What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about TORREY SMITH: Maryland, 6007 204 4.43. Junior entry. Two-and-a-half year starter who is a vertical receiver with good body control. Creates separation with speed and athletic ability. Quick feet gives him a chance to come out of his break with a burst. Plays fast. Competitive at the ball in the air. Can make the tough circus type catch. Uses his talent as a kickoff return specialist to run after catch as a receiver. All-time ACC career kickoff return leader. Adjusts well to the low ball or high and away passes. Runs the full route tree with outs, deep, corner patterns, dig routes, comebacks, etc. Many times he outruns the coverage, but the quarterback can’t get him the ball or under throws him.

Draft Rewind 2004 - Michael Turner - Atlanta Falcons

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MICHAEL TURNER: Northern Illinois, 5104 237 4.48. A hard running tailback with good size and strength. Could project in a one-back set. Productive two year starter. Durable workhorse. A somewhat slow starter — not quick to the hole. More fast than quick. Keeps his shoulders squared and runs with good lean and power. Tough between the tackles. Keeps his feet active and gives good second effort. Holds the ball securely. Not a consistent tackle breaker — gets tripped up by low contact too easily. Has good vision for reading and following blocks. Has the burst to get outside and turn the corner but looks to bounce plays wide a little too much. Not a real sharp cutter — slows to change directions on the move. Lacks dynamic elusiveness — lowers his shoulder and drives into defenders in the open rather than evade. Not used a lot as a blocker but has ability in that area — can bend his knees and deliver a solid blow. Marginal receiver with adequate hands. Needs to improve as a route runner. Originally drafted by San Diego.

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ADAM SNYDER: Oregon, 6053 313 5.37. Three-year starter. Played both right and left tackle. Also spent some time at right guard.

Will play high and waist bend in pass protection. Feet are heavy and average. Can sit down and anchor versus the bull rush. Try hard effort player. Mauler in run blocks.

Generally keeps his hands inside the frame and steers defender. Better run blocker than a pass protector. Will struggle to redirect. Has fits with a two move player. Fourth or fifth round. May go lower with limited athletic ability. Originally drafted by San Francisco.

Rarely gets single blocked. Can’t be blocked with a tight end. Plays low and with good leverage. Can walk an offensive tackle back to the quarterback at times. Instinctive. Quick to read and react to pressure then gets to the ball. Right place at the right time player. Can run the hoop as a pass rusher, bending his course to the depth of the quarterback.

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about JAKE LOCKER: Washington, 6022 231 4.59. Three-year starter who is a dynamic playmaker. Possesses all the tools and athletic ability to succeed on the next level. Broke his thumb in game four against Stanford in 2008 which slowed his progress. Played in 2009 with a group of young receivers who dropped several passes early in the year but proved to be talented skill players by season’s end. Returned to the Huskies in 2010 to continue his development under quarterback guru and head coach Steve Sarkisian. Fundamentally, Locker is an ascending player who can throw from the pocket or on the move from a variety of deliveries. Classic compact release. Holds ball cheek level and is quick on his release. Plays in both a spread offense where he takes shotgun snaps and a pro style where he accepts the ball from under center. His arm is strong enough to throw deep and all the sideline passes. He can zip the tough deep comeback route. Has the innate ability to speed up his delivery under a heavy rush and gets the ball out of his hand quickly and on time.

Has good decision making skills, poise, and leadership qualities. 2010 stats: 2265 passing yds, 55.4%, 17 TDs, 9 INTs, 385 yds rushing. Ball velocity 54 mph. OSR:2/18. First/second round.

Generally plays with a good base. Has some first step quickness. Can be effective on the second level if he takes good angles. Played left tackle, but is more likely a right tackle on the next level.

OSR:36/49. Fourth/ fifth round. (A-33, H-9 1/2, BP-23, 10-1.89).

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about TYRONNE GREEN: Auburn, 6016 309 5.35. Two-year starter. Long arms and big hands. Physical player with raw skills. Former defensive lineman. Powerful short area punch. In the Senior Bowl game he gave B.J. Raji all he could handle. He was on him like white on rice. Kept position on Raji in pass protection and walled him off in the run game. Needs additional work on his pulling technique and balance in space. Would like to see him finish better, but he just needs playing time to refine his game. Thick butt and legs. His feet get wider than his shoulders in pass pro, but he plays with bent knees. Looks like a good fit for a zone blocking team that requires the ability to quick position a defender with base leverage and to run his feet on contact. OSR:33/ 47. Sixth/seventh round. (A-33 3/4, H-10 1/4, BP-22, 10-1.75).

Runs several horizontal routes in their pass scheme - hitches, bubble screens, etc. Soft consistent hands to pluck the ball, put it away, and burst up the field.

Ultra productive receiver that caught 305 passes in three years, good for 3199 yards, and 22 touchdowns. Good field vision and awareness. Plays on special teams as a punt and kickoff returner. Will need to learn all the NFL nuances of downfield route running because he hasn’t done it in their scheme. Had a good college quarterback feeding him the ball in Dan Lefevour.

Very productive and active over his career. Can play in a three or four man front, depending on what he is asked to do. Has the size, arm length, and thick posterior to hold his ground. Unfortunately, his first move is up at times, instead of out and he plays high. Good awareness to get his hands up in the throwing lane. Moved around at left and right defensive end to take advantage of matchups. Doesn’t stay blocked. Pushes the pocket in the MAC because he is bigger and stronger than many centers or tackles he sees, but will need to play low and with leverage. Needs to work on his hand quickness. Raw but has tools to make a team. Good rip with outside arm on slant moves. Deliberate more than fast twitch. Good effort player. Plays square and closes down laterally.

Awarded the Jacobs’ Blocking Trophy in 2009 and 2010 as the best offensive lineman in the conference. Projects to center for some teams because of size. Hudson is the classic “don’t look at the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.” Plays with the speed and agility to pull and be effective on the second level where he seals the linebackers by taking good angles. Possesses rare foot quickness to execute a variety of blocks in run blocking and pass protection. Plays with functional strength and leverage to handle larger defensive linemen. Can turn the defender in the hole. Puts a hat on a hat and maintains contact. Athletic enough to zone block, double team, combo, trap, and log as well as lead through the hole and around the edge.

String of 28 straight starts was ended by missing the final two games of 2009 with a knee strain. Everything about his game is sudden – weight transfer and change of direction, space adjustment, body control and balance recovery, set quickness, base and reach blocks, and punch and use of hands. Active downfield. Gets push in the run game. Drives his feet on contact. A three for one player, however he did start one game as a freshman at left tackle. Potential Pro Bowl center. OSR:46/49.

Draft Rewind 2010 - Major Wright - Chicago Bears

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MAJOR WRIGHT: Florida, 5114 206 4.47. Junior entry. Three-year starter. If the adage “first impressions are lasting” you will be unable to forget Major Wright exploding on the scene in the 2009 National Championship game against Oklahoma. He put a splash hit on receiver Juaquin Iglesias. What was just as impressive as the impact hit, was the timing of the collision to knock the ball out. Wright was penalized for a helmet to helmet hit, but his reputation as a big hitter was immortalized. He plays the game with intensity and passion. More athletic and faster in person than on tape. Has above average hip flexibility to turn and run deep. Not as smooth as a corner but more efficient than most safeties. Good football intelligence. Accurate key and quick reaction to what he reads. Has a nose for the ball. In a nutshell, he is a big hitting safety that needs to work on coverage skills. Will contribute on special teams. Good durability.
