Draft Rewind 2010 - Jimmy Graham - New Orleans Saints

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about JIMMY GRAHAM: Miami, 6063 259 4.55. Started one game in the only year he played. Four-year basketball letterman, one year of college football. Still learning the game. High cut. Will need to work to bend his knees to play low. Struggles as a blocker. Good eye-hand coordination. Not a natural hand catcher. Cradles and traps the ball. Good straight line speed and leaping ability. Waits on ball instead of going up after it at the high point. Needs work in every phase of his game - patterns, coverage recognition, release, separation, catching the ball short and long, inline blocker, and downfield blocker. One speed player that is a developing size/speed prospect. Big target with long arms. Career and 2009 stats are 17 catches, 213 yards, 12.5 yards per catch, and 5 touchdowns. OSR: 1/13. Fourth/fifth round. (A-35, H-10 5/8, BP-DNP, VJ-38.5).

Draft Rewind 2006 - Eric Winston - Kansas City Chiefs

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ERIC WINSTON: Miami, 6065 310 4.94. Started 28 games. Played left tackle for the Hurricanes. Angular and thin-limbed build that is more finesse than powerful. Comes off the ball with a flat back. Sustains contact with defender. Lacks strength in his anchor (thin-hipped). Plays too high and doesn’t bend his knees consistently. Has talent and tools. Not as explosive and powerful as you’d like for a tackle. Recruited as a tight end. Struggled in 2005 in pass protection. Recovered from an ACL in 2004. Wall off position blocker. Good initial quickness. Can recover and redirect. Takes good downfield angles. Slips through and cuts off backside pursuit. Has shorter arms and smaller hands than ideal. Struggles with edge speed and two-move defensive ends. Lacks surge on run blocks. Tried to maul but doesn’t move his feet. Needs more overall strength. Gets up on his toes in pass protection. Can improve his hand use to control defenders. Strength is a major issue. Bunkley, from Florida State, drove him five yards in the backfield. Third or fourth round ability that will get drafted high because of athleticism. Second or third round. (A-32 1/4, H-9 1/4, BP-DNP, 10-1.70). Originally drafted by Houston.

Averaged 10 tackles per game as a senior playing inside linebacker. Competitive and intense in his play. Top effort player with a high motor.

Draft Rewind 2002 - Ed Reed - Baltimore Ravens

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ED REED: Miami, 5110 201 4.50. Four year starter with experience at free and strong safety. Well-built but smaller than ideal with relatively short arms and legs. Very productive player. Good athlete with solid man coverage skills for a safety. Smooth in his backpedal. Can turn and run well. Speedy. Instinctive. Breaks on the ball skillfully. Aggressively looks to make plays — is a natural interceptor with good hands and body control — runs well after the pick. A little out of control at times — sometimes is too interception conscious. Shows toughness as a tackler but is a bit inconsistent in that phase — doesn’t attack the run as forcefully as he might. Solid special teams player with kick blocking ability. Quality prospect.

Draft Rewind 2004 - Vince Wilfork - New England Patriots

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about VINCE WILFORK: Miami, 6012 325 5.10. Junior eligible. Productive rotation player early in his career. Dynamic first year starter in ’03. Not a classic specimen. Shorter than ideal — has a big belly. Thick-legged with a wide upper body and excellent strength. Explosive off the ball. Has a quick first step and is powerful into blocks. Does a good job of controlling his man, fighting the double team, and clogging the middle. Holds the point well. Usually plays low. Will overextend and go to the ground a little too much. Separates and sheds well, but he can be late to locate, as he sometimes gets too focused on the blocker and doesn’t look for the ball. Forceful tackler — can bring down a runner on the spot. Limited range type player — runs well for his size but is not an all-out pursuit player. Solid inside pass rusher with a fine combination of strength and aggressive moves. Uses his hands well. Keeps his feet active. Short strider with a strong closing burst. Quality prospect — needs to control his weight.

Draft Rewind 2003 - Andre Johnson - Houston Texans

What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about ANDRE JOHNSON: Miami, 6020 230 4.40. Junior eligible. Two year starter. Improving. Imposing specimen. Tall and sturdy with a muscular upper body and very long arms for a wide receiver. Excellent athlete. Still a bit raw as a route runner but he shows a burst out of his cuts and is a physical over the middle target. Legitimate deep threat with a pullaway gear. Is an aggressive snatcher who attacks the ball but has inconsistent hands. Outstanding leaper — dangerous in jump ball situations. Playmaker after the catch — has a quick stutterstep move to beat the first tackler. Tough competitor. Physical blocker — explosive when taking on linebackers and safeties on running plays. Can overpower and sustain downfield when going against smaller defenders. Not quite as polished or productive as most top receiving prospects, but he has superb tools.

Doesn’t stay blocked. Fluid in his pass drops. Can turn and run. Can play short or deep man-to-man coverage. Good open field tackler. Will contribute on special teams. Undersized. Will get walled off at times because of height.Team’s leading tackler and hardest hitter. Flexibility to play inside or outside depending on a team’s scheme. Can knock a ball carrier backwards.

Draft Rewind 2006 - Devin Hester - Chicago Bears

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about DEVIN HESTER: Miami, 5105 190 4.43. Junior eligible. An athlete that can return and has experience as a corner and wide receiver. His speed and versatility are his strengths. Has a burst after he catches the ball. Every part of his game is inconsistent because he is a jack of all trades and a master of none. He has fringe size as a receiver or corner. As a receiver his patterns were raw. Question focus on the ball. As good a returner as he was two years ago, his decisions and ability to catch the ball were inconsistent. Can turn and run as a corner, but his techniques and skills were off. Many times players with rare speed go in the third or fourth round. This is where he could fit if not lower. A man without a position. (A-31 1/8, H-8, SS-4.20, VJ-38).

Matt Bosher, Atlanta Falcons, 192nd Pick, 6th Round, 2011 NFL Draft

Bosher, Matt Miami 6000 205 4.80

Allen Bailey, Kansas City Chiefs, 86th Pick, 3rd Round, 2011 NFL Draft

Bailey, Allen Miami 6030 285 4.77
Started 24 games over three years. Looks the part. Long arms and big hands. Naturally strong. Plays with intensity, strength, and quickness. Good effort to finish plays with backside hustle. Played in a 4-3 defensive front scheme and was in a regular rotation where he was always fresh. Also moved inside in some packages to play defensive tackle. Had 19 sacks and 31 tackles for loss over his career. May project to a 3-4 end where he can two gap and keep the offensive linemen off his linebackers. Instincts are off. He must see it because he can’t feel it. More deliberate than quick twitch. Plays high at times and loses his power and strength. Gets pushed and turned by mediocre blockers. Inconsistent ability to control the defender with effective hand use. Will get stuck on a blocker when he has technique breakdowns. Has a ton of natural talent, but may need to be limited in his assignments to take advantage of his talent and strength. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.

DeMarcus Van Dyke, Oakland Raiders, 81st Pick, 3rd Round, 2011 NFL Draft

For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.

Leonard Hankerson, Washington Redskins, 79th Pick, 3rd Round, 2011 NFL Draft

Hankerson, Leonard Miami 6015 209 4.43
Two-year starter with long arms and big hands. Plays both the “x” split end or “‘z”’ flanker position. A good athlete who had his best year as a senior. Improved his consistency in 2010 catching the ball, but still double caught and dropped routine passes at times. A good sized target with deep speed. Does a good job of working back to the ball. A competitor who will catch the ball in a crowd. Can make the vertical over shoulder catch. Tracks the ball into his hands. A good route runner. Inconsistent quarterback play held down his numbers, but contributed to his ability to catch off target passes.

He did catch 5 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown in the game. Beat press coverage with quickness and speed.

Junior entry. Three-year starter. Shorter than ideal for a starting
corner, but has good leaping ability. Smooth in his turns with

to grab the steering wheel and drive the defender into the ground.
Has some violence in his game. Plays left and also has experience
at right tackle and left guard. Good punch. Explosive in his play.
Leaks through and seals linebackers on the second level. A knee
bender with a solid lower body that is flexible and hard to knock
off his feet. Good body control. Possesses the size, strength,
balance, and base to anchor against power. A good use of his
active hands but will lobster grab a defender outside the frame at
times. A good athlete with foot quickness, body control, recovery
in pass protection. Slides and moves his light feet. Shadows the
pass rusher. Can be explosive out of his stance but comes off slow
at times. May lose concentration. Has the talent to be an eventual
