Draft Rewind 2006 - Jay Cutler - Chicago Bears

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about JAY CUTLER: Vanderbilt, 6032 228 4.77. Four-year starter. Right handed. Three-time team captain. SEC offensive player of the year. Set numerous career records including total offense (9953 yards), TD passes (59), passing yardage (8697), pass completions (710), pass attempts (1242) and starts by a quarterback (45). Not a finished product. Mechanics are off at times. He never had a chance to set his feet and throw. Somewhat of a sling type delivery. He is a competitive leader who can take a hit and throw accurately under duress. Has the arm strength to make all the throws. He was timed at the Combine on the radar at 60 mph. Has a quick release. A playmaker that can adjust his throws under pressure. The lack of a star-studded surrounding cast may have helped him prepare for the NFL because of all the on-field adjustments that take place in a game. Played in both conventional and shotgun offense. Effective play action passer. Good touch and accuracy on fades and ball control routes. Was the best QB in practice at the Senior Bowl, but was erratic at times. Decision making was questionable at Vanderbilt because he was never able to get in a rhythm. Needs to improve deep ball touch and accuracy. Natural running ability to escape and make something happen. Can scramble and get up field with the ball. First round. (A-31 1/2, H-9 3/8, SS-4.31, VJ-DNP). (originally drafted by Denver)

Returned healthy this past season and had a solid year. A sturdy, muscular, athletic receiver who began his career at quarterback — saw action there in the Sugar Bowl this season.

Was having an excellent season as a first year starter in ’02 before suffering a serious knee injury late in the year. Returned to action as a senior but was not as effective as he had been previously. A patient, instinctive runner. A little deliberate at times, but he reads blocks well and has quick feet for a back his size. Does a good job of cutting laterally and finding holes. Dances a little too much at times. Lacks breakaway speed but he has some ability to bounces plays wide and make defenders miss. Physical runner with good lean. Lowers his pads nicely on contact and delivers a blow. Strong legged.

Has some trouble adjusting on the move to make secure contact. Capable pass protector. Battles a little high but he’s an aggressive puncher who uses his hands well to control the rusher. Mauler type with a bit of a mean streak. Can anchor effectively. Not real smooth in his redirection. Alert and aware. Did well in the postseason. Has some limitations — needs to play inside — overachiever. (Originally drafted by Dallas)

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ERIC DECKER: Minnesota, 6031 217 4.55. Started 33 games over career. Big physical receiver that can take a hit.

A consistent hand catcher that will double move defensive backs. Quick in and out of his breaks. Will stalk and mirror defensive backs down the field. Physical receiver with good focus. Strong run after catch ability. Draft status may be affected by Lisfranc foot surgery. In 2009 had 50 catches for 758 yards, 15.2 yards per catch, and 5 touchdowns.

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MILES AUSTIN: Monmouth (NJ), 6021 215 4.47. Three-year starter. Big athletic receiver that was a mismatch in his league. Big soft hands. Uses his size and speed to separate from defenders. Raw in all skills. Inconsistent get-off, line release, and pass routes. Lacked effort in blocking. Caught several short and under patterns and got yards after catch. Big target. Will catch the ball over the middle. Creates deep separation this level and runs away from corners.

Uses a quick spin move at times. Productive high motor, fast twitch 3-4 rush prospect. Had an incredible 40 sacks in the past two years. He added 52 tackles for loss.
