Sen'Derrick Marks SELECTED BY: Titans Round 2 (30)

SI Grade 3.59 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded second-team all-Conference honors as a junior after totaling 32/10/2. Sophomore totals included 44/9/2 after 36/10.5/3.5 in 2006 when he was named to several freshman all-Conference and All-American teams.

POSITIVES: Explosive one-gap defensive lineman with ability as a three-technique tackle. Bends his knees, plays with excellent pad level and shows an array of moves working to get off blocks. Fluid moving about the field, squirts through the small gaps of the offensive line and nicely redirects to the action. Displays good footwork moving laterally, quickly changes direction and fluid if asked to twist or stunt.

NEGATIVES: Inconsistent first-step quickness, and does not always explode off the ball. Controlled at the point and very slow to shed blocks once engaged at the point of attack.

ANALYSIS: Marks is a solid athlete who plays with great quickness showing the ability up the field or out to the flanks. His size and lack of growth potential will be a problem for certain teams, yet he offers potential as a starter in a conventional lineup.
