Where do you find the tape on all these guys? Is it all online somewhere or are you a college coach with access to the national database?

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (Alabama) Scouting Report

Positives: Great size and measurables. Good speed and athletic ability. Big hitter, and explosive player. Good in run support, and a solid tackler. Explosive athlete.

Negatives: Worried about his coverage ability. Saw lagging behind receivers a little too often in coverage, gave up some TDs in coverage. Fooled by play fakes and options.

How he could fit on this team: Free safety

Overall feeling: Like him, don't love him. Don't see nearly the explosion or the physical player of Pryor. I would not be in favor of selecting him the 1st round. Not sold on his ability. His coverage ability might not be better then what we already have.

In my estimation I like Dix better than Pryor because of coverage skills must of watched different games. Keep up the great reviews.

I disagree. Not a huge Dix fan. Think he's athletic, but saw him get beat a lot. Especially in the two biggest games of the year auburn and bowl game

Jeremiah Attaochu (Georgia Tech) Scouting Report

Positives: Really explosive, athletic edge rusher. Excellent at stunting to the inside. Really nice bend to turn the edge. Excellent catch up speed. Position flex, plays standing up and with hands on the ground as a defensive end. Impressive power for a man his size, have seen him steamroll tackles. Nice array of pass rush moves.

Negatives: Lacking the bulk and height for a defensive end. Needs to get stronger. More natural fit is a 3-4 outside linebacker, likes to rush standing up. Overpursues a lot. Does not make plays in the run game. Inconsistent. One game I LOVED him, the next game not nearly as much.

How he could fit on this team: Defensive end.

Overall feeling: Really like the player for the most part. I think he certainly fits the bill of the explosive up the field type of guy. After watching the Clemson game, he was one of my favorite players. Then I watched the Ole Miss game, and I didn't see nearly the player. I think he certainly has the natural ability. Needs to improve in other areas of his game. Has the athletic ability to be a really really good player.

Double digit sacks two years in a row.. 4 sacks against georgia, half a sack against ole miss. half a sack isnt much, but it means something when you get to the qb in big games.

3 straight years of over ten TFL.

guys got some skills

Starting to dig Pryor in the 1st if he's there, if he's a better football player than any of the DT, you take him......

I agree. Only DT I take before him would be Donald

we will be lucky if he is there at 16,he is exactly what we should be looking for in a safety and i am sure he will move to the top 15 by the time of the combine.

Calvin Barnett (Oklahoma State) Scouting Report

Positives: Nice job of timing the snap count and penetrating quickly. Very powerful man made a lot of 1 handed tackles. Moves very well for his size. Has a really nice spin and swim move rushing the passer. Has position flex, has played both the 1 and the 3.

Negatives: Difficult time getting off blocks once initially blocked. Don't see a great motor. Whiffs and overpursues on a lot of running plays. Does not make enough play against the run. Does not know how to use his hands to get off blocks.

How he could fit on this team: I would probably play as a 1 in this scheme.

Overall feeling: This guy could present some value in the middle to late rounds. Definitely has that quick twitch we are looking for. I don't love the player, but I think he can improve with the right coaching.

That is what I've been preaching for months! His stock is going to blow up after combine

I'd like to see your feedback onVilami Moala if you feel like it and have the free time. Very underrated DT's that we could get after the 5th.

Great job, you nailed it. That is exactly what I was thinking. He could potentially be a Jay Ratliff type. Nice physical skill set, good production in a big program. Get him in the 5th, rotate him for a year or two and possibly get a pretty good starter.

Viliami Moala (Cal) Scouting Report

Positives: Really strong, powerful man. Violent with his hands. Plays with an excellent motor, never gives up on plays. Smart football player, excellent play recognition. Does a nice job of getting in QB's vision and disrupting throws.

Negatives: Not a quick twitch guy. Difficulty getting off blocks when pass rushing. No pass rushing moves. Whiffs on a lot of tackles on the running back. No explosion to his game. Rarely by the ball.

How he could fit on this team: 1 tech

Overall feeling: Not a huge fan. Don't feel he is a great fit for this scheme, does not play with explosiveness. Does not make enough plays for my liking. A rotational player in the NFL. Like Barnett much better as a mid to late round 1 tech.

Deone Bucannon (Wash St) Scouting Report

Positives: Plays in a variety of looks, cover 2, cover 3, and a lot of single high. Gives very little cushion in coverage. Excellent when used in coverage. Has a knack for coverage and knowing where he needs to be in helping out the corners. Tracks the ball in the air really nice, and plays ball really good. Really good at creating turnovers.

Negatives: Doesn't take the best angles on ball carriers. Difficulty shedding blocks in the run game. Does not possess elite athleticism. Not as physical as his size suggests, plays a little passive. Difficulty bringing ball carriers down, not a great open field tackler.

How he could fit on this team: Has the size of a SS, but his abilities are more fit for a FS. I think he could be used at either.

Overall feeling: Good player. I like him, not quite as much as Pryor, Ward or Brooks. But not too far behind. Does some things really nice, but his physicality and tackling scares me a little. I could see him paired up nicely with Barry Church. Hes a much better player against the pass then the run.
