Kyle Rudolph and Other Tightend Notes 2011 Draft

Kyle Rudolph,DJ Williams,Lance Kendricks and Luke Stocker 2011 Draft

Junior Kyle Rudolph is projected as the top tight end in the 2011 Draft.
That journey has taken a detour after Rudolph suffered a hamstring injury in
the Pittsburgh game that required surgery. Rehabilitation for tearing the
hamstring off the bone is approximately 6 months. DJ Williams plays well
on his feet. Good effort to block the edge. Snatches the ball in his hands.
Good run after catch ability. Gets open in the short and medium zones.
Lance Kendricks is a move tight end who is a scrappy and effective blocker.
Runs good routes. Cradles and catches the ball in his hands. Luke Stocker is
a position wall off blocker with sure hands. Big target. Fringe speed to
separate from man to man coverage. Weslye Saunders did not play in
2010 due to a ruling by the NCAA on accepting extra benefits. Has talent, but
gave a perfunctory effort in 2009

2010 NFL Draft Wide Receivers

WIDE RECEIVERS

1. Bryant, Dez* Oklahoma State 6020 215 4.45
2. Benn, Arrelious* Illinois 6020 220 4.45
3. Tate, Golden* Notre Dame 5110 205 4.45
4. Briscoe, Dezmon* Kansas 6030 200 4.55
5. Williams, Damian* Southern Cal 6010 195 4.50
6. LaFell, Brandon LSU 6023 207 4.50
7. Alexander, Danario Missouri 6042 205 4.55
8. Gilyard, Marshawn Cincinnati 5117 185 4.50
9. Shipley, Jordan Texas 6000 190 4.50
10. Decker, Eric Minnesota 6031 207 4.55

Dez Bryant heads a group of five underclass receivers that may be drafted
in the first round in April. Bryant was ruled ineligible by the NCAA.
Arrelious Benn was a victim of poor quarterback play and injuries in
2009. A talented big receiver that has quick hands and the ability to adjust
and hand catch off-target passes. Golden Tate has exceptional eye-hand
coordination and runs like a running back after the catch. Good focus and
concentration. Usually played against soft coverages. Traps the ball against
his chest at times. Dezmon Briscoe a gazelle type receiver that picks up
speed going down the field. Can make the tough catch but loses focus at
times and drops the routine ball. Long arms and big hands. Damian
Williams, a transfer from Arkansas, plays split end (X) and in the slot
(Z). Needs more strength to get off press coverage. Has talent but struggles
with RAC yards. Of our top five senior receivers, Danario Alexander
put up big numbers and may be a first day selection if he runs well at the
Combine. Eric Decker will be unavailable to run until after the Draft.

clean pocket and demonstrated outstanding short and medium accuracy.
Reportedly will recover in time to work out at the Combine after right

durable 3 ½ year starter with intangibles off the chart. May be a
utility player, running back, etc. while learning to play NFL caliber football.
Outstanding running instincts and strength. Can he beat the blitz with his
release? Slow delivery is a major concern. Tony Pike played in spread
offense where by scheme, the receivers are generally wide open.
