Devin White

Plays with an attitude you want for your inside linebacker. He always seems to be around the ball, no matter where on the field. LSU used him to blitz quite often, so it's another plus he has to his game. There are shades of what can be a dominant linebacker in the NFL, chooses the correct hole, tracks the ball well, and finishes his tackles, though there were moments on tape where he showed concern, too. There were times during the Auburn game specifically where he looked to be gassed in the second-quarter and he looked terrible. There's more good than bad, however. His 4.42-second 40-yard dash essentially solidified him as the top linebacker off the board.

Devin White selected by Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No. 5 overall

With the number five overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected LSU linebacker Devin White.

Fantasy Impact

With the Raiders stunning everyone and taking Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell with the fourth overall pick, the Bucs were in an interesting position with Josh Allen, Ed Oliver, and Devin White still available. There were rumors that they might be looking to trade back with a team looking to move up for a quarterback, but they ultimately went with Devin White, a three-down linebacker who should instantly step in and help their defense.
