Explanation of Player Grading System

Strengths

One of the more athletic offensive linemen in this draft. Excels in pass blocking. Has the ability to push a defender inside to the interior blockers and quickly revert to blitzing line backers. Keep Reading…

By Josh Squires 4/3/10 With new decade, brings new fads. Running back by committee and wildcat are just a few of the styles teams are going to. However, none of these were quite like the craze of the large WR. Sure, in the past there were wideouts who were mismatches to any cornerback whom they faced. These days, tall cornerbacks don’t grow on trees and it’s rare to find one above 6 feet that can cover consistently. Despite that, the teams keep leaning towards drafting the larger wideouts. Ask most fans what they prefer and they will more commonly tell you they want the guy that can use his body to create a tough scenario for defenses to game plan against. While there’s nothing wrong with that, everyone is looking for their own Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. It’s very rare to find a player of their similar talent and Keep Reading…

Mike Iupati

OG – Idaho Senior 6’5″ 330 lbs

Pros – Mammoth of a man. Possibly the strongest guy in the draft and he’s barely been playing football. There are very few guys that will over power him. Is truly a monster in the run game. Uses his hands very well in both the pass game and the run game. Solid pass blocker. Moves fairly decent for a 330 pounder. Gets good leverage on blocks. Cons – Has only been playing since he was 14 years old. Footwork still needs work but that will come in time. Makes mistakes every once and a while due to lack of experience. Had shoulder surgery during the offseason. Final Thoughts –Despite his inexperience, Iupati should be the first G taken in the draft. He has as much of an upside as any other prospect in this draft. Few guys in this draft Keep Reading…

Kyle Calloway

OT – Iowa Senior 6’7″ 315 lbs

Pros – Moves well for a guy his size. Zone blocking schemes will love him. He is one of the better run blockers in the draft. Uses his leg drive to open up holes for the ball carriers. Shows solid strength when getting into the blocks. Cons – Pass blocking is less than desired. His footwork in the passing game hurts him. Kicked to RT after his struggles in that department. Arrested and suspended 1 game for OWI. Final Thoughts – Calloway should be the next in the line of Iowa offensive linemen to be drafted. He moves surprisingly well for a man of his stature. Teams that run a lot or teams that have the zone blocking scheme installed will be looking hard at him. His pass blocking skills are not the best by any means though. That will Keep Reading…

Trindon Holliday

WR/KR/RB – LSU Senior 5’5″ 160 lbs

Pros – The word fast doesn’t do Holliday justice. Once he gets in the NFL, he will automatically be the fastest guy. Very quick on top of that. One on one in the open field, very few people stand a chance at tackling him. His low frame also plays in his advantage when he has the ball. As a KR, there may be few that are better. If he hits a hole, he’s gone. Cons – Likely will be shifted to WR in the NFL due to beating RBs take. If so, he will be very small for a WR. On top of that, he is extremely raw on route running. Streak, post and screen is about all he runs as of now. Doubt he will have much success catching the ball over the middle. One big hit and he’s Keep Reading…
