11. MARKUS GOLDEN | Missouri 6023|260 lbs|5SR St. Louis, Mo. (Afton HS) 3/13/1991 (age 24) #33
GRADE 4th-5th Round
BACKGROUND: After a rocky high school career, which included him quitting football at one point, Golden zeroed his sights on Missouri (his “dream school”), but he didn’t have the grades and enrolled at Hutchinson Community College. He was a standout JUCO performer as a freshman in 2010 before redshirting in 2011 to focus on academics. A three-star JUCO recruit, Golden didn’t bother taking any visits, committing to Missouri as soon as he was offered, playing a reserve outside linebacker role in 2012 as a sophomore. He moved to defensive end in 2013 as a junior and served as Michael Sam’s back-up, playing approximately 40% of the snaps, but still managed double-digit tackles for loss (13.0) and finished third on the team in sacks (6.5). With Kony Ealy and Sam off to the NFL, Golden became the starting left defensive end as a senior in 2014 and finished second on the team in tackles for loss (20.0) and sacks (10.0), leading the team in forced fumbles (three) and fumble recoveries (three) and earning Second Team All-SEC honors. He earned an invitation to the 2015 Senior Bowl.
STRENGTHS: Good flexibility and athleticism off the edge with excellent initial momentum…uses his upper and lower body in unison – coordinated and always in marriage…moves well up and down the line of scrimmage, mirroring the ball and showing lateral footwork to maneuver around bodies…superb run defender with good backfield vision and anticipation to quickly locate, staying square to the line…sets the edge and plays like a veteran, showing terrific recognition skills to pick up offensive tendencies throughout the course of a game…delivers pop off the snap to work off blocks with arm techniques, disrupting and pushing the pocket – tough to slow his momentum once he gains an inch…violent tackler and loves to finish, doing a nice job collecting himself in space and breaking down…takes smart angles to the play and closes well with constant pursuit to the ball – very active with a motor that’s always revving…strong football and personal character and a goal driven individual – was forced to grow up at an early age and already carries himself like a professional…highly productive with 143 total tackles, 33.0 tackles for loss and 16.5 sacks over just 13 starts.
WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal height and arm length with an average frame and limited growth potential for the position…lacks above average explosive traits off the edge with average change of direction skills – clear hip and joint tightness when redirecting his momentum…not overpowering once locked up and can be driven backwards, lacking the brute upper body strength to routinely shed blocks – will get pushed around in a crowd…needs to improve his hand technique once engaged to better work off contact…will rush too high and out of control at times – needs to show a more consistent pass rush plan…needs to do a better job working pass rush moves into his strategy…only one full season as a starter, missing one game (vs. Indiana) due to a hamstring injury – limited workout at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine due to a left hamstring strain.
SUMMARY: Although his football journey hit a few snags, Golden was determined to play at Missouri and he waited his turn before producing an excellent senior campaign that was somewhat overlooked due to Shane Ray’s success opposite him. Golden lacks the explosive traits of other edge rush prospects and doesn’t have a consistent rush plan, but he plays with the energy, relentless attitude and toughness to be effective. He holds up well vs. the run with his ability to locate and deliver a pop to make stops, working hard to stay involved in the play. Golden is highly driven and goal oriented – the type of person who sets his mind on something and achieves it. Although he isn’t an elite size/speed/strength rusher, Golden is good-enough in all three areas with the well-rounded skills to be a run stopper and pass rusher, ideally suited at right defensive end in a 4-3 scheme or possibly standing up at linebacker in a 3-4.Comment

Cowboys are going to pick Tevin ColemanOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
