Jon & Ollie finally get to their linebacker evaluations for the 2025 NFL Draft, a bleak class that offers some real promise at the top of the class, but falls off a cliff after that.

Jihaad Campbell - There is a lot to like about Campbell’s game, but Jon and Ollie both believe the scheme will matter for a player who doesn’t quite have all the abilities to be a special one in the NFL, but could really help a team.

Carson Schwesinger - One of the oddest profiles in the draft, as Schwesinger came out of nowhere to be one of the top prospects at his position. But one weakness could derail his otherwise impressive skill set in the NFL.

Tyreem Powell - Even after a devastating injury, Ollie can’t quit Powell’s cerebral, ultra-physical game, while Jon is worried about the movement ability in the NFL

Jeff Bassa - Jon tries to make the case for Bassa as a late day 2 developmental prospect, but Ollie isn’t having it for a second

Chris Paul Jr - Jon mulls a position change for Paul, whose limitations are concerning in an NFL projection

Demetrius Knight - Stiff 25-year old linebackers with coverage and block deconstruction limitations aren’t hot on the market

Smael Mondon - Jon’s third-favorite linebacker on tape, but how much is the size a concern? Ollie makes a case for Mondon’s package value in the NFL

Plus Kain Medrano, Danny Stutsman, Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Shemar James and more
