2011 NFL Draft Defensive Value Chart

by Jon Dove on Apr 26, 2011 12:00 PM EDT

It is very rare to get a good look at an NFL teams draft board. However, it appears that a lot of teams are using a value chart which gives a breakdown based on round value. The Value Chart shows what players fit a specific round which helps teams identify if they are reaching for a prospect.

For example, I have Cameron Heyward as a 1st round defensive lineman so if I were to select him in the 2nd round he would equal great value. This chart would come in handy if a team was looking to address specific needs but would be less valuable to a team that likes to pick the best player available. NFL teams need to utilize two boards in order to be completely organized and ensure they make the right selection. This board is developed after months and months of evaluations and gathering information.

After the jump, you will find my defensive value chart which covers 3 rounds. Check it out and provide some feedback.

Rd	Defensive End	Defensive Tackle	Linebacker	Cornerback	Safety
1st	Da'Quan Bowers Robert Quinn Cam Jordan JJ Watt Ryan Kerrigan Aldon Smith Justin Houston Cameron Heyward Adrian Clayborn	Marcell Dareus Nick Fairley Corey Liuget Muhammad Wilkerson Phil Taylor	Von Miller Akeem Ayers Mason Foster	Patrick Peterson Prince Amukamara Jimmy Smith Brandon Harris Aaron Williams
2nd	Sam Acho Christian Ballard	Stephen Paea Marvin Austin Jarvis Jenkins	Martez Wilson Bruce Carter Brooks Reed Jabaal Sheard Quan Sturdivant	Ras-I Dowling Curtis Brown Johnny Patrick	Rahim Moore
3rd	Allen Bailey	Drake Nevis Jurrell Casey Terrell McClain Kendric Ellis	Dontay Moch Colin McCarthy	Marcus Gilchrist Josh Thomas Kendric Burney	Jaiquawn Jarrett Quinton Carter

You still have Bowers as the top DE?

Or are these not in order other than the by-round grouping?

they are in order. Despite the knee questions I still have him as my top defensive end… also yeah character plays a role in these evaluations.

OK thanks

then I can see McDaniel drop out of this, but if I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone go for him in the 3rd, possibly late second

So Houston and Ballard tested positive for Marijuana

3. Ballard
