2015 Pre-Draft LB Rankings

Welcome to my Pre-Draft LB rankings. To be honest there is some serious depth at the linebacker position entering 2015. The linebacker position still remains the cream of the crop in the IDP world, with that I’d still target an elite LB to anchor your defense, especially if you start three or more. Sitting at the top of the rankings is Lavonte Kuechly, I mean Luke David, I mean Lavonte David or Luke Kuechly but it really doesn’t matter honestly. I put Lavonte at the top once again because he brings a little more to the table and can mirror Luke’s tackle numbers. But, debating between Lavonte and Luke for the #1 spot is like debating whether or not iPhone is better than Android. It’s all personal preference; carry on.

There’s going to be a bunch of shuffling as off-season progresses, from the draft to free agency to injuries which is why I’ll keep this updated as much as I can.  Until then, shoot your questions at me via twitter @IDPwithBEE_8o8.
