Trotter is considered a third-round prospect from the B/R NFL Scouting Department, which noted he has solid skills in pass coverage, is good going sideline-to-sideline, has power at the point of conflict and should be able to contribute as a blitzer. He needs to improve in the run game, however, dropping him a bit down the board.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost Devin White in free agency, so they are going to be in the market for linebackers in this draft. Trotter would make sense as a replacement.

The team that signed White to start alongside Nakobe Dean and also employed Trotter’s father for many years, the Philadelphia Eagles, make sense as a potential suitor. The additions of White and Zack Baun made linebacker less of a pressing need than it was before free agency, but White is coming off a down year, Dean has struggled to stay healthy and Baun only has 88 career tackles in 62 games. It would not be surprising to see the team bring another option into the fold.

Remember the issues the Seahawks had against the run last season? New linebackers would help, though Trotter needs to grow in that area, as previously noted. Still, the Seahawks could use more competition for free-agent pickups Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson. Seattle already added Byron Murphy to round out the defensive tackle rotation, but more help up the spine would really bolster their defense.
