Trevor Scott put up some pretty respectable numbers (where classified as a DE) as a hybrid WLB/DE. Does anyone think he continues to stay in this role and if he does where do you rank him as a DE?

With addition of K. Wimbley, I would expect T. Scott to be permanently classified as the WLB for Oakland.

If he stays at the Will, is he capable of putting up Thomas Howard type stats (or close to it)? I know the LB situation is in flux, depending on who stays and who goes. I am figuring Morrison moves on, and is looking like Ricky Brown might end up in the middle (if he can stay healthy long enough). If Howard stays, does he take over at the SLB?

Just too early to say. Morrison and Howard have affordable RFA tenders, but I would have to think if a team was thinking about an offer sheet, they would have made a visit or two by now. They both might stay, but if the Raiders pick up a LB, it could all change.
We didn't see much of Scott at WLB, so I think the jury is still out. Howard at SLB seems like square peg/round hole, although his coverage skills would be welcome over the TE.
As for Wimbley, he's been in the 3-4 the last few years, so the Raiders plans for him remain a mystery. I think it's possible Scott and Wimbley could both be at DE in certain packages.
Scott at full-time WLB would NOT put up the same numbers that Howard did, IMO.

I think Scott is the better pass rusher compared to Howard so he will most likely put up higher sack numbers out of the weakside spot. Howard is better in coverage and probably better tackler. That said, I think Howard remains on strong side for those reasons. Just a better LB. Morrison stays at home in center. T. Scott stays on weak side where he can get pressure on QBs. I think Raiders envision Wimbley and Seymour as book ends with Seymour shifting to inside on passing downs with Shaughnessy rotating in.That said. Its the Raiders. So who the hell knows!

Any news on where Scott is playing in Camps? I'm kind of surprised that FBG doesn't have him listed in any of the rankings since theres a chance he could be the starting WLB.

Scott has been taking the WLB snaps. Wimbley's been playing SLB with Howard as his backup. McClain is obviously the MLB.
Scott took over the WLB position on Nov 26th last year (OAK vs DAL). In the 6 games at his new position, he posted 23-3 with 3 sacks. It's a small sample size, but it appears as if Scott will most likely need to keep posting decent sack totals to have a substantial FF presence. Fortunately, Scott should have the opportunity to increase his tackle totals. Unless something changes from last year, Scott should continue being a 3-down LB. In fact, he did not miss one defensive snap the final 5 games of last season.

Unless MFL keeps his fantasy designation as a DE-ala Terrell Suggs- and then he could be very good play IMO- otherwise I agree as a LB he would have minimal value.

MFL will have Scott listed as a LB if he plays there. His tackle numbers would have to improve considerably before I could rank him.

I think 50+ solos and 5-8 sacks is possible for Scott as an every-down player in this role. He just cracks the top 50 in my redraft rankings as an upside depth player to use against better matchups. He'll have a hard time cracking the dynasty rankings until he shows he consistent in the role and the Raiders show signs of some stability at OLB.

Ask MFL to keep him at DE. Thanks!Anthony Borbely said:

Thanks for the posts guys.. I guess I hear the words starting WLB / possible 3 downer and I must be higher on him than most people.

It appears as if Trevor Scott (along with McClain) will continue to be a 3-down LB for the Raiders.link:

When the Raiders went to the first-team nickel defense Sunday, McClain was on the field, with Trevor Scott as the second linebacker. He showed in Saturday’s evening session an ability to properly gauge the depth on his pass routes and break to make a play.
