In this 2015 NFL Draft scouting report, we cover Mississippi State Bulldogs inside linebacker Benardrick McKinney. McKinney has been hyped this past season because of his athleticism and most of the draft boards I saw had him going in the first round. But by the end of the season, those same draft boards had him on the 1-2 border.

That’s because the more tape he accumulated, the more his draft value dropped as a prospect. Then when the season ended, the NFL personnel and scouting worlds really got to look at everything.  And now, they have him as a solid 2nd-round pick but I’m not ever sure he should be that.
