Darius Stills generally plays inside as a three-technique or a one-technique. He appears better working as a 2i with an inside shade on the guard. His quickness off of the snap and his explosive get off are tough for guards to match on the inside. He beats offensive linemen to the punch and can get to the inside shoulder quickly to turn and get the offensive lineman in a chase position. Stills is best as a pass rusher. He uses his hands really well and has a solid counter and rushes with a thought-out plan. He can be used as a pocket mover in the passing game that can penetrate up the middle and cause the quarterback to move off of his spot and get him uncomfortable. This will help outside edge rushers to get pressure on the opposing team’s quarterback.
Weaknesses
Darius Stills doesn’t lack strength but he can find himself getting stood up and being outmatched by stronger offensive linemen. His biggest struggles are in the running game when he’s trying to squeeze lanes or take on double teams. He doesn’t have the overall technique or the game-changing strength to get off of blocks consistently and make plays in the trenches. He will be used purely as a pass rusher from the interior at the next level.
Should be there in Round 4 or 5 I would think.
Sounds about right for what we need. Just don't use him on rushing downs early on is all. We need a pass rushing DT,
Stills is this type. Boogie Basham in the 2nd and Darius Stills in the 4th or 5th and our pass rush is upgraded most likely.
A draft starting out like this would be awesome IMO...
1st - Sewell
2nd - Basham
3rd - Tylan Wallace/Jaelon Darden
4th - Darius Stills
Get Thuney/Daryl Williams in FA with another 4-3 End.
