So much talent at the LB position it's tough to pick the top 20. A lot of rookies can make immediate impact for teams so if you get caught up look for Te'o, Ogletree or Brown in later rounds. Make sure you understand your league's scoring when going after a linebacker. If sacks are weighted heavily you need a guy that plays in an aggressive defensive scheme.Luke Kuechly was the #1 overall producer in 2012 and believe it or not he was a rookie, which means we should see improvement in 2013. This makes Kuechly an easy #1 pick in my LB draft rankings.
