Noah Sewll - LB (Oregon)

The Vikings could look to add some depth to their linebacking corps. They are rolling with Brian Asamoah to be the replacement for Eric Kendricks and kept Jordan Hicks on a restructured deal to be the veteran presence. The depth behind those two isn't ideal, with Troy Dye and Troy Reeder topping the depth chart.

There are some good linebacking prospects still on the board, with Owen Pappoe, and Henry To'o To'o being a couple of solid options. Another very good player who has yet to be chosen is Oregon's Noah Sewell. Sewell is the brother of Lions' offensive tackle Penei Sewell so football is definitely something that flows through his blood.

Sewell possesses great size standing 6-foot-1.5 and weighing 246 pounds. He's very experienced as he was a three-year starter at Oregon. He lacks speed, but plays with plenty of power and is able to fight through and shed blocks on his way to the ball carrier.

He's been extremely productive in his career at Oregon, racking up 218 total tackles, 20.5 tackles for a loss, and 7.5 sacks. He'd be a very nice compliment to Brian Asamoah and likely would have an impact on special teams in 2023.
