Buffalo OLB Khalil Mack clocked forty times of 4.66 and 4.62 at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Mack checked in at 6-foot-2 1/2 and 251 pounds earlier in Indy. NFL Network's Mike Mayock sees Mack as this year's No. 1 overall prospect, while Rotoworld's Josh Norris likes him as a top-three player. Mack is capable of harassing QBs both as a Von Miller-like "Sam" linebacker and 3-4 outside rush 'backer.
--- Anthony Barr - LB - Player
UCLA OLB Anthony Barr clocked forty times of 4.66 and 4.63 at the NFL Scouting Combine.
They're very good forty times for a 6-foot-5, 255-pound edge presence. Barr also has plus arm length at 33 1/2 inches. Barr is not quite as flexible or NFL ready as Khalil Mack, but both players have a shot to be top-ten overall picks. Barr belongs in a 3-4, rushing the passer from a two-point stance.

As mainly pass rushers, "LBs" Trent Murphy (6.78) and Anthony Barr (6.82) fit in the top 3-cone times I listed before among DL since 2006. Tyler Starr did not break the best 3-cone time since 2006 (6.42), but he was the top LB this year with a 6.64.

Although I have not seen him play, I did watch him compete at the combine and I was very impressed with the speed and agility of Kevin Pierre-Louis from Boston College.Probably best suited as a outside LB in a 3-4, I definitely want to know if he looks as good on film as he did in drills today.

I agree. I kinda hope the Vikings take Mosley at #8.
I like Mosley a lot. I think he projects very well as a WILL in our 4-3 defense. I think we might be able to trade back a few spots and still nab him too.
