Jeremiah Trotter, Jr., LB, Clemson
Brandon Beane is well-known for going defense in the first round, and the hole thatTremaine Edmunds left allows for Trotter, Jr. to immediately fill a need. Standing at 6'0, 230 pounds, Trotter, Jr. is a very solid prospect that is a traditional three-down defender.
Trotter, Jr. has electric speed in blitzing scenarios and has the versatility to drop back in space when needed in coverage. Coming off a season where he had 89 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and 2 INTs, look for Trotter, Jr. to play a massive role in the Tigers' defense this coming season.
Mock drafts have Trotter, Jr. slotted in the back of the first round, but don't be surprised if he shoots up draft boards after this season. He has all the measurables of a modern era linebacker that will allow him to essentially be a "plug and play" player within the Bills' defense.
