*****The Dorian O'Daniel Thread*****

More to come...

Quote:
Overview
Athletic linebackers like O'Daniel are earning high marks from NFL scouts because they need to cover the middle of the field in passing situations. ACC coaches recognized O'Daniel's talent in 2017, naming him second-team all-conference after he led the Tigers with 103 tackles, including 11.5 for loss and five sacks, as well as three pass breakups in 14 starts. One of the top outside linebacker recruits in the nation after an excellent high school career in the Washington, D.C. metro area (all-state in Maryland with 1,307 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns as senior, 16.5 tackles for loss, five sacks as junior). O'Daniel redshirted in 2013, and then got into the action regularly as a freshman, starting once and leading the team with 13 special teams tackles (had 31 total stops, sack) in 12 games played. He once again paced the team with 19 special teams stops in 2015, and was credited with 32 total tackles in 15 games as a reserve. Given a chance to play more on defense as a junior (10 starts in 15 games), O'Daniel used his quickness and tenacious nature to make 60 stops, 10 for loss, and 2.5 sacks.

What O'Daniel lacks in size and speed at the linebacker spot, he makes up for with production and consistency. He may not have the tools to become a quality full-time starter at linebacker, but his outstanding career as a special teams cover talent could be enough to earn him a roster spot and a place in the league for years to come.

Strengths
  • Madman on special teams
  • Finished career with 48 special teams tackles and most of them in kick coverage
  • Has a gift for playing past kick return blocks and maintaining focus on the returner
  • Technically sound as tackler
  • Sees what he hits and drives upper body into target while wrapping to finish
  • Possesses agility for lateral tackles against cutback runs
  • Hustles to contain against perimeter runs
  • Offers versatility
  • Played near the line and matched up on slot targets
  • Redirects routes with force
  • Reads and squeezes from zone
  • Finished 2017 with seven passes defensed including two pick-six interceptions

Weaknesses
  • Just one season as starter
  • Has the frame of a big safety, but is an average athlete in space
  • Is a little sluggish in his directional change and needs a runway to get accelerate to top speed
  • Pursuit speed is below par
  • Often blocked by smaller slot players against spread rushing attacks
  • Needs to prove he can beat blocks near the line of scrimmage on next level
  • Gives up separation when matched in man coverage
  • Plays upright and needs to do better job of anticipating routes

Dorian O’Daniel signs rookie deal with Kansas City Chiefs

Quote:
The Kansas City Chiefs are down to only one rookie left to sign with news that linebacker Dorian O’Daniel had inked his first contract on Tuesday.
Dorian O’Daniel is the latest member of the Kansas City Chiefs draft class to sign his rookie deal, as news came of his agreement on Tuesday. The news means that only third round pick Derrick Nnadi, a defensive tackle out of Florida State, remains unsigned from the Chiefs class of 2018.

O’Daniel, who was also a third round pick at No. 100 overall, is a linebacker out of Clemson who profiles as a hybrid player, someone expected to serve the Chiefs in several roles on special teams and defense. He was the third player selected by the Chiefs in the first three rounds, all of whom could be classified as front seven help along with Nnadi and second round choice Breeland Speaks.

The Chiefs have not held back in their praise and hopes for O’Daniel after selecting him, but the former Tiger should know a thing or two about living up to high expectations having won a national championship during his collegiate career.


O’Daniel profiles well as a safety or extra linebacker in coverage, a player who can be assigned on tight ends or spying on the quarterback. His special teams coverage play will also come in handy, and it’s possible that he contends for reps with Daniel Sorensen, a player who has been utilized in similar situations by the Chiefs for the last few years.

Sorensen signed a four-year deal when John Dorsey was general manager a year ago for a cool $16 million. One year into the deal, the Chiefs might be looking to wiggle out of it if they can find similar results on the cheap—which O’Daniel certainly classifies as. One year of Sorensen will be more than what the Chiefs will pay O’Daniel for the duration of his first four years in the NFL.

O’Daniel had 88 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries last year for Clemson.

I think this guy could end up being the best draft pick this year in terms of early contributions.

Cam Chancellor type player.

I don't necessarily agree with the comparison, I don't think O'Daniel is any where near as physical as Chancellor coming out of college. I think O'Daniel actually is a little bit of a better athlete than Kam but perhaps you are referring to their ability to play multiple positions on defense- I'd be surprised if you saw O'Daniel anywhere near the safety position though.

He's a hybrid linebacker that won't get overwhelmed in the run game (aka Sorenson last season), and is used to covering players out of the backfield and slot (used in the slot quite often at Clemson last season). I think in 3 WR sets O'Daniel is a must have on the field due to his versatility.

100% agree that he will be the best pick in our 2018 draft- could be wrong but he is who I am most excited about.

I like the Deion Jones comparison. I love it that he’s got a ton of slot experience bc we really need to boost coverage in the middle of the field.

I think Veach’s plan was to bolster the middle of the field. Stop the run and improve coverage to limit TE’s and YAC on crossing routes.

Force QB’s to make hard throws outside of the numbers.

I think he'll play that hybrid LB/S role similar to Kam.

People are worried about our defense lacking this year, but it really won't be bad at all if guys can stay healthy. Sure Sutton is a dumbass, but the talent on the field is actually pretty dang good right now.

I have a good feeling about this guy. There are a lot of things that I saw in his videos that were missing from the Chiefs defense last season.

I think he will have an influence and I expect him to contribute immediately.

Dee Ford sucks, Houston has no help and is on the decline.

Depth at that CB position outside of Fuller is trash and Berry is coming back from a major inj.

Will the Chiefs stop the run?

There are multiple serious reasons why this D could suck ass this season.
