Yeah I'm a Hurricanes fan good catch.. He's a real thumper too! He just moved to middle linebacker this year so I guess that's why they didn't have him listed.

1. http://BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1/college/UCLA_logo.gif Eric Kendricks, ILB/OLB, UCLA
   Height: 6-0. Weight: 228.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.69.
   Projected Round (2015): 2-4.
   9/11/13: Kendricks was mostly a backup until a breakout 2012 season in which he led the Pac-12 in tackles. Kendricks had 149 tackles with six tackles for a loss, two sacks, four passes broken up, two forced fumbles and one blocked kick. His instincts were excellent as he did a great job of reading and reacting.
   
   Thanks to a disruptive defensive line and star outside linebacker, Anthony Barr, Kendricks was able to make plays off of them. He is getting good preparation from a UCLA coaching staff under Jim Mora, Jr., which has a lot of pro experience.
   
   Kendricks would be higher in the rankings if he weren't so undersized. While Kendricks plays middle linebacker for the Bruins, he would have to move to outside linebacker in the NFL if he can't add weight. The junior still has time to add some weight if he wants to remain in the middle.
   
   Personal: Economics major. Son of Marv Kendricks and Yvonne Thagon. Eric Kendricks is the younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks, a second-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft out of California.

I like his game.

Jake Ryan, OLB, Michigan
Height: 6-3. Weight: 241.
Projected 40 Time: 4.72.
Projected Round (2015): 2-4.
9/11/13: Ryan tore his ACL in spring practice, but the Wolverines are hopeful that he can return to the field in mid-October. Ryan was their best defensive player last year, so it is understandable that they want him back. That is only a recovery time of seven months, so Michigan may be overly optimistic. Ryan led the team in tackles with 88 in 2012. The sophomore also had 16 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, three passes batted and four forced fumbles in a sensational season.

We are already intrigued.

Kind of small to me....

More USC homering but Hayes Pullard is tailor-made for this defense. He can play all 3 LB spots although I do not think he's a 1st rounder. Kid plays bigger than his size and has great leadership.

 

[KingintheNorth]

He can't be drafted until 2016 but recent Texas Tech transfer Mike Mitchell has the look of great NFL backer.

Crap list. These guys didn't know that Smallwood, Lavey and Borland already went pro, but we're supposed to believe they know who's going to be the top LBs a year from now?

 

[jcollins28]

No trojans...

No trojans...

Yeah, that Tyron Smith kid didn't work out at all.


Seriously, I'd be happy with Hayes Pullard or Eric Kendricks in Dallas next year. I'd lose my mind over Myles Jack in 2016, he's a monster.

I'm thinking they made the list long before they declared and haven't updated.
