Today I wanted to look at linebacker prospects in the upcoming draft, a position that the Pittsburgh Steelers could be looking to upgrade. The graph below uses their 2022 PFF Grade and their current rank on PFF’s Big Board that updates through the draft process:
The top overall player on PFF’s current board at the position is Washington State’s Daiyan Henley at number 38, meaning no linebackers currently in the first round. He had 650+ snaps the last two seasons and 360 in 2020, mostly in the box along with a bit of experience in slot and defensive line alignments particularly the last two years.
