Seen a thread for one specific LB but wanted a thread where we could bring up some different ones.

Possible some that might fall to different areas of the draft.

Here are a few names that some might be able to talk about, whether you would like them or not and where

J.Trotter Jr
Edgerrin Cooper
Cedric Gray
Payton Wilson
Tommy Eichenberg
Junior Colson
Jaylan Ford
Tyronn Hopper
Tyrice Knight

Payton Wilson reminds me of Fred Warner. Good size, super fluid, athletic, Injury history though.

I like Colson. He moves well for a 240 lb. guy.

Ty'Ron Hopper pops everytime I watch Mizzou play.
 
I think Colson is a really good fit.

I like a lot of these guys. The problem is getting them in a good round.
 
We need a instinctive LB, not another elite athlete that this team always covets. See the play before it happens and get to a spot quicker before a lineman blocks you.

This is one that has good size and can tackle. Junior Colson is one guy I like in the mid rounds.
 
From Bruce Feldman's Freak List....

Trevin Wallace, Kentucky, linebacker

This guy was a huge get for Kentucky out of Jesup, Ga. In 2021, he made the SEC’s All-Freshman team, and last year he posted 54 tackles, 5.5 TFLs, 2.5 sacks and intercepted two passes. The former high school track star — who once jumped 23-4 1/4 inches to break a school record that stood for 44 years and also won the state weightlifting title with a 335-pound power clean — is now up to 242 pounds, but still runs 22 MPH on the GPS and vertical-jumps 38.5 inches. His power clean is now up to 380 and he squats almost 600.

This…we’ve valued athlete over football player at the LBr position for years and it hasn’t paid off.

Last time we took the dude with great instincts and average athleticism was Lee and he’s the best of the last decade+.

Strong instincts is very important for both the linebacker, safety positions, more so the physical traits. One wrong step you can take yourself out of a play.
 
Junior Colston
Payton Wilson
Jason Henderson (smaller guy, big motor)
Nathenial Watson

Anything round 4-7 I'm all for it.

As of now, Cowboys would have 6-7th round picks, ugh.

Agree, LBs have to be able to diagnose a play in fractions of a second and the Cowboys don't have that now.
 
Steele Chambers
Power Echols

Can't beat a Power and Steele combo.
