What position group is better?

What other group has 2 players on the preseason watch list(McKinney and Skinner for the Butkus Award) -- meaning they are considered 2 of the top 51 overall linebackers in all of college football?

There are TWO SEC schools with multiple players on that list -- us and Alabama -- and they play an extra guy in that 3-4.

NVM that Wells may be the highest-drafted of the 3(safety/lb cover hybrid meant to match up against the new NFL tight end) -- and we've got Richie and Beniquez Brown, who both run in the 4.5 range @ >220lbs, waiting in the wings. Nevermind Zach Jackson and Ferlando Bohanna -- who are both solid.

We've got a logjam for reps at the LB position -- and there won't be much notable dropoff between the first and second strings either...
