ILB Prospects

Browse 49ers books and videos
Micah Kiser is one of my favorites.

Uchenna Nwosu out of USC is another. 68 tackles, 7 sacks, 13 passes defensed on the year so far.
Buffalo junior LB Khalil Hodge had 13 tackles, two TFL, one interception and a pass breakup in last week's win over Ohio.

Hodge has been obscenely productive this year, posting 154 tackles, two interceptions and a pair of forced fumbles. "Hodge is a dominant run defender best making plays up the field or in pursuit," Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline wrote. "He's a natural MLB/ILB with starting potential at the next level."

A mid round option if he declares

I've had him mocked for a while but see him as a definite day 3 guy.

Josey Jewell from Iowa is a guy I like in the mid rounds, 3 to 4

You mean the guy Barkley beat with about two yards of space on the sideline from practically a standing start?! (4th quarter game sealing 1st down)

I love Saqoun but he definitely exposed Jewell's lateral ability, that doesn't bode well
As far as ILB's go I like the sideline to sideline ability of Jerome Baker out of Ohio State and I like the small school prospect of Darius Leonard out of SC State in the MEAC. He has a nose for the ball and is a sound tackler.

I like Baker, he made some very nice plays in space against Barkley which is good enough for me, a candidate to play WILL for us
Top coverage LBers in this draft per PFF

Skai Moore is a coverage beast finished his career with the gamecocks with 351 tackles and 14 ints.

He's a guy I'd love to see his 40 time. Big knock on him size and athleticism. Late rd pick

Medicals are going to be big for Moore, too. Dude had that scary neck injury.

Yeah think that was a yr ago correct? Think he could be a good weak-side guy

You watch/know anything about Joel Iyiegbuniwe from Western Kentucky? I'm searching for some athletic LBers that might not cost us a top 100 pick

Nope, and there's no tape online.

I know just highlights...I've seen reports that he's gonna test well at the combine.
I'm still looking for more Darius Leonard tape.

Only game I've looked at is the NC central one

Not too familiar with him but I remember seeing him going in the 1st in a bunch of mocks for this year a couple years ago, 14 picks is mighty impressive for a LB..
