the 2011 NFL DRAFT has 2 Difference MAKERS at Defensive TAckle.......in Auburn's Nick Fairley and Bama's Marcell Darius.......2 TOP 10 PICKS for sure

WHERE will they go?.........What team will pick them?....They have been told anywhere from Pick #1 -Pick #10.........but regardless they are Big-Time Man-Eaters at Defensive Tackle.

Talking the 2 best Defensive Tackle Prospects in this year NFL DRAFT in Auburn's Nick FAIRLEY and Bama's Marcell DARIUS. Both had excellent combines and really good PRO-DAYS at their respective schools. Now let's look at the tale of the TAPE:

Marcell DARIUS DT ALABAMA 6-3 319lbs

Strengths:
Power rusher up the middle
Excellent closing speed for his size
Collapses the pocket
can shed blockers
Versatile and extremely disciplined on attack

Weaknesses:
Character issues
On Film Upright at times
Hasn't started too many games at 'BAMA

He is a 3-4 Nose TACKLE in a 3-4 Scheme......played Nick Saban's 3-4 at 'BAMA


Nick FAIRLEY DT AUBURN 6-4 297lbs

Strengths:
Unflappable motor...always going and happy about it
explosive at the point of attack....as illustrated in BCS NAt'l Championship game vs OREGON
Very good vs the RUN versatile schematically
In GAPS all the time....led SEC in tackles for losses
long arms
quick off the snap...good anticipation


Weaknesses:
JUCO TRANSFER only 2 years at a MAJOR with quick results
Work Ethic under scrutiny
Too many personal fouls....gets caught up in too many antics

As you see both of these players played in the BEST CONFERENCE in football the SEC......and they had overwhelming results. Now can this translate to the next level......it's always a crap shoot because you do not know what a young man will do with new found FAME and FORTUNE.......but that's part of the DEAL........But both are a LOCK to be TOP 10 picks and will get called within the 1st hour of the draft........NO DOUBT

And as for the WARREN SAPP comparisons.....if you are going to compare them to a dominant defensive lineman of recent time......#99 from the 'U" is your guy....and SAPP was not even in the NFL TOP 100.....BS
