Scouting reports from NFP
Round 2 - Pick 37 : Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB Grade: 6.8
Scouting Report:
Jerry Hughes: No. 98, OLB, 6-2, 257
A gifted athlete off the edge who showcases a good first step and has the speed to consistently threaten the corner, Hughes looks even more explosive when asked to stand up from a two-point stance and can accelerate around the edge. He's a natural bender who coils up well and likes to play from a four-point stance at times. He has little wasted motion and does a nice job maximizing his first step. He possesses good balance and pad level when asked to turn the corner and likes to be violent with his hands when setting up blocks. He does a nice job changing gears on the outside, using his length to defeat the block, and is sudden in space. Also, Hughes displays a physical element to his game. He isn't afraid to work the bull-rush and does a good job getting under the pad level of opposing linemen on contact, pumping his legs and collapsing the pocket on the outside. He likes to work his bull-rush as a counter move when offensive tackles start overplaying his outside run.
He isn't the most instinctive rusher off the snap and at times will struggle to time up the snap count. But he does a nice job finding the ball in the run game and working his way toward the action. He's a bit undersized and can be overwhelmed and sealed from the ball in the run game, but he works himself off blocks well and does a nice job dropping his pad level on contact and exploding down the line to make the play. Overall, he's a gifted pass rusher who can pressure the pocket in a variety of ways. He has some versatility but to me looks like a bona fide starting 3-4 OLB at the next level.
Round 2 - Pick 55 : Dexter McCluster, RB/WR/KR, Ole Miss Grade: 5.7
Scouting Report:
Dexter McCluster: No. 22, WR, 5-7, 168
An explosive, undersized wideout/running back hybrid who lines up all over the field for the Ole Miss offense, McCluster is dynamic with the ball in his hands and exhibits the vision and body control to consistently make a man miss between the tackles and also to separate in space. He lacks the girth to take a pounding inside as a runner. He showcases impressive initial burst off the snap when lined up as a receiver and showcases the coordination to cleanly get out of his breaks underneath. He isn't the most fluid or technically sound route runner downfield, but his combination of burst and speed consistently allows him to separate on all levels of the field. McCluster does a nice job after the catch, but he isn't physical and can be bullied off the snap. He looks like a poor man's Percy Harvin at the next level.
Round 2 - Pick 56 : Tyson Alualu DE, California Grade: 6.6
Scouting Report:
Tyson Alualu: No. 44, DE/DT, 6-2, 295
A tweener who played the five-technique defensive end spot as a senior, Alualu projects as a three-technique guy in the NFL. His versatility, however, allows him to play as a base defensive end on run downs. Displays a great motor, works hard in pursuit and plays until the whistle. Exhibits good range inside and has the athleticism to get after the ball, consistently making plays off his frame. Seems to be naturally flexible in his lower half. He can really fire off the ball and quickly gets into blocks in the run game. Possesses a good initial thump on contact and does a nice job gaining ball-side leverage, dropping his shoulder and fighting his way through the football. Demonstrates good technique and hand placement on contact. Has the ability to consistently slip blocks and make his way to the football. Possesses a compact arm-over move and exhibits the balance and body control to consistently disengage on contact. But Alualu has a tendency to get upright once an opposing lineman gets his hands on him.
He's stout initially on contact but can be worked over on plays the longer he has to hold the point of attack. Can create space and side-step blocks inside but isn't nearly athletic or explosive enough to consistently create off the edge in space. He's more of a push/pull guy who uses his suddenness and hands to disengage and get after the ball carrier. Doesn't showcase ideal closing speed once he gains a step but plays with the leverage to fight his way through double teams. He has the initial burst to threaten gaps inside. One of the most disruptive defensive linemen in the country, Alualu has the ability to shed blocks and make plays in the run and pass game. He will definitely add some versatility to a defense.
Round 3 - Pick 71 : Jason Fox OT, Miami (FL) Grade: 6.3
Scouting Report:
Jason Fox: No. 64, OT, 6-6, 314
A smooth, good-looking left tackle prospect who displays great flexibility out of his stance, Fox has the athleticism to consistently reach the corner. He does a good job sliding his feet and redirecting in pass protection. He isn't a Velcro player and struggles locking onto defenders at the point of attack. He does a nice job extending his arms into blocks but isn't heavy-handed. Fox is more of a finesse run blocker who uses his footwork to angle defenders away from the play. However, he's explosive off the snap and does a great job reaching the second level and hitting a moving target. He is one of the most fluid offensive tackles in space I've seen and is an ideal zone-blocking scheme candidate.
Round 3 - Pick 86 : Carlton Mitchell, WR, South Florida Grade: 6.5
Scouting Report:
Carlton Mitchell: No. 2, WR, 6-4, 212
Mitchell is a big, long-armed wideout with a supreme athletic skill set for his size. He showcases an impressive initial burst off the ball with the straight-line speed to consistently run by corners and stretch the field vertically. He's a powerful route runner who's tough to knock off balance and bring down after the catch. But he isn't the most natural receiver and is still learning how to break down and cleanly get out of his breaks. He has a tendency to round off his routes when changing directions and struggles to gather himself in jump-ball situations. Mitchell isn't a natural plucker and will struggle to adjust and come up with the grab. Still, he possesses an immense upside and looks like he could develop into a legit No. 1 wideout at the next level.
Round 4 - Pick 122 : Myron Rolle SS, Florida State Grade: 5.7
Scouting Report:
Myron Rolle: Florida State, No. 10, SS, 6-1, 217
Rolle is a phenomenal looking athlete who showcases one of the better builds of any prospect in this year's draft. He's smart kid who spent the past year at Oxford University studying to become a neurosurgeon. Obviously, he has ambitions other than football, but for the time being he looks motivated to make his mark in the NFL. He's a coordinated athlete is his back-pedal and does a nice job keeping his feet under him and changing directions downfield. He showcases above-average fluidity for a guy his size and looks natural getting back up to speed quickly and running with tight ends downfield.
But he will get a bit rushed in his drop and at times allows his pad level to get too high. He showcases only average instincts when asked to read his run/pass keys and is a reactive player in the run game. Rolle is slow to initially find the ball and allows himself to get washed out of the play at times. But he showed up well at the Senior Bowl and has a lot of untapped potential. It's scary to think how good this guy could be if he focused 100 percent on football.
Round 5 - Pick 154 : Walter Thurmond III CB, Oregon Grade: 6.1
Scouting Report:
Walter Thurmond III: No. 6, CB, 6-0, 180
Thurmond does a great job sitting into his stance when asked to press. He possesses the body control to mirror receivers laterally and get a good bump on them off the line. He exhibits smooth, compact footwork in his drop and consistently keeps his feet under him. But he gets impatient at times when asked to bail off the line and has a tendency to fall out of his stance too quickly and show receivers the coverage before the snap. Thurmond displays an explosive first step and does a great job keeping his hips down and closing on the ball. He takes good angles in coverage and has the length to consistently get his hands on the play. He's instinctive and does a great job locating the ball quickly when he gets his head around and adjusts his body to break on the pass. He has a funky stance in off-coverage where he stands a bit straight-legged before dropping his hips down on the snap into his back-pedal.
But he does a great job staying in his drop and not opening up too early. He's fluid out of his breaks and does well staying balanced and cleanly changing directions. Thurmond is difficult to separate from and gets back up to speed instantly when asked to transition out of his breaks. He's only an average straight-line athlete and will struggle to make up for a false step. He's coming off season-ending knee surgery and will have to prove to scouts that he's 100-percent healthy. But if healthy, he has the type of ball skills, body control and fluidity to start at the next level.
Round 5 - Pick 160 : Brandon Spikes ILB, Florida Grade: 6.2
Scouting Report:
Brandon Spikes: No. 51, ILB, 6-3, 256
Spikes has elite size for the position and does a great job of delivering an absolutely devastating punch on contact. He knows how to fill run lanes and stack at the point of attack. He's a powerful wrap-up tackler who gets to the football in a hurry and consistently gets his man to the ground. Spikes is a team leader in every sense of the word. He's a motivated defender who plays every snap until the whistle, and he's a guy whose teammates seem to rally around him. He does a nice job reading his run/pass keys quickly and gets a good jump on the ball. Spikes showcases fluidity in his drop and knows how to read the quarterback's eyes and then to jump pass routes. At times, he has a tendency to freelance, and he will take himself out of plays at the line of scrimmage. But he does a good job rushing the passer from the outside and will line up as a nickel rusher on third down. He has a good first step but is still learning how to use his hands.
Round 5 - Pick 169 : George Selvie OLB, South Florida Grade: 5.7
Scouting Report:
George Selvie: No. 95, DE/OLB, 6-4, 250
Selvie possesses the initial burst to consistently threaten the edge and gain a step off the snap. He's an explosive, quick-twitch athlete who does a great job of instantly closing on the ball. But he lacks ideal balance and power when asked to flatten out around the corner and is consistently pushed past the pocket. He isn't the most natural bender and doesn't look flexible in his drop. He struggles to keep his pad level down on contact. Selvie is more of a straight-line athlete who struggles to redirect off his pass rush and sidestep blocks.
He isn't effective using his hands to shed blocks and has a tendency to get too upright when trying to work his counter move. He's doing a better job taking on blocks in the run game and using his long arms to hold at the point of attack. But he isn't instinctive and doesn't protect his legs on plays away from his frame. He's a gifted straight-line athlete who can consistently collapse the pocket on the outside, but hasn't put it all together yet.
Round 6 - Pick 193 : Ciron Black OG, Louisiana State Grade: 6.5
Scouting Report:
Ciron Black: No. 70, OG, 6-5, 325
A thickly built lineman with a strong base, Black isn't real athletic and is slow to get out of his stance. Lacking the range to cleanly reach the corner, he isn't a real impressive pass blocker and has a tendency to lunge into blocks. Struggles to redirect in space and doesn't exhibit the type of fluidity to hold up on an island at the next level. Black, however, possesses a powerful upper body. When he latches onto a defender, he does a nice job staying on blocks. Is at his best in the run game, where he exhibits an above-average first step and can generate good power from his lower half. Black demonstrates the ability to create movement inside as an in-line run blocker, but he will eventually fall off his blocks. Lacking the ideal athleticism, he will have a tough time making his way onto an NFL field as a starting offensive tackle.
Round 7 - Pick 230 : Zoltan Mesko, P , Michigan Grade 5.9
Scouting Report:
Zoltan Mesko, Michigan (6-5, 240)
A strong, well-built athlete who averaged nearly 45 yards per punt last year and will likely be the first punter taken in 2010 because of his consistent leg.

RB: Stafon Johnson, USC
