Continueation of http://daddyleagues.com/redzone/blog/news/19822/Roster-Breakdown---Offense

Defensive Line - B

Defensive Ends - B+
Ndamukong Suh - 32 years old and 93 overall. Suh might be our best player on defense and maybe the team. Suh is aging and is commanding a 20+ mill contract. If Suh wasn't on the defensive line, this group would be the weakness of this team. Strong and can shut down any runs to his side. Valueable but needs help.

Jordan Phillips - 26 years old and 77 overall. Jordan is a huge man at 6'6 and fits the long defensive ends that we want. Doesn't stuff the run as well as we'd like. Currently a slightly below average 3-4 defense end but could end up average at age 27-28.

Chip Watkins - 22 years old and 72 overall. Super young, but with a lack of 3-4 end builds, adds a young body to develop. Needs to improve his run stopping ability but is very young in his career.

J.T. Conley - 24 years old and 67 overall. Has better pass rush ability then both Watkins and Phllips, but poor in stopping the run. Has the size and length to play 3-4 DE but needs to improve run stopping ability. Rotational player

Nose Tackle - C+
Ian Williams - 30 years old and 81 overall. Williams is undersized and underweight, but his 93 strength and 88 block shedding gives him a shot to make plays. One of our best run stuffers, Ians has played both NT and DE, but is really suited for a 4-3. Has another year on his contract and will sick as a 1st 2nd down player.

Grover Stewart - 25 years old and 75 overall. Proto type NT build. Below avg run stopper and pass rush. Has time to develop and has the size we target. Will need to hit 80 blockshed to stick.

Linebackers - B

Inside
Raekwon McMillan - 22 years old and 83 overall. McMillan was a breakout player for us this season. Took a season to develop his tackling to make sure we had a solid tackling linebacker group. Came in as a 20 year old player with speed, will be one of this defenses best players till the end of the cycle. Can cover, fast, and strong.

Kiko Alonso - 29 years old and 82 overall. Has been a play making inside linebacker for us since the start. Getting old, but still has respectable none user speed at 81. A bit better in coverage than McMillan. Prolly has another season starting for us under his belt but has moved from #1 MLB to #2.

T.J. Peterson - 23 years old and 69 overall. Fast and very strong, but has almost no coverage abilities. Needs to improve tackling. Could be a nice user linebacker but will need to get coverages, and tackling up to see more play time. May not make the roster.

Jayon Brown - 24 years old and 67 overall. Had tackling issues. Fixed, but now needs to improve play req and awr. Is a season away from being a reliable player, but could fill Kiko's shoes.

Rush - D+
Charles Harris - 24 years old and 74 overall. Came into the season as the Wake replacement, but underwelmed. Played better as the seaosn progressed. Better suited for a 4-3 end as he can not cover. Did not see the field unless he was rushing. Has another season to dev to smooth over the flaws but will need a break out season to be in our long term plans.

Shaq Riddick - 26 years old and 69 overall. High rush ability and good speed kept Shaq on the roster. Hasn't shown enough to leap frog any of the starters. May not make it on the roster.

Ellis Miller - 24 years old and 70 overall. Major project player. Huge standing at 6'7 and fast with 85 speed. Miller needs alot to hit his pass rushing potiential but like Harris has 0 coverage ability. With as much work as he needs, may not make the roster for the long term.

Trevardo Williams - 28 years old and 69 overall. 1 dimensional player. Very low play req and awr along with coverage ability, but is super fast and has 87 finesse move. Situational pass rusher at most that will regress now that hes 28. Unlikley to make the roster with amount of rushers that have no coverage skills.

Joker - B+
Francis Bedell -24 years old and 75 overall. Bedell was a break out star for us with 21 sacks. Probably our best coverage linebacker. Needs to improve tackling and block shedding, but has a ton of versatility and will be a mainstay of this defense at the Joker spot. Super fast, good rusher, with above average coverage ability for a linebacker.

Defensive Backs - B+

Cornerbacks - B
Verlon Morgan - 23 years old and 83 overall. Morgan started off rough but got into a groove as the season progressed. Best corner out of his class, should dev into one of the best corners in the league. Needs to improve press to achieve what we want, but as a ton of dev time ahead of him.

Cordrea Tankersley - 25 years old and 80 overall. Tanker is tall and fast. Needs a bit more press, but does what we need him to do. Our big receiver defensder, Tanker has the speed and length for the Julio types of the league and will continue to do that for us.

Xavien Howard - 26 years old and 80 overall. Tough nosed corner, but has lost his starting spoyt to Morgan. Decreasing man and press skills but still a solid corner. Good depth player as he is a starter on most teams.

Jerron Montgomery - 24 years old and 72 overall. Short and kinda slow, Jerron was our nickle being one of the best man coverage corners in his UDFA class. Needs to attack the ball, needs to improve his press, and play req and awr. Will not be an outside corner but can lock down the underneath routes.

Tony Lippett - 27 years old and 78 overall. Tony is a huge corner but is really ment for a cover 3 scheme as hes a zone defender. Slow, but has decent man/zone/press skills. Possibly could transiiton to FS and be a TE killer. Most likely will see the open market.

Free Safety - B+

T.J. Green - 24 years old and 87 overall. TJ is the premier center feilder in the redzone. 93 speed and 6'3 speed gives him the range and length to attack deep balls on a regular basis. A building block player, Green is the key continueing with this cover 1 scheme.

Jaylen Watkins - 27 years old and 78 overall. Watkins is fast at 91 speed and has good coverage skills. Could start for most team. Will play SS on passing downs in place of one of the run stuffers. Price tag in the offseason will dictate if he sticks.

Bryant Brooking - 23 years old and 74 overall. Bryant is 1 speed lower then Watkins but has just as good coverage and a few more seasons of deving ahead of him. Will take over the SS role on passing downs is Watkins is not kept.

Strong Safety - B

Reshad Jones - 31 years old and 91 overall. Jones has forced a ton os fumble over the middle, but his speed may catch up to him. High price tag for an aging player. Jones could find a new home in the offseason depending on regression.

T.J. McDonald JR - 28 years old and 81 overall. TJ is Jones replacement. Heavy hitter with a bit more speed and good coverage skills. Will be a 1 season fill in as Olsen developes, but should bring the same hitting force as Jones.

Montrae Olsen - 23 years old and 75 overall. Weakest hitter of the strong safety group, but only because TJ and Jones are such heavy hitters. Olsen is our long term answer at SS. Fast, big, and can cover. Just needs another season to get at the level of TJ.
