What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about LEROY HARRIS: North Carolina State, 6024 302 5.33. Four-year starter. Versatile center/guard type. Was a former state wrestling champion. Gains quickness after start. Gains an advantage over defender and gets movement on short yardage and goal-line plays. Quick enough to get position and keep it. Flashes some explosiveness and drives his legs on contact. Will work to sustain on wall off and position blocks. Quick on initial trap block. Can adjust on the run. Good feet and balance on pass pro. Can mirror and slide to keep position on defender. More blue collar than athletic, but does have above average quickness, agility, and balance. Needs more upper and lower body strength after contact. An explosive first step to get into defender. Quick to gain position and wall off defender. Can make the reach, cut block to cut off pursuit. Once he gets his hands on you he can control block. Works to finish and sustain. Takes good angles to second level and locks on linebackers. Shows some ability to anchor the bull rush and is athletic enough to pick up the inside “games.” A good athlete that will compete. Seventh round. (A-33 1/2, H-10 1/4, BP-29, 10-1.87).

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about PAUL
SOLIAI: Utah, 6040 344 5.13.
Two-year starter. Huge wide-bodied grass grabber with long arms. Endurance is a
problem. Wears down in games and plays high. Two down player. A premium is put

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MASON
CROSBY: Colorado, 6012 212 5.27.
Four-year starter. Explodes into the ball, consistently driving the ball deep
with excellent hang times. Good poise on the off target snaps. Handles windy
conditions and elements. An average athlete that has good flexibility and a
strong leg. As a former safety, he can breakdown and tackle on the kickoffs. Has
been consistent for four years. Takes a consistent approach to the ball and is
mechanically sound. A smart player that understands the game. He’s a
self-starter with a good work ethic and a competitive attitude. Must
consistently get ball up quickly, especially from long distances. Has had two
kicks blocked in his career. Right footed, soccer style kicker on field goals,
PATs, and kickoffs. An average athlete, but a pressure and poised player with
mental toughness. Strong legged kicker with the ability to kickoff high and deep
into end zone. He can hang the ball both at high altitude and sea level.
Averages 4.28 hang time on 10 graded kickoffs (over 4.2 is optimum.) Ball
explodes off his foot on kickoffs, FGs, and PATs. Over 70% of kickoffs are
touchbacks. Of 203 kickoffs, 138 went for touchbacks with 88 going through the
end zone. Hit 19 of 28 field goals in 2006. Attempted 88 FGs in his career and
made 66 of them. He set 30 single game, season, and career records for the

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about DESMOND
BISHOP: California, 6017 239
4.81. Two-year starter. Junior college transfer. Quick to read and react. Good
instincts. A competitive and athletic linebacker with limited speed. Downhill
linebacker that is strong in the inside running game. Can improve his hand use
disengaging from blockers. Needs work on zone coverage to recognize and react,
drop, turn ability, depth, and body positioning. Has some hip tightness in man
to man coverage. May be a two-down run player. Will contribute on special teams.
Seventh round/ priority free agent. (A-32 3/4, H-9 3/4, BP-33, SS-4.65).

7:00 AM
What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about REGGIE NELSON: Florida, 5113 198 4.53. Early
entry. Two-year starter, JC transfer. Athletic, aggressive, tough, and fast.
Similar in size to Eagles’ Brian Dawkins. A solid senior year elevated his
stock. He is a rangy sideline to sideline athlete that can cover ground quickly.
Improved his ability to read and rect. May be more learned than instinctive.
Explosive force in the secondary. Initiates contact. Physically touch and
aggressive. Intense. Body control as a tackler has improved. A competitive
athlete that goes all out and gives effort to play coverage and get in on play.
Will contribute on special teams. Will need repetitions. Will need to improve
technique in every phase of his game. Out of control as a tackler at times. Has
come a long way in a year. Previously struggled to read and react to plays in
front of him. Coming from junior college he was not a technique oriented player
and had to learn how to back pedal, keep a good base, stay in his pedal as long
as possible, and to transition out of his pedal. Footwork, run support angles,
and tackling were well below average. A raw athlete that is still developing
cover skills and reads. It was a credit to his hard work on and off the field
that he elevated his game from a late second day pick to an early first day
choice. First round. (A-33 3/4, H-8 5/8, SS-4.15, VJ-34.5).

entry. One-year starter. Productivity as a pass rusher with the ability to play
the run. Good agility and body control. Stays on his feet and keeps his balance.
Demonstrates quick feet with his outside rush or inside charge. Lateral
quickness to bend the corner and flatten out down the line. Quick on slant and
angle moves. Will get stuck on a blocker at times, but generally sheds and gets
into pursuit quickly. Reads the play quickly and finds the ball. Flashes a burst
after initial contact. If he doesn’t get a sack, he forces a hurry. Uses his
hands and speed to rush the passer. Gets off block and tackles without losing
ground. Shorter than ideal as an edge pass rusher. Vision obscured by tall
linemen. Productive. Strong junior year overshadowed teammate Quentin Moses.
Played in a rotation in 2005 and started for the first time in 2006. A one year
body of work doesn’t give you much to go on, but demonstrates all the raw skills
to be successful on the next level. A good athlete that just needs to play more
and become more technique conscious. Second/ third round. (A-34 1/4, H-9 5/8,
BP-33, 10-1.70).
