Local media seems to be converging around him as well as the guy to pick at 29 if he is still there
Yeah. Logan and Hoffman still think its a long shot he's there I gather because of Jeremy Greene. But heck even Greene didn't flinch when he was available for Washington when he was doing a recent mock.
Judging by mocks the biggest threat is the Lions a pick ahead of us.
Logan just did a new podcast -- he likes but doesn't think they will be there - M. Williams, S. Stewart and Ezeiruaku at 29, they are to him a tier above the next tier of Scourton, JT, Landon Jackson and Pearce.
I saw Schefter mention Schwesinger for this team and another (I think it was Bills) as a possibility late first. I got to watch him now. On the surface it feels like a Ron Rivera kind of pick, a darkhouse player, at a non premium spot -- with personal ties between these players and I gather Norton and Peters to UCLA. I know some of the PFF guys think both he and Oladejo are overhyped and they aren't as high on them. But lol, I'll watch him with an open mind.
Here are the scouts on him.
But when should teams draft a linebacker? The position and the game have changed so much. Bob McGinn examines with full analysis from scouts across the NFL.

3. CARSON SCHWESINGER, UCLA (6-2 ½, 242, no 40, 2-3): Walked on in 2021 and redshirted. Played sparingly in 2022 and ’23. Made his first career start in Game 3 of 2024 replacing Femi Oladejo, who shifted to the outside. “Crazy story,” one scout said. “They put this guy in and he was an All-American. Crazy instinctive, quick off the spot, can really run, awesome space tackler, natural blitzer. Has close speed and timing; can break down on the quarterback. Almost moves like a safety. Not great at the point. Blockers lock on him. Inconsistent playing the ball in coverage, but then he makes an interception or forces a fumble like he’s Johnny on the spot. Really good second-round player.”
Led the Big Ten in tackles with 136, the most by a Bruin since LB Eric Kendricks in 2014. “Good football player but not the biggest,” a second scout said. “Only played in the 220’s. Just really instinctive. Knows the game, knows which angles to take, plays really hard. Lacks a little bit of size and length fighting off NFL offensive linemen but the game is played sideline-to-sideline more than in the trenches. He’s right there on the fringe. He might be a guy teams really like, but when he gets on the field is the size going to show up? At worst, he’s going to be a really good special teamer-backup spot player. If guys like Josey Jewell are still playing, if this guy gets with the right coach and the right scheme, this guy could have a long career.” Finished with 163 tackles (12 for loss), five sacks and three turnover plays. “Fun to watch,” a third scout said. “He is just a tackling machine. He triggers quick. He finds it. Quick, fast, tough. Not a take-on guy. Doesn’t stay blocked. He’s just everywhere. Second round.” Arms were 31 5/8. From Moorpark, Calif. “He’s a little bit taller version of (Kansas City’s) Drue Tranquill,” a fourth scout said. “That’s a positive. I saw him as a solid starter. What he lacks is point-of-attack strength but he’s got big-time range. Can run people down. Instincts in a linebacker are so key. This guy has ‘em.”
