Kendell Beckwith

Beckwith fell to the third round of the 2017 draft due to a November 2016 ACL tear, but was a likely first-round selection had he not been injured. The LSU alum racked up 263 tackles (124 solo), including 24.5 for loss, in 44 games with the Tigers. He added 7.5 sacks, eight passes defensed, one pick-six, three fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles while developing a well-earned reputation as a vicious hitter. At 6-2, 243-pounds, Beckwith could realistically step into the starting lineup at strongside linebacker with an impressive training camp and preseason, given that veteran Daryl Smith isn't expected to return and unproven 2016 sixth-round pick Devante Bond, who missed his rookie season with a hamstring injury, currently sits atop the depth chart.
