There's this little analysis thing with Explosion # and Productivity Ratio that tends to be a "predictor" of success for DE/LB. Basham falls well short of the explosion # threshold of 70 at 56.4. He meets the productivity threshold of 1.0 at 1.31, but at a lower level of competition. Given that, it is unlikely he becomes a good player in the NFL. I'm not going to say he won't, but it's something to think about.
I had started calculating these for all the Edge players in the draft but got lazy and only finished the productivity ratios. I'll try and finish the rest today and post it for you.
