I can get behind those rankings - Watching the Badgers play all season Watt was on the outside all the time, so seeing him ranked as an inside LB would be a little surprising

Is this ILB as in non-pass rusher, or do you expect all of these guys to actually be on the inside in a 4-3 or 3-4. I think there are a few that could end up on the outside, even in a 4-3.

Reddick has grown on me as a player. His versatility should make him a 3-down player that can be leveraged in a variety of ways. I think I have him moving up those rankings, with the moves admittedly being driven through this pre-draft process.

Foster, despite not being the brightest guy, is still clear and away my top dog as well.

Correct, this is just ranking my top prospects for off ball LBs. So whether they end up as 3-4 ILBs, or WLBs, etc

And I know Watt, Anzalone, & Reddick may end up as edge rushers (especially Watt), but in case they DON'T, this is how I would view them

Jarrad Davis looks to be a nice value pick in Dynasty rookie drafts.

Anzalone was always injured in college, but a nice Taxi Squad stash.

I would have Blair Brown slide in around #8 currently. He's this year's Jatavis Brown (may not fall to the 5th, but he will outproduce expectations).

Blairsville Brown may be more similar comp to Jones. Anyone have Connor Harris on their board late? I'm more of a 6th round shopper for LBs these days.

Hard pass on the white boy.

I have read Harris comps well to Borland. I would use a more recent prospect named Kentrell Brothers. Extremely productive, but just a bit less athletic than NFL average LB. Also, I'd go with Scooby as a comp.
