🏈 Top 10 Linebackers in 2012 NFL Draft

[Alabamafan101]

Hey Everyone,


Aside from the determined and powerful quarterbacks we've been talking about for sometime now. Let's focus our attention on the linebackers. How can we forget about our Linebackers? They are one of the most important players of the team. The NFL Draft is approximately two weeks away, and Bleacher Report Matt Miller gives his version of his Top 10 Linebackers in the 2012 NFL Draft. Do you agree or disagree with his decisions, and why?

List is absolutely terrible.

For those too lazy to watch the video (dont waste your time)

Outside Linebacker
5. Whitney Mercilus, Illinois
4. Andre Branch, Clemson
3. Courtney Upshaw, Alabama
2. Melvin Ingram, South Carolina
1. Nick Perry, USC

Inside Linebacker
5. Audie Cole, NC State
4. Mychal Kendricks, California
3. James-Michael Johnson, Nevada
2. Luke Kuechly, Boston College
1. Dont'a Hightower, Alabama

Its like he didnt know any actual Outside Backers so he just took the names of several Defensive Ends and "projected" them as Outside Backers yet takes an actual Outside Backer (Cole) and puts him as a "top" inside backer. Puttin Courtney at #3 is pretty facepalm worthy too.
