd rounder. Zavier Gooden should probably play as a WLB in the 4-3. He needs to be covered up. But his speed as a Will would be an asset. Jamie Collins would have a lot going for him if he was to to get quicker and develop closing speed.

There's only one LB in this class.
Pfft @ taking on O linemen. AB could be a sumo wrestler if he wanted.

I like Jarvis Jones. He plays the game as if it comes easy for him. Never out of control. Looks for the ball when he's ripping at the QB. A thinking man's LB. I will love to see what his times are because to me he looks slow, don't know if it's just how smooth he is. We'll find out soon.

I've been a huge fan of Ogletree since early this past season. I think his potential is off the charts.

I love him too. Think he's the best Inside Linebacker in this draft.

That's because he's kind of a phone booth two-down run stopper.

Jamie Collins needs to be acknowledged more here.

I love jarvis jones, Mingo, and jordan as 34 OLBs.
I think people sleep on chase thomas and brandon jenkins as good ones too.
I do like teo, i think as long as he doesnt go off the deep end he'll be a great player. Very overanalyzed and that has made him pretty underrated
