2011 NFL Draft Player Profile | Allen Bailey 

2011 NFL Draft

It’s hard to forget that Allen Bailey was regarded as one of the higher rated recruits of 2007. He was a five star, blue chip prospect and the #7 overall defensive end prospect in the nation, coming out of McIntosh Country Academy.

Bailey played special teams as a freshman, and got in to many games as a sophomore before starting his last two seasons as a Hurricane.

Player Name: Allen Bailey

Position: Defensive End

School: Miami (Fl.)

Height: 6’3

Weight: 285

Arm: 34

Strengths

Bailey has good explosion off of the line of scrimmage. He has a solid bull rush, and is excellent in disrupting the backfield and forcing the ball to go the other way. He has good strength holding the point of attack, and sometimes takes up space, despite being a bit on the light side. He does a nice job of extending his long arms and using his hands well when fighting off of blocks and is a good tackler. He moves well laterally and is a solid athlete for his size. He is versatile, being able to play defensive tackle and defensive end.

Weaknesses

Bailey doesn’t always drive his feet when rushing the passer. He gets controlled by more physical offensive tackles, and he doesn’t show consistent drive on every play. He lacks any great pass rushing moves, being very slow when trying to rip through defenders or trying to swim. He isn’t great at either rushing the passer or stuffing the run. He’s just solid at both. He won’t put up big time statistics at the next level.

Draft Range

Many scouts see Bailey as a potential first round selection. I have him as quite the faller. I can easily see Bailey falling to the 4th round, if not later because he leaves a lot to be desired on the football field. He could rise as high as pick 70, to the Cleveland Browns, although that could be a slight reach. Teams like Tampa Bay, New Orleans, New York (Giants), Detroit, and Philadelphia seem to be great destinations for Bailey.

NFL Comparison: Jason Jones

    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Many thanks

    Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

    Its such as you read my mind! You seem to grasp so much about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe that you could do with some p.c. to force the message home a little bit, however instead of that, that is excellent blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.

    The real goal of health care legislation, the real goal of cap-and-trade, and the real goal of the stimulus is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design.
