Draft Rewind 2008 - Jake Long - Miami Dolphins

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about JAKE LONG: Michigan, 6070 313 5.25. A four-year starter that is a physical player who shows quickness, power, and a mauler mentality. Plays with a good base in the run and passing games. Can maintain his power angles in the lower body with little crossover. Drops his hips in pass protection and demonstrates the ability to anchor against power rushers. Has good reach to his kick on pass protection. Better in closed quarters than in the open field. Limited pulling ability. Will struggle with edge speed at times. Michigan mostly slides and gap protects, so you don’t see him singled up a lot. He always has inside help on the slide and outside on gap protection. Could be a feature right tackle like Jon Jansen but will struggle on the left side. Needs to improve his pass protection punch. Will waist bend and overextend at times. Good quickness for his size on backside scoop blocks. Michigan asks their tackles to move lateral and expand defenders. He does a good job with this technique. Long arms. Shows patience in pass protection. Good short area quickness and hand strength. Footwork improved in 2007. Good body control. Plays with good balance. Not as athletic as Joe Thomas, but is very consistent. Hard worker that should be a top tackle for a long time. Excellent Combine workout. OSR:1/42. Early first round.

2010 NFL Draft, Philadelphia Eagles,Brandon Graham,Ourlads.com

Two-and-a-half year starter. A disruptive force that must be game planned to contain him. Almost impossible to single block him. Usually needs a double team and a chip block from a back or motion receiver. Has a passion for the game. Bites, scratches, fights with controlled violence to get to the quarterback. Has the ability to come off the edge and go to the quarterback. A smart player that adjusts to schemes quickly. Good awareness. Effort to the whistle. Outstanding hand, foot, and lateral quickness. Miraculously his arms grew 2 inches from the Senior Bowl to the Combine. Good use of hands to knock down the pass protector’s punch. Top level positional agility and lateral quickness. Flattens out well against the outside run. Consistent to bend and push the pocket in his pass rush. Relentless in his play. Works to finish. Makes a blocker work from snap to whistle to block him. A natural knee bender. In 2009 had 64 total tackles, 26 for loss, 10 1/2 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. For his career he had 124 tackles, 56 tackles for loss, 29 1/2 sacks, and 8 forced fumbles. OSR:14/35. (A-32 1/4, H-9 7/8, BP-31, 10-1.64).
