Former linebacker turned defensive end who will likely be expected to stand as a rush linebacker on the next level. He may lack the traits and talent as a pass rusher to hang his hat on and he's not a natural edge-setter as this stage of his development. Davis is light on experience and technique so teams may need to draft and stash him on the practice squad if necessary. It's possible a team could look to migrate him back to a 4-3 LB role and while grooming him for special teams duties.
Productive SAM linebacker who will need to prove himself as an undersized WILL or MIKE on the next level. Gilbert is an instinctive run defender with a natural feel for maneuvering around big bodies to find his food, but despite his three-down ability, has a disappointing number of lapses in coverage. His lack of size, strength and versatility could make landing on a roster an uphill battle.
