My RankNameTeamAgeSkinny
1Daryl WashingtonARI24Great against the run and the pass. High tackle production with sacks and picks as well.
2Luke KuechlyCAR22Terrific rookie season after a slow start. Can see him moving to #1 if he picks up where he left off
3Navarro BowmanSFO24A tackling machine that has put a dent in Willis' production
4James LaurinaitisSTL26Solid tackle production. Not far behind the top 2. Good bet for 100+ solo tackles again
5Lavonte DavidTBB23"Quietly" put up a monster rookie season stat line. Can't argue with 100+ solo tackles
6Paul PoslusznyJAX28Tackling machine on a team that usually plays from behind. High snap count
7Sean LeeDAL26Was off to a great start before his injury.
8Bobby WagnerSEA22Great rookie season and playing in an aggressive defense
9Sean WeatherspoonATL25Consistent production. Missed a few games last year has low end LB1 upside/high end LB2
10Patrick WillisSFO28Tackle numbers aren't what they were before Bowman arrived. Still solid and consistent LB1
11Chad GreenwayMIN30Solid LB1 production that is hard to find outside of the MLBs
12Derrick JohnsonKCC30Tackling machine, very consistent producer
13Von MillerDEN24Top 10 potential in big play scoring leagues. Huge single game/matchup potential
14Colin McCarthyTEN24Great potential but hasn't completely realized it yet
15Jerod MayoNEP27Has a knack for being around the ball on every play. Nice production from the WLB spot
16Brian CushingHOU26Should be good for 70-80 solo tackles with some big play upside
17Curtis LoftonNOS26Converting to ILB in the 3-4 but should still see consistent tackle numbers with low end LB1 upside
18Desmond BishopGBP28Ready to regain LB1 status after his injury last year
19D'Qwell JacksonCLE29Consistent tackle numbers over the years. Might take a hit with a switch to 3-4 in Cleveland
20Bruce CarterDAL25Huge jump due to the opportunity at WLB in the new Dallas 4-3 defense
21Lawrence TimmonsPIT26Started slow, finished strong. Won't hit 100 tackles but makes up for it with big plays
22Aldon SmithSFO23Worth the risk as a weekly LB2/3 starter with monster game potential
23Stephen TullochDET28Benefits from a solid DT play that eats up blockers
24Donald ButlerSDC24Has an opportunity to jump into the low end LB1 group
25Wesley WoodyardDEN26Makes tackles all over the field, covers the TE and beats the MLB to the ball
26Jerrell FreemanIND27Former CFL player took the NFL and IDP world by storm. Great production from the WLB spot
27Perry RileyWAS25The heir apparent to London Fletcher. Might stay in his shadow after Fletcher retires
28Clay MatthewsGBP26Classic OLB/pass rusher. Lives and dies by the sack/FF
29Manti Te'oSDC22Still my #1 LB in the draft class, despite the hype/concerns. Will be looking to fill Seau's shoes
30Zach BrownTEN23Moving his way up the rankings. Should be LB2 worthy with low end LB1 upside… for now
31Arthur BrownBAL23Great spot for him and could easily rank him higher
32David HarrisNYJ29Still getting the job done but only a LB2 and falling
33Lance BriggsCHI32One of the best WLB in the game but getting up there in years. Still has low end LB2 upside
34D.J. WilliamsDEN30Incredibly productive in his prime years in Denver. I see him getting back to that
35DeMeco RyansPHI28Solid MLB converting back to ILB in the 3-4 defense. Still solid LB2/3 production
36Elvis DumervilBAL29Should benefit playing opposite Terrell Suggs. Double digit sacks seem inevitable
37Phillip WheelerMIA28Moves to Miami as their SLB. Should give LB3 value if not more
38Jon BeasonCAR28Taking a backseat to Kuechly for leading tackler in Carolina
39Vontaze BurfictCIN23Led the Bengals in tackles but will likely stay at WLB… for now
40London FletcherWAS37One of the best and most reliable LBs of our time. Still a starter in his late 30's
41Dannell EllerbeMIA27Jumps into the top 50 as the new MLB in Miami
42James-Michael JohnsonCLE23Ready to take on a larger role. Will play ILB with D'Qwell in the new 3-4
43Mason FosterTBB24Still has LB3 upside
44Pat AngererIND26Was injured last year. Great candidate to bounce back into LB2 or even LB1 status
45Kevin BurnettOAK30New WLB in Oakland, should have plenty of tackle opportunities. Potential move to MLB?
46Kevin MinterARI22Nice opportunity playing beside uber stud Daryl Washington
47DeAndre LevyDET26Has missed some time but he's staying at WLB in Detroit
48Jarvis JonesPIT23#1 pass rushing talent in this draft, Dick LeBeau will get him going
49Dont'a HightowerNEP23Should improve on his rookie season as his role will continue to grow
50LaMarr WoodleyPIT28Pass rushing specialist in Blitzburgh. Limited to LB4 status with LB3 upside because of it.
51Brandon SpikesNEP25A thumper MLB that loses tackles to Mayo. Upside could be capped to low end LB2/LB3
52Trent ColePHI30Big slide in the rankings for the perennial top 10 DE. Moving to OLB in the 3-4
53Paul KrugerCLE27Signed with Cleveland as an OLB, taking away yet another DE this year
54Jabaal SheardCLE23Should be able to make the switch to 3-4 OLB
55Justin HoustonKCC24Still coming into his own but definitely has LB3 upside
56Miles BurrisOAK25Solid rookie season with a good shot to increase production at WLB in Oakland
57Tamba HaliKCC29He used to be a solid DE, now he's an aging OLB pass rusher who is almost too risky to start
58Kiko AlonsoBUF22Flying up draft boards with a great opportunity in Buffalo
59Russell AllenJAX27Had a great season playing WLB with Poz on the field. Can he keep it going?
60Alec OgletreeSTL21Plenty talented but might struggle for tackle opportunities early on
61Barkevious MingoCLE22Need to see what they do with him in Cleveland with Kruger and Sheard
62Brad JonesGBP27Replacing Bishop at ILB in Green Bay?
63Jason WorildsPIT25Has an opportunity to start now that Harrison is gone in Pittsburgh
64Erin HendersonMIN26LB4/LB5 at most, won't be a reliable starter
65Karlos DansbyFA31Consistent producer for years. Future is unknown after leaving Miami
65David HawthorneNOS27His move to NOLA kinda sucks for IDP owners
65Nigel BradhamBUF24Incredibly athletic and delivers big hits. Poised to start at SLB in Buffalo
66Nick BarnettFA31Very productive in GB and Buffalo, future is uncertain
67Brian UrlacherFA34If Chicago won't bring him back, then he's really almost done
68Rey MaualugaCIN26Looks like he'll keep the MLB job in Cincy
69James AndersonCHI29Had huge years in 2010-2011. Signed with the Bears as their SLB
69Jo-Lonn DunbarSTL28
70Bjoern WernerIND23Better suited to a 4-3 DE and one of my favorites, will have to be patient
71Nick RoachOAK28Can he really be the MLB in Oakland?
72Brandon GrahamPHI25
73Courtney UpshawBAL23The Dumervil signing keeps him from moving up the rankings
74Michael BoleyFA30
74Akeem AyersTEN23
75James HarrisonCIN35Falling off the cliff, might catch on somewhere as a situational pass rusher
76Nate IrvingDEN24Still hasn't won the MLB job in Denver
77Stephen NicholasATL30
78Sio MooreOAK23Could be the future WLB in Oakland
79Jon BosticCHI22Could be the next MLB in Chicago in DJ Williams faulters
80Brian OrakpoWAS26Not as valuable in tackle heavy scoring leagues
