Mac prospects don't really get press till close to draft time. I want to see how he does at the combine first, but supposedly he is 6'4 and will run around a 4.65 40. He might not be a sideline to sideline LB, but he has good instincts and is pretty good in coverage. He, right now, is a likely late first to late second prospect. I saw some having him as a middle rounds at best, but I don't think they have watched any tape or saw him in action. He will have some growing and adjusting to do, but the potential is there. If he has a good combine, I expect him to rise to middle first at best bc that combo of size speed is rare. If he does well he will also start getting buzz with mainstream media. The reason I picked him out is he reminds me of a Bobby Wagner play style with better height, and with all the ex Seahawks staff we have in the front office I bet they have noticed him too.

I'm still gonna beat the Shaquem Griffin drum when thinking of LBs. He's another one to watch in the Senior Bowl

He's a junior, most players don't really start and produce consistently till junior year. Plus he played 8 man football in high school. The schools aren't big enough out in those Montana Idaho boondock towns. For linebackers that wouldn't worry me as much than for say a WR or QB. For linebackers you either have it or not; hit, shed, run, tackle, one of the easier positions to evaluate. This seems to be a pretty good draft for linebackers.
