Top 3-4 Outside Linebackers

These are only the top 3-4 outside linebackers who have a chance to be selected on Day One (rounds 1 and 2), but at the very least will be drafted before the bottom two rounds. Again, these are ranked by 3-4 outside linebacker ability, not actual draft position, as some of these players could go higher in another scheme. The destinations only include 3-4 and hybrid-defense teams, and are based around their projected round.

* = Can play in a regular 4-3 defense as linebacker
^ = Can play in a regular 4-3 defense as defensive end
