Round 4, Pick 110: Josh Uche, LB, Michigan
Uche can be considered the poor man’s Isaiah Simmons — versatile and little smallish for a backer and too big to play safety. He did not run the 40 at the Combine so we don’t know how fast he is, but his versatility is intriguing.
“His ability to rush the quarterback, and play either with his hand down or in a standing position, increases his value in the eyes of the scout who spoke with ESPN writers. “He doesn’t have the typical edge-rusher build but likely projects as an outside ‘backer who can sustain pass-rushing downs in certain defenses,” the scout said. “Loved how explosive his lower-body movement showed up in individuals. Great bend.” – Rotoworld
