DeVonte Fields | Outside Linebacker | Louisville Cardinals

CBS Sports’ Draft Board Ranking: 113

Projected Round: 3rd or 4th

Position Rank: 11th

DeVonte Fields really hurt his draft stock this season after not having the type of production everyone was hoping for in his senior year. There were a ton of media outlets that named him ACC preseason defensive player of the year, but he didn’t even come close.

However, that doesn’t mean he won’t have a successful career in the National Football League.

Fields has an opportunity to be a solid contribtor right away and some team will get a steal with him in the fourth round.

Fields finished his senior season with nine tackles for loss and six sacks, which was second on the team behind James Hearns.

Next: Number One
