Looking at his film. This man will be a stud at the next level, regardless of height. Yeah he might be 6'0 feet, but he will still dominate so as long as he plays in a 4-3 system. His strength, use of hands, vision, speed(quick first step), and how he sheds blocks. Sets him up to be a monster of a run stuffer/pass rusher at the NFL level. He's pretty much a linebacker playing at the line of scrimmage. Especially going after the quarterback. That's his bread, and butter. Big DTs like Vince Wilfork, Dontari Poe, and Haloti Ngata. Are only required in 3-4 system. To fill the gap, and push the pile. Hence the emphasis on the size, and strength. However Donald can have similar disruption playing a Geno Atkins type of role in a 4-3. It really all depends on who drafts him, and how he's utilize.

Good takes. I feel he would be a perfect fit for a 3-4 team as a defensive end though, as well. I feel he is scheme diverse, talent and determination are a tough combination to beat.

@michaelm123810 жыл бұрын
I really hope so. He seems to work hard and have a lot of talent, his center of gravity is low so he immediately has control off the push and his speed and size makes him disruptive. He also isn't as dynamic as Jadeveon Clowney. I think Clowney is a show boat after doing what he did at the combine treating it like nothing. The Bears do not need that kind of player, we need a strong, humble, hard working player.

If this guy makes it to the Patriots, they should draft him. They need another disruptive presence to hold the run with Big Vince, as well as a sack guy. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get picked up in by a team before the 20th pick though. Even though he doesn't have the size to match up with most DT's he is still an athletic beast, and whoever drafts him will get a hold of a dominant player. Hope he can keep it up for the NFL

BTW: I think Dallas would be interested in Melton because of Marinelli and he grew up in the Dallas area. It's interesting.

Sinbad Jefferson I keep seeing this nonsense. Falcons fans must be loony. I love the play of Aaron Donald but he is not a first round prospect and Falcons fans are talking about taking him 6th overall. What is wrong with you people? Furthermore any teams that is running a 3-4 defense is not going to give Donald a high grade. The only teams that will reach for this guy in the first round are teams like Dallas, Philadelphia but they just drafted Fletcher Cox recently, Cinncinatti but they have Atkins, Carolina but they already have a very good defense, Denver or Seattle. When you get down to Denver and Seattle, that's about where Donald should be. So realistically the only team to reach for Donald is the Dallas Cowboys.
