There are not many true off-the-ball linebackers who are likely to be selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. To me, despite his size, Jalon Walker is as much of an “edge” as Abdul Carter. That leaves only Alabama’s Jihaad Campbell as a likely first-round pick (although his injury could impact that).
I don’t see a prospect worth the Cincinnati Bengals' top pick. So, let’s move on to who they could target on Day 2 and beyond.
1. Danny Stutsman - Oklahoma - 6’3” 233
I can’t figure out why this guy isn’t talked about more.
