If there was a player with DeMarcus Ware-like potential available in this draft, would you pick him?
About a month ago, we looked at the Production Ratio for defensive linemen to figure out who could be a potential playmaker for the Cowboys defense. That post was based on some interesting work done by KaptainKirk, a staff writer for SB Nation's Mile High Report.
The Production Ratio is great for distilling a couple of key stats likes games played, sacks and tackles for loss into one simple number. With the plethora of numbers generated by the defensive linemen at the Combine I was looking for some measures that would help me make sense of all those many numbers.
Thankfully, KaptainKirk came through again, and proposed an Explosion Number that combines another three numbers into one simple measure. An additional measure that I've found useful to look at is Lateral Agility, and after the break we look at all three measures to see if they can help us identify some potential playmakers in the 2011 draft...
