Analysis: The common thread between all of these linebackers is speed. Austin Box, Andrew Dailey, and Stefoin Francois have enough speed that they can play safety in college if necessary. There is decent depth in this year's class. While Box is a very nice prospect, this crop lacks the elite level prospect last year's class had in Allen Bradford. It is a very nice class, but it just doesn't have that one can't miss prospect.
