2014 NFL Combine workouts: DL, LB open thread

Buffalo Bills fans take in and discuss the third day of 2014 NFL Combine workouts, featuring defensive linemen and linebackers.

Kevin Hoffman-USA TODAY Sports

Regular people like us are back at work today, but NFL Combine workouts continue today in Indianapolis. Tight ends and offensive linemen worked out on Saturday, followed up by quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers on Sunday. The final two days of Combine workouts begin this morning, with defensive linemen and linebackers taking the field. (Defensive backs wrap things up tomorrow.)

The Buffalo Bills look fairly strong at defensive tackle, but in switching to a 4-3 defense under new coordinator Jim Schwartz, the team may be looking to make some personnel tweaks at defensive end and linebacker, where things are in a bit of a state of flux. Below are the names of several early-round prospects at both positions; we'll be watching them most closely today. Who isn't on our list that should be?
