Dri Archer, RB/WR/KR, Kent State, Senior:
40 time:[B] 4.

if the blocking isn't there, don't expect Archer to be able to create plays by himself like power runners such as Lynch and AP can.
Insightful.

He can be easily tripped THAT'S ****ING ILLEGALby opposing players and doesn't get very many yards after contact. For a player of his stature, he runs too high most of the time which negates any power he might have; it also affects his balance on some cuts and prevents him from translating his explosive power laterally. He runs like a track guy, elite straight-line speed but just average cutting power and ability. Sometimes, like Barry Sanders, he tries too hard to make a big play and ends up losing yards instead.

Overview: For Archer to succeed in the NFL, he will have to do it in the slot position and as a kick returner. He'll have to make the switch like McCluster did and dedicate himself to becoming a good WR. I believe that his perfect fit would actually be with us, the Kansas City Chiefs, because Reid's offensive scheme really takes advantage of getting players open in space instead of always trying to force guys to win their 1 on 1 match-ups. Archer could provide us with the game breaking plays that only Charles is currently able to produce on a regular basis. I would have no problem with drafting Archer as soon as the 4th round as long as Reid has a plan for him.


An excellent effort.
