There are lots of quality LBs out there that could be available in Rd 3, whereas the OTs you mentioned (the first four) will almost certainly be gone in Rd 1. The others are largely being earmarked as "best to move inside" and have substantial holes in their games. They also struggle with mobility and that is a part of why they are being pointed in the direction of Guard and not capable of handling the speed of outside pass rushers. There are only a few of them that can do that...and they will almost certainly go in the first round.
The LBs like Pratt, Terrill Hanks, Gary Johnson, and David Long, Jr. are fast, capable in coverage, LBs that can help this team. I would also argue that all the LBs would benefit from better play at the NT position.
Me, and nearly every other draft prognosticator, disagree with this assessment of level of talent in comparing LB to tackle but that is beauty of the draft I guess.
