Eric Kendricks, Inside Linebacker, UCLA
After sending Kiko Alonzo to the Philadelphia Eagles for LeSean McCoy during the offseason, there’s now a slight hole in depth at inside linebacker.
Eric Kendricks could be the guy to fill that void.
Kendricks is reliable in both the run and pass, making him the ideal inside linebacker for a Rex Ryan defense.
The UCLA prospect was considered one of the best tacklers in college football this past season, and ESPN’s Todd McShay called Kendricks the “best cover linebacker in the draft” Thursday night.
Kendricks would be a steal and nice addition for the Bills’ defense if he’s still on the board at 50.
