I looked for guys that can rush the passer, take on blocks in the run game and drop into coverage.
D1 - Brandon Graham – Dominating pass rusher. Hard to know if he'll be able to play coverage, but there's a really good chance he rushes the passer well and plays the run well for an OLB.
D2 - Sergio Kindle - Edit: added Kindle late. He's a dangerous pass rusher, good against the run and has shown the ability to play the pass.
D2 - Jerry Hughes - Competition level was lower, but Hughes made a lot of his hay the tough way, beating OT's. Unlike AJ Hawk a few years ago, every one of Hughes sacks, he had to beat the guy in front of him.
D2/3 - Koa Misi – Most complete OLB prospect in this draft. He's explosive, good size, hard working, good in pass defense, shows good pass rush, should be good for a LB against the run, although will need some technique work like most young players.
D6 - Obrien Schofield – With the injury and lack of experience defending the pass, Schofield is a bit of a project, but a worthwhile one. He's definitely worth a late pick on his pass rush potential alone.
D6 - Adrian Tracy – A great small school defensive end, Tracy racked up sacks and all conference honors. He played linebacker at the Texas -vs- Nation game and looked solid doing it. Seems like a prospect well worth a late round flyer.
