3-4 Defenses and the 2011 Draft
NFL Draft
February 28th 2011
Almost half of the NFL are running 3-4 defenses of some description, so clearly there is demand for players to fit these systems. Within the 3-4 defense you have more than the one system each with different responsibilities for the defensive lineman. As we start to get into “Mock Madness” season it seems an opportune time to have a look at the different types of defense that are around in the NFL and which prospects fit best into which scheme(s) along the defensive line…

 The question with Colin McCarthy (Miami (Fl.)) was speed, but this was answered with the fastest time in this group (just shading under 4.6). The remainder of the workout was also very good, with the only blip being a below average bench (23 reps). He certainly helped himself and will have got rid of the ‘better player than athlete tag’… ( full article )

The headline from this group was Jordan Cameron (USC).

He has a nice combination of speed (excellent 40 time) and quickness (top shuttle) with everything else being good other than his bench which was above average.

 Louisville RB Bilal Powell only ran for 392 yards last year he eclipsed that mark in two of his games this season and has now run for over 1,200 yards on the season. While he’s a rising prospect it must be remembered that he is a one season wonder and you do have temper any enthusiasm over this season with his first three years.

He has a top burst off the edge and also had some success with rushing the passer up the middle.

Utah RB Matt Asiata can be a little slow to get going, but has power and is tough to tackle. Week 11 wasn’t the best game for him as Utah were trailing and thus weren’t looking to run the ball that much in the second half.

He has a nice back pedal and can break out of it quickly. He’s also a reliable and physical tackler who came up and got involved in the run game a bunch. Further down the field he’s still physical so he will have to adjust to the 5 yard contact rule at the next level but he’s able to get himself in good position and then turn for the ball.

Dell has good size at 6’2″, 200 lbs and he also moved well in this one getting separation in his routes consistently he also looked to have some power after the catch. He was able to set his man up nicely on double moves catching a TD in this manner and also a 18 yard post-corner route.

He has good range and is good in coverage but as soon as he gets a body on him he’s generally controlled and that’s a real concern.

 LSU DT Drake Nevis is a fast rising prospect making the most of his increased playing time and he could very well find himself taken in the first round come 2011. He was dominant in the first half this week particularly coming up with two sacks and camping out in the Florida backfield. His quick burst off the ball will appeal to 4-3 teams and I would imagine his 10 yard split time in the 40 yard dash at the combine will be quick.
