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).

Quinton Carter and other Defensive back notes.....


DB: Jalil Brown (Colorado) – 6002, 202. Hands 10”. A big
corner who
plays high. Received some work at safety during the week. Has some short
area quickness and the ability to support the run. Best as a press corner.
Struggled in deep coverage. Will peek into the backfield at times giving the
receiver a chance to separate from coverage. Kendric Burney (NorthCarolina)
– 5090, 181. Instinctive nickel
corner who can jump a route with
a sudden burst. Quick reactions to medium and short routes. Competed well
during the week and in the game on special teams. Football looks important
to him. A press type corner who can drive and snap off quickly. Sticky short
area ability. Plays with confidence and poise. Rashad Carmichael (Virginia Tech)
– 5095, 185. Was playing at 85 percent with an ankle injury that
limited him the last half of the season. Flashed ability to play off man
coverage and stick his foot in the ground and drive on the ball. The coverages
are basic at the Senior Bowl. Press coverage is not allowed. On Monday he
had two interceptions in 7 on 7 drills. Sat out Wednesday’s practice and did
not play in the game. Quinton Carter (Oklahoma) –
6005, 211. Good
combination of over the top cover skills and the ability to support the run.
Did a nice job filling the run from space and showed the ability to track
moving downhill. Good agility and change of direction. Fills quickly while in
the box and showed good instincts versus the run. Plays through the traffic
well and did a good job avoiding blocks while he worked to the ball. Solid in
all phases of coverage. Excellent zone awareness and break on the ball. Did
a nice job in the short zone and showed excellent range over the top. Sudden
break and drive. Good in transition. Good in man cover showing the ability
to mirror cuts and not get separated. Plays a little high so he may struggle
against a top wide receiver but he has above average man skills. Did not play
in the game due to injury. Eric Hagg (Nebraska) –
6013, 206. Hands 10 ¼”.
Active in practice with an interception in flat coverage. Played better the closer
he was to the line of scrimmage. Has some hip tightness in his turns. Demonstrated
good range on run support. Jaiquawn Jarrett (Temple) – 5117, 196. A box
strong safety. Flashed good ability in all phases. Not the most athletic safety but
showed good ability in a short space. Good break up on the short routes. Understands
zone coverage. Instinctive, did a nice job in run support. Struggled to balance

DeMarco Murray & Other Runningback notes: 2011 Draft

Runningback notes for the 2011 Draft


RB: Roy Helu (Nebraska) – 5113, 216. Demonstrated some burst and extra
gear to get around the corner. Generally he gets what’s blocked. Not a creative
runner. Good vision. Has a “give you a leg and take it away” move. Will dip
in and out with his shoulder. Lower body power and good vision between the
tackles. Hands are average. Kendall Hunter (Oklahoma State) – 5072,
199. Compact build with good contact balance and vision. Has a sudden burst
to the line of scrimmage and squirts out the other end. An undersized but
willing blocker in drills. Not a short yardage back. Makes the quick cut in the
open field. Owen Marecic (Stanford) – 6003, 246. A smart, tough player
who you want on your team. Will contribute on special teams. The projected
top fullback in the 2011 Draft. Struggled at times in drills with a blitzing Greg
Jones. He improved as the week wore on. His role on the next level will be
that of a lead blocker, special teams core player, and an occasional ball
carrier and receiver. DeMarco Murray (Oklahoma) – 6000, 214. Is a
consistent hand catcher with good running skills. An all purpose player who
can weave through the defense. Flashed explosiveness in practice and good
leg drive between the tackles. May be the best receiver of all the backs in the
Draft. He understands the passing game and how to run routes. Murray needs
to improve his pass protection skills. Da’Rel Scott (Maryland) – 5107,
205. Was added to the North roster after a good week at the Shrine Bowl
practices. Runs with lower body power and strength. Gains yards after first
contact. Has a burst to hit the holes quickly. Shows some pick and acceleration.
His strengths are quickness, speed, and good hands. Anthony Allen (Georgia
Tech) – 5116, 223. An inside power runner between the tackles with good
vision. More straight line but can see the cut back lanes. During one practice
session he flashed a burst around the corner and beat the first tackler. Charles
Clay (Tulsa) – 6031, 239. A big H-back type back and receiver. Consistent
hands. Good base and balance in his run blocking and pass protection. Can
adjust on the run. Noel Devine (West Virginia) – 5070, 160. The smallest
running back at the Senior Bowl. Was used as a space player at West Virginia
to use his speed and elusiveness to make big plays. His tools in practice
included his quickness, speed, vision, and the ability to catch the ball. His
size, strength, and blocking ability are below average. Derrick Locke
(Kentucky) – 5081, 186. Is an explosive and undersized back who has agility
in traffic and quickness. He caught the ball out of the backfield with natural
hands and has a burst to turn the corner. A nifty footed back with good vision
and shake and bake moves. A third down back who is dangerous in space.
Bilai Powell (Louisville) – 5103, 204. Had an impressive week of practice and
showcased his hard running ability in the game. Finished his runs with good leg
drive. Good inside vision and cut back ability. A downhill one cut runner.

Gerald McCoy DT Ourlads All-Rookie Team 2010

Gerald McCoy was drafted by the Tampa Bay Bucs with
the 3rd pick of the 1st round. What Ourlads Guide to
the NFL Draft said about McCoy:

McCoy, Gerald 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).

against Stanford in the Sun Bowl. Plays in a spread offense at
times in a two-point preset stance. Can extend his arms and
lock out to punch and force separation. Can sit down and stop
a charge. Plays with a good base. Mirrors his man with good
head position, quickness, and balance in pass protection. Effective

body control. Can cut edge rusher quickly on flat passes. More
of an angular body build lacking the thickness in the lower body.
Athletic in space with the ability to adjust and sustain his target
on the move. Stays balanced with good knee bend. Improved his
ability to wall off high motor double move edge pass rushers.
Long torso tackle that can lock on a pass rusher and redirect
him. Good feet, change of direction, and knee bend. Controls
linebackers on the second level. Worked to finish his blocks
better in 2009. Instilled more intensity and violence in his game.
Can play any of the five positions along the offensive line. He did
the short shotgun snaps, but is tall for the position. One of the top
three most athletic linemen in the 2010 draft. Has the tools but
will he maintain his new found intensity on the next level? OSR:3/
40. First round. (A-34 1/4, H-9 3/4, BP-23, 10-1.73).
