Draft Rewind 2011 - Mike Pouncey - Miami Dolphins

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MIKE POUNCEY: Florida, 6053 303 5.18. Three-year starter. Twin brother of Steelers’ first round draft choice Maurkice Pouncey. Our top guard or center, but is versatile enough to back up every position on the offensive line. Some ball clubs prefer him at guard and others at center. He struggled on short snaps in the shotgun where every snap was an adventure early in 2010. Can turn the down defender with strong leg action and sure hands. Good effort and body control. Effective downfield on the Utah pass. Good in space to adjust and sustain his block. Powerful blocker who can roll his hips to shock and control the down defender. Too tall to bend and play with leverage at center. Feisty and competitive. Plays with an ornery streak. Relishes contact. A mauler on down blocks. Good hip and knee flexibility at guard where he can change direction and move in on a moving target and finish his block. Good effort to seal on the second level and block downfield. Good lateral agility and quickness versus a slant move. Explosive punch and use of hands. Gains control and locks out. Has the ability to create separation. Plays on his feet. In pass protection he plays in a pre-set stance with a good base and balance. Can slide, mirror, and adjust his feet. As a freshman he moved from the offensive line to the defensive line because of injuries and played in every game. Did not bench by his choice. OSR:35/49. First/second round. (A-32 1/4, H-9 3/4, BP-DNP, 10-1.80).

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. Over his career he had 165 tackles, 10 passes broken up, 8 interceptions, and 4 forced fumbles. BTR:left 4.50, right 4.43. OSR:8/21. Third/ fourth round. (A-31, H-9 3/4, VJ-37.5, SS-4.38).

Draft Rewind 2007 - Reggie Nelson - Cincinnati Bengals

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).

Draft Rewind 2007 - Brandon Siler - San Diego Chargers

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about BRANDON SILER: Florida, 6016 241 4.55. Junior entry. True junior, has not been red-shirted. A physical and instinctive inside run stuffer. A sideline to sideline player with good athletic ability. Has the speed to run the ball carrier down from behind. Takes good angles downfield. Good lateral foot quickness. Nose for the ball. Clears his feet and is quick through traffic. A disruptive player with good field awareness in coverage. Sudden plant and drive on the ball in front of him.

Will need to improve his overall body play strength. Plays with good knee bend. An every down linebacker with good and quick feet. Explosive run through hitter. Works through the blocks and makes plays. Good agility in traffic. Downhill player that fills the running lanes. Stops blocks and can run. Will get hung up on guards at times. Always around the ball. Athletic and productive. Good field vision and burst on blitz. Second round. (A-34 3/4, H-10 1/8, BP-23, SS-4.39).

Draft Rewind 2010 - Jermaine Cunningham - New England Patriots

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about JERMAINE CUNNINGHAM: Florida, 6033 266 4.75. Three-year starter that played with his hand down but has the ability to play standing up over a tight end (Sam linebacker). Long arms and big hands. Good initial quickness from his stance to the opponent. Everything about this player is sudden - lateral quickness, foot quickness, and hand quickness. Can accelerate off a block and burst to the quarterback. Strong effort to rush the quarterback. Flexible enough to turn the corner low and flatten the edge. Then he accelerates to the ball. Makes plays once he gets up the field. Has the ability to go to a second move. Hands up in the pass rush. Consistent and tenacious pass rush effort every down. Will contribute on special teams coverage. Had 152 tackles, 34 for loss, 19 1/2 sacks, and 5 forced fumbles in his career. Did not work out at the Combine because of shoulder surgery.

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about PATRICK ROBINSON: Florida, 5111 190 4.44. Twenty-five starts over the past three years. Big corner that is physical and can run.

Has made big plays over his career, including blocking PATs that were returned for scores. Has the speed to run backs down from behind. Takes good pursuit angles on plays away from him. A good athlete with foot quickness and hip flexibility. Good change of direction and recoverability. He can stick his foot in the ground and drive off quickly. Sticky man cover ability. Flashes a quick burst and acceleration speed. Appears to have a strong upper body. Locks out his arms and separates from blockers. Willing tackler that will wrap up. Shows good awareness to recognize offensive set tendencies and react quickly to his keys. Plays with poise and confidence. Maintains good position on the receiver. Sudden support in the run game. Wards off low blocks, sheds, and makes plays. Should contribute on all special teams coverage units. Better in press cover-two rather than playing off man to man. Has 117 tackles, 21 pass breakups, and 7 interceptions in his career. BTR:left 4.56, right 4.71. OSR:7/29. First/second round. (A-30 1/2, H-8 1/2, VJ-39, SS-4.29).

Draft Rewind 2010 - Brandon Spikes - New England Patriots

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about BRANDON SPIKES: Florida, 6027 249 5.00. Three-year starter with good instincts and the tools to star on Sunday.

Productive with 307 tackles over the past three years. Football smart with good work ethic and a passion for the game. Long arms and big hands to control the blockers. His ability to read and react quickly makes up for his lack of track speed. Has had several tipped passes in his career because of his savvy to get into the throwing lane. A strong vocal leader. Did not work out at the Combine. First round. (A- 33 3/8, H-10, BP-DNP, SS-DNP).

Draft Rewind 2010 - Maurkice Pouncey - Pittsburgh Steelers

Draft Rewind 2010 - Tim Tebow - Denver Broncos

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about TIM TEBOW: Florida, 6026 236 4.70. Three-year starter that may be the most decorated football player in college football history. Left handed passer. Plays in an option oriented offense where the quarterback’s feet and legs are key to the offense; the edge type spread-the-field scheme that features option, running the corner, and ball control passing. Big, strong, smart, and athletic with rare intangibles. Rotated his freshman year with Chris Leak. Has directed the Gators to two national championships in three years. Only player in NCAA history to rush and pass for at least 20 touchdowns in a season. Physically and mentally tough. A take charge guy that leads his teammates. Consistent and reliable. Performs under pressure. Plays with confidence. Durable. Can shake off arm tackles and take a hit. Disciplined with the football. Loves to play quarterback. Has a feel for the game. Can make a flat-footed throw with a man in his face. Has the ability to make defenders miss and still see the field. Can make a good situation out of a bad one. Played with a new group of receivers in 2009. A competitor with will, passion, and fire to get the job done. Can read coverages but will work to master the NFL complexities. Throws strikes when he has a clean pocket as a drop back passer, but has the ability to throw on the run. Accurate short and medium. Has a variety of deliveries. Will need to work on all the nuances of NFL quarterback play. Innate ability to respond to change. Elevates the performance of everyone around him. Can shuck pass rushers that try to tackle him high. Not easy to tackle. Good running instincts. Can hit the deep square in and skinny post in the seam. Good poise and patience. Throws a wobbly but catchable ball. Has pocket presence to step up as the rush goes around him. Has touch on swing passes. Part of being a successful NFL quarterback is the ability to throw from a variety of deliveries. Tebow can do that. He does drop the ball down below his waist, then brings the ball up to release the pass. The wasted motion hinders a quick strike through a narrow window of opportunity. Career stats include a 66.4% completion rate, completing 661 of 995 attempts for 9285 yards, 88 touchdowns, and just 16 interceptions, rushing 692 times for 2947 yards and 57 touchdowns. OSR: 1/16.

Built like a running back. Outstanding running skills and vision after catch. A hand catcher with soft hands to snatch the ball. Natural receiving skills. Has the feet to get his body in position to catch the ball. Can catch high, low, and behind. Runs a limited amount of patterns. Will need development on all the downfield routes. Has an upfield burst and strong leg drive. Used on counters and reverses. Threat as a runner. Can make people miss. Flashes blocking ability. Usually has his hands on the ball. Excellent leaper. Can catch a ball in a crowd. Will run crossers over the middle. Can take a hit and hold on to ball. No holdup on the line. Quick acceleration and footwork. Has the moves to elude.

Black, Ahmad Florida 5094 184 4.78

Three-year starter who has the awareness to recognize and analyze offensive set tendencies and react quickly to his keys. Sudden to read and react. By all rules of measurement, Black is too small and slow to play on the next level. He rated 21 out of 21 safeties athletically at the Combine. However, when he gets on the field he is a playmaking dynamo. He has a fierce sense of competition. Plays with confidence and poise. Mentally tough and is dedicated to football. Has a high reaction IQ. Plays faster than timed speed. Instincts knock off two 100ths off his 40- time. Productive over his career with 12 interceptions and the Gators’ leading tackler.

tackle in 2010. A big man with good athletic ability. Works to
keep his hands inside on the breast plate. Plays balanced with a

Can quick set and force separation with a solid punch. Plays

Mike Pouncey and Notes 2011 NFL Draft

For each position below, we have ranked the players listed by
a special Ourlads’ formula we call OSR. When a prospect has an OSR rating
of 15/17, for example, he rated 15th out of the 17 athletes at his position.
Athletes are listed by position alphabetically. Each workout field is weighted
to the importance of the position – i.e.: for quarterbacks – height, the short
shuttle, 3 cone drill, and Wonderlic test are the most important. Broad jump,
vertical jump, 40-yard dash, and 20-yard dash are also important, but not as
important as the first four mentioned. The numbers recorded next to a
prospect’s name exceeded the previous year’s Combine average or Pro Bowl
players’ averages for the past five years. If there is only an OSR rating, the
athlete did not exceed any of the previous position averages.

Ryan Bartholomew (Syracuse) OSR: 12/49. A-33 ¾”. 34/BP, 1.69/10,
4.62/SS. Brandon Fusco (Slippery Rock) OSR: 9/49. A-33 ¾”, H-10”. 26/BP,

Cal) OSR: 7/49. 31/BP, 32.5/VJ, 4.59/SS. Mike Pouncey (Florida) OSR: 35/49.
