School: Miami (FL)

40-Yard Dash:
Strengths:
- Has a good combination of size, strength, speed, and athleticism
- Good pass-rushing skills, strong bull rusher
- Solid burst off the line, great initial quickness
- Uses excellent leverage to hold his ground at the point of attack against the run
- Gives full effort on every play
- Could play either end or defensive tackle
Weaknesses:
- Lacks the elite speed to be a dominant 4-3 defensive end
- Needs to add bulk to play defensive tackle
- Struggles at times to get off blocks
Bottom Line on Allen Bailey:
Allen Bailey played a lot of defensive end at Miami, but he has the versatility to play either end or defensive tackle in a 4-3. He's probably best suited, however, to play defensive end in a 3-4 set.
Projection: Bailey has the potential to be a solid contributor at the NFL level, but he doesn't strike me as a guy who is going to be a huge impact player. Therefore, he is probably a late-first rounder at best, and may not be taken off the board until late in the second round.
