Posted by Aaron Wilson on April 14, 2009, 4:33 p.m. EDT

University of Iowa cornerback Bradley Fletcher has been scheduled for five visits with NFL teams, including the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a league source.

A projected third-round draft pick, Fletcher has also visited the New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons and the Indianapolis Colts.

The 6′1,” 196-pound defensive back ran the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine and registered a 40-inch vertical leap and a 10-7 broad jump at his campus Pro Day workout. Fletcher improved his 40-yard dash time to 4.44 seconds at his Pro Day.

Fletcher performed well at the East-West Shrine Game, according to several published reports.

Fletcher has recorded 152 career tackles, five interceptions and 17 pass deflections.

Was a late second day pick before the Shrine Game. Now he's a 3rd rounder? Wow.

BRADLEY FLETCHER MEASURABLES
Height: 6-0 Weight: 196
40-yard dash: 4.59 10-yard dash: 1.47
20-yard shuttle: 4.32 60-yard shuttle:
Broad jump: 10-2 225-lb. bench: 20
3-cone drill: 7.04 Vertical jump: 38
Wonderlic: 20-yard dash: 2.59



War Room analysis
Strengths: Has a good size-to-speed ratio. Looks the part of an NFL cornerback, with long arms and legs. Uses his size to intimidate receivers. Is good in traffic, knocking balls away. Plays with good strength near the line when needed. Is a solid run defender who tackles well and looks for big hits. Shows good range and above-average toughness.

Weaknesses: Is a one-speed player, showing below-average closing burst. Lacks flexibility; plays high and shows stiff knees and hips. Doesn't have sound technique. Lacks natural hands, often fighting balls. When playing "off" man-to-man coverage, gets shaken in the open field. Does not always play smart.

Bottom line: Fletcher is a good-looking athlete but only a decent player. He may have to move to safety in the NFL because his stiff hips limit his ability in coverage. Fletcher could hang around the league for at least a couple of seasons as a special teams contributor.

Cowboyjoe, didn't you see that POS mock that Sporting News put out? They are just about the worst scouting publication ever. I wouldn't wipe my *** with the paper they write their scouting reports on.
