Merged X3: Dolphins draft Jalen Parmele in 6th round

Although he is big and runs with purpose, Parmele lacks the overall power, speed and athleticism to be a featured back at the next level. With a few years of development he has the potential to be a number three back and should be able to contribute on special teams. This is why Parmele projects as a late round pick or rookie free agent.

Overview

Overview Parmele confirmed his status as a late-round or priority free agent with a solid 2007 campaign. He was first-team All-MAC with 1,511 yards and 14 touchdowns, plus an average of 28.0 yards on 20 kickoff returns with one score.

Analysis

Positives: Good upper-body and leg strength. ... A good burst past the line of scrimmage. ... Quick enough feet to slide in the hole to find space. ... Keeps legs moving inside, and will spin and lunge to get extra yards after contact. ... Usually falls forward. ... Potential kick return option because he picks a lane and runs strong through arm tackles.

Negatives: Does not possess breakaway speed. ... Straight-ahead runner who does not plant and drive well on stretch plays. ... Is not a big threat in the receiving game, but can make the occasional catch as a safety valve. ... Is not shifty enough to make a good defender miss in open space or get away from someone penetrating into the backfield. ... Gets in the way, but does not sustain well in pass protection.
