Aubrayo Franklin

Hey guys,

Eagles fan here. I'm doing this NFL Players draft on Bleeding Green Nation and I need your help about available defensive tackles. How'd Aubrayo Franklin do this year? Was he dominate? Where would you rank him against other 3-4 NT in the league? Strengths and Weaknesses? Your help is much appreciated. Also, who'd you suggest would be a good 3-4 nose tackle that is underrated? Most studs and big name players are gone.

Thanks,

Number5

Franklin had a substantial drop-off in production

this past year. He played well near the end but wasn’t the same as the last year (2009.) If many of the big names are gone, try a Marcell Dareus or Casey Hampton of the Steelers.

Great Player

If O-Lines were sandwiches then Franklin is Jamarcus Russell. If O-Lines were feet then Franklin is Rex Ryan.

He had a little drop off at the beginning of last season because he didn’t attend training camp but I would put him in the top 3 of available NTs.

Franklin was the best NT(top three at least, the best stat-wise) in the league in 2009, but in 2010 he neglected to go through the teams workout program and he was sluggish for the first half of the season, but caught on near the end. Franklin would be a smart signing by most any team, so long as the whole “long term contract” thing doesn’t allow him to slack off.

And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it. ... Always a ninja
