2010 NFL Draft rankings: Middle linebackers

The middle linebacker rankings took a little longer than intended because apparently some of the junior outside linebackers were incorrect. Two players, Michigan State's Greg Jones and North Carolina's Quan Sturdivant are playing middle linebacker this season, so they were moved over.

That is probably for the best because the other junior middle men besides Rolando McClain leave a lot to be desired.

The same can't be said for the senior middle linebackers. Brandon Spikes is a certain first round player and Micah Johnson and Joe Pawelek are very good players. Then there's Penn State's Sean Lee, a great talent coming back from a devastating knee injury.

After all the positional rankings are revealed, a top 200 will be put out. Up next will be defensive tackles.

I think they did that here last year and I don’t really know why since they aren’t draft related. From my standpoint, all I’d get out of it is people calling me an idiot, so I don’t know. If you want to do one in a Fanpost or something, I’ll probably promote it over…

I freaking love Brandon Spikes. He’s going to be an excellent pro, and has the look of that rare every-down linebacker.

Brandon Spikes

may get drafted higher, but Rolando McClain is gonna be the better pro if whenever he comes out.
