51st overall-Adrian Hubbard-Alabama- Another amazing defensive talent for the crimson tide. Hubbard is a very big rangy OLB who might even project as a DE at the next level should a team chose to convert him to one. I wouldn’t even be adverse to drafting both he and Mosely back to back and pairing them up to wreak havoc on opposing offenses for years to come.

Alternate pick-Chris Borland-Wisconsin- The only thing Borland lacks is height, but plenty tall at 5’11”. He is very thickly built, and brings a whallop with him when he meets ball carriers in the hole. Very smart player too which projects as the defenses quarterback from the MLB position perfectly. Explosive player with good downhill speed, and relentless in pursuit on the backside, and a great blitzer. Can be exploited in coverage due to height restrictions, but is no patsy in the deep middle either.
