Best pro fits for 2018 NFL draft prospects in the College Football Playoff final

RASHAAN EVANS, LB, ALABAMA
Best fits: Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints

Evans does it all for the Alabama defense, playing a more traditional linebacker role this year after dominating off the edge in limited opportunities in his first three years. This year, his 77.5 pass-rush grade ranks fourth among linebackers and he has 16 sacks, 16 QB hits, and 35 hurries on only 271 career rushes and his versatility will certainly make him attractive to the Patriots who may see some Jamie Collins to his game. The Steelers defense is always in need of linebackers who are capable of covering and rushing the passer, while the Saints made great strides defensively this season, but are still looking for a dynamic playmaker in the middle of that defense.

I fear he will be gone by the time we pick and we will be looking at probably the two freaks of the draft on the board with a ton of questions to answer.

Why their production was so bad this year?

Malik Jefferson OLB/WLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr
Tarvarus McFadden CB Florida State* 6012 198 4.49 #4 Jr

Interviews are huge for Malik and Tarvarus
