It's time to recognize Khalil Mack as the top outside linebacker in the 2014 NFL Draft.

If Khalil Mack and Anthony Barr traded schools, there probably wouldn't be a debate over which player is the better NFL prospect. Mack has faced an uphill battle to gain recognition during his career at Buffalo, but his senior season should leave no questions about his pro potential. While Barr has put up impressive stats at UCLA, there are still serious questions about whether or not he will ever learn to fully take advantage of his physical tools. For that reason, Mack takes over the top spot in our linebacker rankings.

After the top two, there is still plenty of talent. Jeremiah Attaochu is a player to watch in the coming months, as he could turn some heads at the NFL Scouting Combine. There are plenty of college defensive ends in our outside linebacker rankings and even more could join the list before the process is over.

For now, we have 22 outside linebackers ranked. Here is the full list.

1. Khalil Mack | 6'3, 244 pounds | Outside linebacker | Buffalo

2. Anthony Barr | 6'4, 248 pounds | Outside Linebacker | UCLA

3. Ryan Shazier | 6'2, 222 pounds | Outside linebacker | Ohio State *

4. Trent Murphy | 6'6, 261 pounds | Outside linebacker | Stanford

5. Jeremiah Attaochu | 6'3, 240 pounds | Outside linebacker | Georgia Tech

6. Christian Jones | 6'4, 232 pounds | Outside linebacker | Florida State

7. Dee Ford | 6'2, 238 pounds | Outside linebacker | Auburn

8. Kyle Van Noy | 6'3, 235 pounds | Outside linebacker | BYU

9. Devon Kennard | 6'3, 260 pounds | Outside linebacker | Southern California

10. Telvin Smith | 6'3, 218 pounds | Outside linebacker | Florida State

11. Carl Bradford | 6'1, 243 pounds | Outside linebacker | Arizona State *

12. Adrian Hubbard | 6'5, 260 pounds | Outside linebacker | Alabama

13. Morgan Breslin | 6'2, 250 pounds | Outside linebacker | Southern California

14. Ronald Powell | 6'4, 244 pounds | Outside linebacker | Florida *

15. Shaquil Barrett | 6'2, 250 pounds | Outside linebacker | Colorado State

16. Denicos Allen | 5'11, 215 pounds | Outside linebacker | Michigan State

17. Anthony Hitchens | 6'1, 233 pounds | Outside linebacker | Iowa

18. Jonathan Brown | 6'1, 235 pounds | Outside linebacker | Illinois

19. Derrell Johnson | 6'2, 264 pounds | Outside linebacker | East Carolina

20. Prince Shembo | 6'1, 258 pounds | Outside linebacker | Notre Dame

cold fjord writes "Politico reports, 'Sen. Dianne Feinstein says she once found a drone peeking into the window of her home — the kind of cautionary tale she wants lawmakers to consider as they look at allowing commercial drone use. ... she used the episode to implore lawmakers to "proceed with caution." Feinstein said she encountered the flying robot while a demonstration was taking place outside her house. She said she went to the window to peek out — and "there was a drone right there at the window looking out at me." ... "Obviously the pilot of the drone had some surprise because the drone wheeled around and crashed ..." she said. ... Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Wednesday that she has seen firsthand the surveillance capabilities of drones and called civilian privacy concerns "significant." She ... recommended a search warrant requirement. Feinstein said she is working on legislation with the Commerce Committee and urged senators to move swiftly to create "strong, binding enforceable privacy policies that govern drone operations before the technology is upon us."'"

Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.

The actor: With training from Juilliard and a voice that commands respect, Keith David has rarely failed to make an impression as an actor, no matter what part he’s been called upon to play. Over the course of his career, David has done comedy (There’s Something About Mary) and drama (Platoon), sci-fi (They Live) and biographies (The Tiger Woods Story), and even a stint on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Currently, David is assigned to Fox’s new military-themed sitcom, Enlisted.

Enlisted (2014-present)—“Command Sgt. Maj. Donald Cody”
Keith David: The first thing that comes to mind is “hooray.” [Laughs.] Hooray and hooah! You know, it’s been a wonderful time and a great association so far. ...

Neal Brennan likes to say that everyone in Hollywood is a future has-been, and he should know: He’s been a has-been three times. As Dave Chappelle’s longtime writing partner, he experienced a few low points by his mid-30s: in 1998 when the film they wrote, Half Baked, flopped, then again following Chappelle’s Show’s dramatic end in 2005. Worse, the second one ended his relationship with the mercurial comedian, at least temporarily. Finally, his first big project post-Chappelle’s Show, a film he directed called The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, received poor reviews and weak box-office sales. At that point, Brennan had been harboring an interest in stand-up comedy for a few years, so he decided to place his focus there. His credits helped get him into clubs, but as he says, that goodwill only goes so far. That means his upcoming hour special for Comedy Central, Women ...

While last year's Oscars certainly held its share of Geeky Moments, overall, we were pretty annoyed by it. But we've got Ellen DeGeneres hosting this year! And for that we're thankful. Though she's gonna have to pull out the stops to beat the tag-team that was Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at the Golden Globes. Without further ado, here are the nominations for the 2014 Academy Awards. 

From hazy Pre-Raphaelite beauty to shadowy baroque allegory, this short film weaves hundreds of years of art history into an amazing and unsettling narrative of human beauty. Directed and animated by Rino Stefano Tagliafierro (previously at BB), it is "a path of sighs through the emotions of life, a tribute to the art and her disarming beauty."

Tagliafierro also has an awesome tumblr full of GIFs.
