Malik Harrison LB – Ohio State

While Kenneth Murray could be a first round selection, Malik Harrison could potentially be an option at linebacker in the second or third round for the Green Bay Packers. Harrison has put together a nice season at Ohio State where he has totaled 69 tackles, including a whopping 16 for loss, along with 3.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries. Clearly, Harrison has been at his best making plays around the line of scrimmage.

Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network had this to say about Harrison in his scouting report:

"“Thick framed defender who offers a lot of quality reps in the box. And while he’s not going to be a man to man coverage option — there are plenty of positive reps in pass coverage courtesy of driving on route releases crossing his face. Does a really nice job of stuffing up crossers and preventing a timely release across the LOS. His run resume is solid — he’s stout when filling in interior gaps and has shown an understanding of how to leverage certain kinds of blocks to keeps his gap responsibility.”"

As always there are plenty of other players to keep your eyes on as well, but these five, in particular, are early round prospects that could be high impact players in 2020 if they end up with the Green Bay Packers.
