NFL Draft: Top 10 outer linebackers the Ravens should target
By Ben Palmer
5. Taco Charlton – Michigan
Aside from having an amazing name, Taco Charlton is a big dude with some great speed. He’s 6’6″, 272 pounds and is one of the more athletic linebackers out there in this year’s NFL Draft.
He finished his 2016 season with the Michigan Wolverines with 43 tackles, 9.5 sacks, and 13 tackles for a loss. He’s fast, with good strength, and could work as either a defensive end in a 4-3 defense, or a linebacker in a 3-4.
His versatility is what makes him especially attractive to me. Not only is he a skilled, athletic defender, but you can slot him in as either a defensive end or a linebacker and he’ll be successful.
