Darron Lee from Ohio State is the best true linebacker prospect available after Myles Jack and features some of the same traits Jack does.

While Lee doesn’t have the offensive history Jack does, he does posses the athleticism and brains to play the Mike linebacker position, either outside linebacker position, and could be converted to a safety at the NFL level as well.

Fortunately for Atlanta they need one of each, and can figure out where Lee fits best for them and plug him in right away.

The fifth Buckeye taken is also the fifth Buckeye who will be an immediate starter for his new franchise.

Previously:  Darron Lee – LB – Ohio State
