3. Paul Dawson, TCU
The TCU linebacker is entering the draft with size concerns, as he only weighs 235 pounds. While Dawson may need to bulk up a little, his stats are hard to ignore as he amassed 136 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, four interceptions and six sacks in his final season at TCU.
He could possibly be the unquestioned top inside linebacker prospect even with his size, but character concerns also weigh down his draft stock. Although he does not have a criminal record, he admitted to testing positive for Adderall but insisted that he spent more time studying film than he was given credit for.
Projection: Round 2
