Draft Rewind 2010 - Gerald McCoy - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about GERALD MCCOY: Oklahoma, 6041 295 5.11. Junior entry. Three-year starter. Cat-like quickness. When cut he bounces up and demonstrates outstanding athletic ability to get down the line and into pursuit. Good agility and body control. Uses a spin move to get off block and out of trouble. Inconsistent to fight pressure. Must escape on first move or can get walled off. Is generally “all in” on his first explosive gap penetration. He relies on his quickness to push the play deep. He plays within the scheme of the defense. Many times he takes himself out of a play because he can be single blocked. Good ability to disengage blocker and find the ball. Long arms and big hands. Question instincts at times, especially when fooled on screen passes when he takes the bait. His strength is more of a one gap penetrator as an under tackle in a four man front. Plays with good hip flex and knee bend, but gets rolled out if he gets too high. Plays quick, but not always strong. McCoy’s productivity over his career is not as good as several linemen that will be drafted after him. Edge speed:left 2.09, right 2.30. OSR:10/20. First round. (A-33 3/4, H-10 1/4, BP-23, 10-1.75).

double teams. Intense and explosive. Powerful lower body strength.
Controls blocker with hands and quick shed. Hustles to the ball and makes
a play. Has pass rush skills and ability to press pocket. Brian Price,
junior entry, is another fast twitch disruptive defensive lineman that knows
how to use his hands. Explosive gap quickness to penetrate and get up the
field. Relentless with a burst to the quarterback. Arthur Jones had surgery
on a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee causing him to miss the last 3
games. Strong, quick, athletic, and instinctive. Can play a 4-3 tackle or
project to a 3-4 defensive end. Jared Odrick is another versatile defensive
lineman that can play tackle or end, depending on a team’s scheme. Big-10
Defensive Lineman of the Year. Physical and competitive. Terrence Cody
is the top 3-4 nose tackle in the 2010 Draft. Plays on the line of scrimmage
and stuffs the run game from tackle to tackle. Question endurance. Also is
the lead blocker in the goal-line offense as the fullback. Wide-bodied space
eater. ABOVE AVERAGE
