27. Bednardrick McKinney, ILB, Miss. St: 88

Pros: McKinney has a nose for the football and knows where the ball is heading. He has a Brian Urlacher-esque skill set when it comes to sideline to sideline defending and his zone coverage skills. Bednarick is a taller inside linebacker with long arms which he used from time to time as a pass rusher off the edge. McKinney is also a solid tackler and attacks the line of scrimmage well.

Cons: Although McKinney is always around the ball, his instincts are not elite. He will bite on counter actions and at times overpursue, but if a team is looking for a three down mike linebacker that can do it all, he is one of a couple of guys in this draft who can make an impact at every facet of the linebacker position right away in the NFL.
