Analysis
What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about MARLON DAVIDSON before he made the Atlanta Falcons' Depth Chart: Auburn, 6033 303 5.03. Four-year starter, Greenville, AL. Davidson may not be an ideal fit for a cut and dry scheme, but with the amount of teams looking to “get multiple” in relation to their looks, he can be a key target. He is a tweener without a true position and lacks a standout strength, but he can fill in to multiple spots and perform well. Is a powerful force who can create mismatches and do some of the dirty work to keep others clean and unoccupied. The reliable and caliber of a player that every good defense needs. Country strong versatile defender with multiple skill sets and tools that can be utilized in a variety of ways. Powerful punch off the snap. Fast to get his hands on the blocker first with full control of the engagement. Long arms, heavy hands, able to keep the hips low and chest up. Consistent force between the tackles. Can swing outside and power rush the edge. Effective bull rusher that makes a habit out of pushing the blocker into the pocket. Has an array of moves he can call upon. Goes in with a plan but can always adjust and revert to the power moves. Has a nose for the ball. Can work through traffic via his eyes, anticipation, and sheer force. Shows the ability to finish. Will close a gap fast, has the next gear when needed. Can be a force on special teams. Won’t make a difference as a pure edge rusher. Lacks explosion vertically out of his stance. Feet can get heavy at times. 2019 stats: 48 T, 12.5 TFL, 7.5 sacks, 1 PBU, 5 QBH, 2 FF. OSR:20/ 25. Second/third round. (A-33, H-10, BP-21, 10-1.80).
