I don't see enough in Kendricks' play to suggest he should be a 1st round pick. Because of positional scarcity, I could see him going in the 2nd round, but he is not one of the top 50 players in the draft. I'd feel good taking him sometime in round 3.

Doesn't Levy play OLB in their 4-3? Or did he move?

[Striker]

He plays OLB.

[smuggler]

He'd play inside with a 3-4 team, tho.
