In this 2015 NFL Draft scouting report, we’re covering TCU inside linebacker Paul Dawson. All the draft boards I’ve seen give him a 2nd-round grade with one having him as an outside ‘backer. I saw a mock that had him going to the Oakland Raiders in the second round so I became interested.

He finished the 2014 season with and impressive 136 tackles, 20 for a loss, 6 sacks and four interceptions with one for a touchdown.

He should be gone in the first round right?
