The Not Too Early 2018 Draft thread

Walter Football is ranking Kahlil McKenzie as a 6th rounder/UDFA. If so, he's going to be a Raider for sure.
 
Top MLBs per McShay

Inside linebacker
i

1. Azeem Victor, Washington
Grade: 83

Victor started the first 10 games last season until fracturing a bone in his tibia against USC, which kept him out the rest of the year. He's atop this list because he does everything well. He's a good tackler, has solid take-on skills and is a good athlete in coverage. He really plays his tail off. He's likely a Day 2 pick right now.

i

2. Rashaan Evans, Alabama
Grade: 71

Evans worked his way onto the field as a situational pass-rusher and special-teams standout in 2014 and 2015 before taking over as a starter in the College Football Playoff, after Shaun Dion Hamilton sustained a season-ending injury. He has a solid closing burst, flies around the field and is adequate in coverage, but he needs more game experience.

i

3. Mike McCray, Michigan
Grade: 70

His father was a captain at Ohio State, but McCray took his talents to the Maize and Blue. He's an above-average tackler who masks his average playing speed by taking good angles to the ball. He started all 13 games last season, finishing with 76 tackles, 12.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks and two interceptions (including one returned for a TD).

i

4. Jack Cichy, Wisconsin*
Grade: 69

A versatile linebacker with experience inside and outside, Cichy's 2016 season was cut short by a torn pectoral muscle in Week 7 against Iowa. He has a good feel in zone coverage and is a tough leader. He's likely a mid-round pick who can contribute immediately on special teams.

i

5. Chris Worley, Ohio State
Grade: 68


A run-and-hit linebacker, Worley is a hard worker and a tough player. He's likely a 4-3 weakside linebacker in the NFL, but needs to continue to improve his take-on skills and strength.

Making Red have to choose between a fractured tibia and a torn pec?

NOT fair! That's like forcing me to choose between Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba.

That's an irrelevant list. :rolleyes:
 
26. OAKLAND RAIDERS: MAURICE HURST, DT, MICHIGAN
Chris Wormley and Taco Charlton were the headliners for Michigan’s D-line last year; Rashan Gary will carry the torch this year. But the Wolverines (and their opponents) are well aware of how critical Hurst is inside. He’s tough to run on and gets to the QB on occasion, a must for any tackle eyeing Round 1. By next draft, Oakland may be ready to commit major resources to its interior defense.
 
We should be picking in prime position to get the best LB in the draft... unless there's some super freak top 10 type guy.
 
Reggie can't draft worth a shit unless he picks in the top 10 so what's the point of this thread?
