Welcome to draft season! This is the third of 11 positional breakdowns leading up to the NFL Draft (April 23-25). Here are my top 10 linebackers:
1. Isaiah Simmons (Jr., Clemson, 6-foot-4, 233 pounds)
Simmons is a Swiss Army knife if it could also grant three wishes. Versatile doesn’t come close to describing his capabilities. He could be the antidote to the next generation of zone-read quarterbacks. Projected: Top 10
2. Patrick Queen (Jr., LSU, 6-0, 229)
One-year starter who plays fast, physical and makes plays sideline-to-sideline. Projected: 1st round
3.
