2023 NFL draft: Consensus big board top 15 linebacker rankings

Few teams have a greater need at linebacker than the Seahawks going into the 2023 offseason. For one thing, Jordyn Brooks is recovering from a late-season ACL tear and may not be 100% for a long time. Meanwhile, both Cody Barton and Tanner Muse about to become free agents, so Seattle may wind up having to pick an off-ball linebacker at some point even if they do bring back franchise legend Bobby Wagner.

With that in mind, let’s examine some of their best options in the 2023 NFL draft. Here are the top 15 linebackers in this class according to the consensus big board.
