Pick Analysis. ILB. Oregon. Troy Dye. 56. Scouting Report. 4. player

Day three should see several Ducks come off the board and among the first will be linebacker Troy Dye.

The three-time second-team All-Pac-12 linebacker made at least 84 total tackles in each of the past three seasons, including 100 or more in 2017 and 2018. Of his 391 career total tackles, 41 came for a loss of gain and 13 were sacks.

Dye would best fit on a team that will allow him to become a special teams starter and potentially compete for a starting job at linebacker.

The rebuilding Cincinnati Bengals fit the bill as they’re looking for players like Dye with experience winning and playing at a high level to help change the culture in the Queen City.

Projection: Fourth round (Bengals)
