A 4 man front has more fatties at the LOS than a 3 man front which makes it easier to defend the run. Here is an example of the weight difference for a typical NFL defenses: 3 man front: Donald (285), Poe (350), walker/devito (305) = 940lbs 4 man front: 285 end, poe (350), Donald (285), 300 end = 1220 the defensive line is lining up against 5 x 300lb offensive lineman = 1500 lbs. |

A hell of a lot more than we need someone who just occupies space like Jackson and Devito did last year. How great was our run defense btw with all of that "beef" and nothing beyond Poe as far as a potential disruptive presence in the opponent's backfield on run plays? We were 22nd in total yards in run defense. 24th in YPC with a 4.5 YPC average. Sorry, but I'm done with DL men who can only occupy space and blockers. I want an Aaron Donald who has not only demonstrated the ability to take up blockers, but can also make the plays in the backfield himself. |

dude was completely unblocked (77 doesnt even touch him and pulls to the left). The center hikes the ball and than pulls, and the offense tried to have the LG block from so far away. It was a terrible offensive call more than any success by Donald.

a rookie being the fastest, quickest, and most explosive interior lineman in the league? bullshit until proven otherwise. |

Closest I can think of would be Geno Atkins and Henry Melton. Donald ran an official 4.68 40 at the combine with a 7.11 3-cone drill. Atkins ran an official 4.75 40 at the combine with a 7.33 3-cone drill. Melton ran a 4.64 at his Pro Day at 269 pounds. Donald's workout was on par with Clowney and Greg Robinson as far as athletic freaks went this year. To top it off, Donald demonstrates better technique at his position than either of those two currently have at their respective positions. Donald is the most pro-ready DL player in this draft. It's not a stretch to say that if he were 2 inches taller and even 5 pounds heavier people would be talking about him as a top 5 prospect and potential #1 overall pick. Instead, he's a 6'1", 285 pounds, with nearly 33" arms DT who runs and moves like a linebacker with the power of a DT and has the tape to support it. |
