Next up in Just Blog Baby’s coverage of the 2016 NFL Draft is a breakdown of Georgia linebacker Leonard Floyd.

Since the return of Aldon Smith isn’t guaranteed, and given the other players the Oakland Raiders have at linebacker, they could be targeting the position early in the draft.

With the 14th overall pick, could Leonard Floyd be an option?

Let’s get into some film.

Floyd gets around the edge and almost knocks the ball away from the QB, which forces a panicked throw that results in an interception.

Floyd definitely needs to get stronger, as evident by plays like this one.

Floyd needs to be more willing to take on blockers, instead of trying to go around them. Especially on plays like this one.

Floyd sheds a block and finishes the play with a tackle on Derrick Henry.
