Auburn's Marks says he'll declare

Auburn defensive tackle Sen'derrick Marks says he'll declare for the 2009 draft. It's not obvious where he will fall come draft day. He totalled just 3 sacks in his junior year and is a 4-3 three technique pass rusher. The Seahawks could really do with finding a big body to fill up some space which Marks isn't. He's appeared on various mocks in the top two rounds but more realistically he's a second day pick.

Not sure I'd agree that Marks is a 2nd day pick, although he may go in the 2nd round. He's only around 290 last bio I looked at, but he has played end before and might be a fit for a 4-3 as an end. The only tackle to get excited about early is the Alabama kid Terrence Cody. Any word on if he's leaning toward coming out?

Nighthawk - I think Raji from Boston College is going to be a good DT at the NFL level. Not at 4th overall of course but likely in the first round. Last I heard about Cody was that he is returning to Bama for his senior season.

I can't see Marks as a second rounder. If he's lucky he might slip into the late second. That's why I graded him as a second day pick. He's essentially a pass rushing tackle who works in a 4-3 scheme. Four sacks for a pass rushing DT won't enamour many teams, but in the same way guys like Mebane drop to the third round Marks is likely the same.

One thing to consider is that college is so about the spread, shotgun formations, and quick outlet passes that sack totals period are pretty low. Glenn Dorsey never put up big sack numbers, IIRC. Think he had 4 sacks as a junior. I mean, Zac Robinson was sacked 15 times in 2008, the Tulsa kid only 18... neither team has too much NFL talent on their line.

I've only caught one game of Marks, against Herman Johnson when I was scouting Johnson, but he put an absolute clinic on against a very good line. From what little I saw, I was impressed, and now that he's going pro (thanks Rob, I hadn't read this anywhere else!) I'll have to scout him thoroughly.
