Devin Bush, ILB, Michigan

When observing Bush on tape, he could be mistaken for a missile rather than a player at times. While his height is a cause for some concern (5-foot-11), it likely won’t keep Bush from being selected in the first 20 slots of the draft.

His top-notch game tape was only solidified with a spectacular combine performance, running a 4.43 40-yard dash along with a 4.23 20-yard shuttle. His speed and size make him an ideal fit for the weak-side LB position (WILL) in Spagnuolo’s defense. Still, I believe that he could have success as the MIKE linebacker in a scheme with big bodies in front of him on the defense such as those in Kansas City.

His aggressive playing style could transform the identity of a defense as a whole. Although Bush is not a perfect prospect by any means, he could have a tremendous impact on the team that picks him from the first time he takes the field.
