2006 scouting report
Strengths: Is aggressive and fills hard against the run. Has good speed and a great motor. Gets through traffic and to the ball quickly. Is fearless, explodes into hits and forces some fumbles. Shows good range and burst to the ball in zone coverage. Will punish receivers over the middle. Anticipates snaps and is an efficient and effective blitzer.
Weaknesses: Can be too aggressive and lacks recognition skills. Misses some tackles going for the big hit. Lacks fluid hips and ideal lateral mobility in man-to-man coverage. Doesn’t have great ball skills.
Bottom Line: Archuleta’s back problems and discipline are ongoing concerns, but he excels in run support and holds his own in zone coverage.
