LB Patrick Queen, LSU
There really doesn’t seem to be a clear consensus on who the second-best linebacker is. For some, it’s clearly Queen while others value Kenneth Murray more. And with the position as a whole being devalued in the wake of pass-heavy offenses, Queen could end up falling in the first round.
While not as fast as Simmons, Queen has the speed to play sideline-to-sideline and still come down in run support. He’s one of the few three-down linebackers in this draft class but many teams just don’t want or need a guy like that this early in the draft.
