The NFL Draft is a little more than week away. We have known this year's prospects for almost four months, but do we really know them? Let's find out with scouting reports on the drafts’ top prospects
Player: Aaron Donald
Summary: A common thing you will hear about Aaron Donald is that if he was two inches taller, he would be in the running for the draft's No. 1 overall pick. Donald is a freak for his size and would be much more talked about if he was taller, but he will be a great player in the NFL anyway. He has the physical tools and skills to be a special defender at the next level.
Pros:
- Excellent pass rush
- Dominate force
- Fast
- Plays pass and run
- Can start right away
Cons:
- Scheme specific
- Shorter
- Can get run over on draws
Pro Comparison: Geno Atkins
Both Donald and Atkins are physical, nasty forces in the middle of defenses, but Atkins is the center point of his team's success. Donald could be that player in a few years, but coming out of college, he should look to take a backseat and learn before having a huge breakout sophomore campaign.
Perfect Fits: Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears
Donald is hard to place because he can't really change positions and isn't versatile by any sense of the word. He will find a home and he will have to decide where he sees himself in the scheme going forward. His career and development could completely rely on his ability to adapt to different schemes and being able to roll with changes.
