David Bailey NFL Draft Profile | Strengths, Weaknesses, Stats & Best Fits

Описание: We break down Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey's elite film, insane 38.6% pass rush win rate (HIGHEST among Power 4 edges, crushing Rueben Bain's 30.3%), 81 pressures in fewer reps than anyone in the nation, workman-like attitude with zero wasted movements, and why the Titans, Commanders, and Bengals should draft him.

🎬 DAVID BAILEY FILM BREAKDOWN
The Tape: Lightning quick first step with strong hands and devastating rip move. Spin move is real asset when tackles kick out fast. Plays the run well with excellent backside pursuit - no wasted movements, no wasted emotion.
Oregon Game Takeover: Watch that Oregon game for the DEFINITION of dominance - blowing up run plays, sacks, fourth-down stops, batted passes, destroying future NFL tackles. This is your NFL cornerstone.

📊 THE STATS - ELITE PRODUCTION
The Numbers: 52 tackles (32 solo), 14.5 sacks, 3 pass deflections, 81 pressures (2nd in nation to Rueben Bain's 83, but in 180 FEWER pass-rushing reps). Only gave up .58 yards per coverage snap in 198 career reps.
Pass Rush Dominance: 38.6% win rate on true passing sets - HIGHEST among Power 4 edges. Rueben Bain was 30.3% for comparison. Also 13th in run stop win rate among P4 edges - concern about his size is silly.

🎯 TOP TEAMS TO DRAFT DAVID BAILEY
Titans: 9th in sack percentage but 28th in defensive EPA per play. Bailey solidifies front line with Jeffrey Simmons, would be great for Robert Saleh. Need defense to take pressure off Cam Ward - this is how you do it.

Commanders: 31st in EPA per dropback last year - watching them was cruel and unusual punishment. Bailey gives them balance on the line with Daronte Jones' aggressive style, alleviates pressure on secondary until they get it right.

Bengals: Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase have been BEGGING for defensive help for years. Don't expect them to re-sign Trey Hendrickson. Shemaer Stewart (last year's 17th pick) was mostly anonymous as rookie - Bailey proves Bengals have competency.

📊 BOTTOM LINE
David Bailey has lightning first step, 38.6% pass rush win rate (best in Power 4), and 81 pressures in fewer reps than anyone. Workman-like attitude with zero wasted movements. Oregon game showed NFL cornerstone ability. Top landing spots: Titans, Commanders, Bengals.
