Kristofer O'Dowd,2011 Undrafted Free Agent,Center

O’Dowd, Kristofer Southern Cal 6042 303 5.16>Injuries have kept O’Dowd from being a four-year starter as he
was nicked up parts of the past three seasons. Nevertheless, if
he passes NFL physicals, he has the talent to start on Sundays.
He demonstrates a good combination of foot quickness and ease
of movement. Has quick initial contact as an inline blocker and
is strong enough to tie up the down defender and get push. A
natural knee bender, he reacts to different looks and plays with
good instincts. Can run block and adjust on the move. Gives a good
downfield effort and is proficient on combo blocks to the second
level. Forces separation in pass protection. Good base and feet,
balance, and use of hands. Played high and stiff most of Senior
Bowl week. Was out-leveraged in pass rush drills and in the game.

2011 NFL Draft, Fullback, Stanley Havili, Southern California

Four-year starter who is versatile and productive. The true fullback position on most NFL teams is going by the wayside with leather helmets and button under crotch jerseys. Ball clubs are using tight ends, defensive linemen, or linebackers as lead blockers. Every year there is at least one true short-necked fullback that grew into playing the position. This year it is Havili. He is the total package of good blocking skills, hands to catch all the pass routes, and productivity as a runner. The former running back brings good running skills to the table along with the above mentioned attributes. He has good vision, feet, strength, and power between the tackles and in short yardage situations. Finishes his runs with effort and authority. A good athlete who flashes a burst around the corner. Not easy to tackle in the open field on screen passes. Can kick out or seal the edge force defender. A willing lead blocker who is explosive. Physical in his overall play.

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.

2010 NFL Draft Running Backs

RUNNING BACKS

1. Spiller, CJ Clemson 5110 195 4.38
2. Gerhart, Toby* Stanford 6004 235 4.60
3. Dwyer, Jonathan* Georgia Tech 6010 235 4.50
4. Best, Jahvid* California 5100 200 4.45
5. Scott, Charles LSU 5111 231 4.55

CJ Spiller is a better prospect than the Titans’ Chris Johnson coming
out of college. He has the same explosive game breaking speed and ability
to shake tacklers in space. Good intelligence and instincts to transition to
the next level. Junior Toby Gerhart gets yards after first contact. Finishes
his runs with power, strength, and balance. Good durability and reliable
hands. Jonathan Dwyer, a junior entry that must adjust from the dive
back position in a triple option offense to an NFL backfield. He rushed for
3226 yards in three years. Has the size and power to be a feature NFL
back. Jahvid Best, like Dwyer, is a junior and is explosive through the
line. He missed all remaining games after suffering a severe concussion and
back injury in the Oregon State game on November 7th. Charles Scott
broke his collarbone on 11/8/09 and was lost for the year. He finished his
career with 2372 rushing yards. Scored 18 touchdowns in 2008. Will play
in the 2010 Senior Bowl. Rashawn Jackson and John Conner are two
fullbacks with different skill sets that should go off the board no later than the
fourth round. Jackson is a big power runner that has good hands. Conner is the
classic short-necked blocker that is physical kicking out or sealing an off
tackle defender. Explosive leading the way on inside isolation plays. AVERAGE

Taylor Mays, Southern California Free Safety 2010 NFL Draft

Taylor Mays is a height, weight and speed athlete that will get a look at both strong and free safety.The way we see him after summer film study.

Four-year starter whose father, Stafford Mays, played eight years in the NFL as a defensive lineman. Big, fast, and an explosive hitter. When he’s dropped down in the box, he’s another linebacker. A middle of the field enforcer type safety that can run sideline to sideline. Competitive with physical toughness and the willingness to initiate contact. Plays at a high level of competency. Will light you up as a tackler, but does not always wrap up. He expects the velocity of his impact hit will get a ball carrier down. Has rare catch-up speed.
