I like Jalon Walker.  A chess piece. Georgia has a reputation for developing linebacker too. His role in that defense was something I could see Envero using. Not trying to move on from Josey causes he is killing it recently but Walker could be his eventual replacement. Lastly local guy.

Salisbury High School.  He can play in the box, edge, and cover--a three down LB that can be moved around--I actually want him.

Keep an eye on Marshall's Mike Green.  This year, had 17 sacks, 3 in games vs. Va Tech and Ohio State.  Last year?  9 sacks.  6'4, 250--great size.  SLEEEEEEPER.

While on the topic of Mike Green, he had 38 SOLO tackles, 81 overall--he averaged 1.5 sacks per game vs. Ohio St.  and Va Tech, so the level of competition does not seem to be a factor for him.  Tankathon has his as the 11th ranked Edge; NFL Draft Buzz has him rated 12.  I expect his stock to rise, but if it does not, I personally think he would be a steal in the second round.  NFL Draft Buzz has his 40 time at 4.57 (not sure where they got that).  He has the length, the size.  I look for consistency too--sometimes a player can have 4 sacks vs a reserve OT from Ricky's School for Wayward Teens and disappears in most other games.  He had sacks in every game except three, and in those games, he had 11, 8, and 5 tackles respectively.  That probably means (in the 11 and 8 games) that they were not passing the ball.  However, for an edge to have 81 tackles/38 solo tackles and 17 sacks is domination.  I should note that Marshall had a high scoring offense and the opposition was playing from behind a lot, but top-rated Abdul Carter had 1 sack in two games against Bowling Green and Kent.  In 7 of his 13 games, he did not have a sack.  Albeit the competition was better, but against a mutual opponent, Ohio State, Abdul had 4 tackles (2 solo) and 2 sacks--a very good game.  Against Ohio State, Green had 2 tackles and 1 sack.  To put that into perspective, Will Howard and Ohio State were sacked only 10 times all year--and Penn State had 3 of them.
