Patriots 2011 Draft Report: OLB Rankings
Thursday is the big day. Stay with us as we wrap up our 2011 NFL Draft rankings.
Up next, the outside linebacker rankings.
One thing to note is our “Patriots Interest Scale.” Using our best judgment we have placed a ranking, 0-10, on whether or not the Patriots appear to have interest in the prospect.
- 0 = the lowest level of interest.
- 10 = the highest level of interest.
Also, our rankings don’t include tweener prospects like Brooks Reed or Allen Bailey, both of whom could play in a 3-4 scheme as an outside linebacker.
