Bryan Longwell is a downhill linebacker whose only season on file, 70 tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss at Vanderbilt, is doing all the talking in his profile. The career-value model has him at No. 64 on its 2028 board, a slot no public big board currently fills for him, so this is a model that's out ahead of the room rather than confirming it.

Roster-based need returns once the 2027 season is played — grading this year’s teams on last year’s depth chart would be guessing. What’s knowable now: the teams holding picks around No. 64, and which of them already spent premium capital at EDGE / DL / LB in the 2027 draft.
