Justin Walton is one of the top centers that will be drafted in 2010 NFL Draft. What Ourlads Scouting Services LLC has to say:
A three-year starter that transferred from Arizona State. Has done both the shotgun snap in the spread and conventional snap to the quarterback under center. Position/wall off type blocker. Creates inside running lanes by turning the down defender. Solid on the block back or "choke" block. Plays on his feet. Good agility and balance in close quarters. Plays with a good base and works to finish his blocks. Will drop his head at times in pass protection but generally slides and adjusts his mirror to wall off defender. Good hand quickness to lock out and position hands on the breast plate and get push on his target. Strong and crafty, but needs to be more consistent with his ability to recover and anchor in pass protection.

Sergio Kindle has the raw talent to be an All Pro outside pass rusher according to Ourlads Scouting Services LLC:
A talented but troubled pass rusher that will be a two-year starter if he makes it through the 2009 season without incident. He crashed his car into an apartment building in June. In 2007 he was arrested on a drunken driving charge. Could contribute as a pass rushing defensive end or a strong side linebacker on the next level. A high maintenance player that tallied 10 sacks and 12 ½ tackles for loss. A good athlete that has natural edge pass rushing ability. Sudden first step quickness. Can accelerate off a block and burst to the ball carrier. Out of control as a tackler at times. He must be accounted for in an offense’s blocking schemes. Could be a dominating 3-4 edge pass rushing right end if he grows up.
