JangoFett Posted April 27, 2003 Author Share Posted April 27, 2003 Derrick Dockery Guard Texas collected by draftbook.com Status: Senior 6-6/355 40: 5.35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Gambillcollected by draftbook.com 3-30-03 No athleticism whatsoever. Had a 23" vertical jump, 7'6" broad jump, and ran 5.6. Poorly conditioned player who is a power straight line blocker only. Doesn't work well in space and comes out stiff in pulls and traps. Needs to get to a better playing weight and become more dedicated in his conditioning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJ Boyercollected by draftbook.com 3-3-03 Strength: Wingspan Leverage Weakness: Weight Lateral movement Assessment: Following in the mold of Leonard Davis ands Mike Williams the last two years, great offensive lineman from Texas that are among the largest prospects in the draft class. Dockery does have problems with fluctuating weight and how his conditioning holds up during games. The weight however does not seem to affect his speed, Dockery can move downfield and gets of the line very well. Has a huge wingspan that he really uses to his advantage. Has shown he can handle the finesse and power rushers. Seemed to hurt his draft stock a bit at the combine but Dockery should still be a prospect taken during the first day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CFNcollected by draftbook.com 2-25-03 No one was hurt worse than Dockery after appearing disinterested in the whole process. He didn't do much of anything to impress and might have knocked himself down to the middle rounds after being a possible first round pick. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob "Boomer" Rangcollected by draftbook.com 2-23-03 A massive prospect in the mold of former UT blue chip prospects, Mike Williams and Leonard Davis. Lacks the great feet, pure athleticism, and intensity of these players. Massive man. Listed at 350 pounds during the season, but many believe he was playing closer to 370... Rotated between RG and LG throughout much of his early career, before seeing a lot of action at right tackle this season. Gets cement feet and tries to push and lunge rather than sliding his feet and keeping his body square to the defender. Was called the "best freshman offensive lineman I've ever coached" by Mack Brown, and though he has improved over his career, Dockery simply lacks the upside that others have had. Can dominate when he gets his hands on the defender. Incredibly strong and simply can move the pile. Needs to play with a more aggressive attitude and tenacity as Dockery doesn't always finish his blocks. In a pure power blocking scheme, Dockery has great potential. He has good burst off the line for a man his size and is athletic enough to step in at right tackle in a pinch. A consistent, reliable, durable prospect that can step in and contribute immediately at right guard. General Grade: 1.67, Position Grade: .78 8-20-02 Rotated between RG and LG throughout last season. Huge. Lacks the great feet and pure athleticism of past blue chip prospects, Mike Williams and Leonard Davis. Gets cement feet and tries to push and reach block rather than sliding his feet and keeping his body square to the defender. Was called the "best freshman offensive lineman I've ever coached" by Mack Brown, but hasn't improved as steadily as hoped. Can dominate when he gets his hands on the defender. Incredibly strong and simply can move the pile. Needs to play with a more aggressive attitude and tenacity as Dockery doesn't always finish his blocks. The potential to leapfrog everyone and be an elite pick, but he'll need to be more efficient and consistently dominant to do so. One to watch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Len Pasquarellicollected by draftbook.com 2-14-03 Arrived at the combine as one of the better guard prospects and early projections had him a likely second- or third-round choice. But he looked too big, and at timed disinterested in what was going on, and turned off too many people. The fact he didn't test that well is almost secondary to a casual attitude. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TFYcollected by draftbook.com 12-31-02 Derrick Dockery will be a top 75 choice and many are considering the run blocking guard for right tackle at the next level. 8-20-02 Derrick Dockery, the starting right tackle, is one of the nations best guard prospects and a devastating run blocker that can also play in space and adequately protect the passer. He'll get consideration late in the drafts first day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Murphycollected by draftbook.com 10-16-02 Texas senior OL Derrick Dockery was a pre-season All-American candidate... he played right tackle on Saturday, but was beaten cleanly to the outside by DL Tommie Harris on a few occasions... he fits best inside at offensive guard, and may need to shed a few pounds, as well... the staff has told scouts that he is currently between 350-355 lbs., although most believe that he may be a bit heavier... remember that Leonard Davis had some weight issues at last year's combine, showing up 15-20 pounds more than the staff had previously told scouts... he has great play strength, but still spends too much time on the ground... he is a much better finisher today than in the past, but gets sluggish at times... could go anywhere from the mid-second to late third round...

JangoFett Posted April 27, 2003 Author Share Posted April 27, 2003 I'm thinking they project this guy as a back up OT. Nay mentioned that they wanted to shore up depth at tackle, and this guy played RT at UT even though all the draft gurus have projecting to guard. Who knows if we have an injury this may be a good pick. We are done until R7. Looks like post 6/1 cuts for a safety upgrade. We can draft DL next year since DL rookies can come in an start right away unlike certain offensive rookies. the FO thought this was good value, then its okay. Derrick Dockery SELECTED BY WASHINGTON , ROUND 3, PICK 17, OVERALL PICK 81 OG | (6-6, 347, 5.55) | TEXAS By Pro Football Weekly Notes: Played in every game from 1999 through '02. Backup in '99. Started nine games in 2000 and the last nine games in '01. The reason he didn't start earlier in '01 was an illness that left him in a weakened condition. Started all 12 games six each at right guard and right tackle last fall, when he was an Outland Trophy semifinalist and consensus first-team All-Big 12 pick. Positives: Great size and mass. Big as an aircraft carrier and as hard to get around as a mountain. Has good pop and explosion as a base blocker. Can hit and jolt. Strong at the point of attack. Road grader with good leg drive. Good in pass protection and anchor. Good lateral slide. Physical player who likes contact and will finish. Positions well and walls off defenders. Versatile. Hits and sustains blocks. Bends knees. Smart and coachable. Good football intelligence. Has long, 34-inch arms and big, 10¼-inch hands. Very powerful and agile for his size. Good athletic ability. Negatives: Thinks too much. Not real mobile and has some trouble blocking in space. Becomes tentative when he overthinks. Has slow leg drive at times and has trouble sustaining blocks. Does not use his hands well. Lacks consistency and explosion off the ball. Does not have good hand position or speed. Underachiever who doesn't finish. Slow to react at times. Wears down late in games. Hard to figure out because he is aggressive one play and tentative the next. Summary: Has the tools to be a right tackle at the next level, but he might be best-suited inside where he has help. Needs to get in better shape and improve his mobility, but he should still be a first-day pick. * Player biographies are provided by Pro Football Weekly.

BD Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I am... shocked. Shocked! I totally understand taking Taylor Jacobs. He's a first round talent, will be a great slot receiver, knows the system, and is very tough -- no Quezzie here. Great value pick. But why the $@#%$@#% did we just take a backup OG/OT when Eason and Long were on the board???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nay did mention that in his interview with hailRedskins.com, but Dockery? Has he played OG? Whatever happended to the DT and S being the biggest need? I like the pick, but for positional purposes, this was just plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Originally posted by BD I am... shocked. Shocked! I totally understand taking Taylor Jacobs.

But why the $@#%$@#% did we just take a backup OG/OT when Eason and Long were on the board???? Eason has a history of injuries and is a little light. Durability is probably the biggest concern, the most severe injury being a torn Achilles tendon suffered when Eason was a sophomore. Should be drafted by the early stages of the second day. I would not take him any earlier than the 4th round. Long is no better than Eason and may actually be worse. Would not want him on the roster. A player who clearly should have stayed in college. A complete stiff on the football field. Not very athletic, has no flexibility, very little lateral movement skills, and doesn't have a strong upper body(18 reps). Very overrated player who received very bad info from his agent and from a couple of ESPN personalities. Nothing better than a third rounder on my board, and that is being very generous. Dockery graded out only slightly better but that still makes him a better value than Eason and Long. http://www.draftbook.com/2003/nickeason.html http://www.draftbook.com/2003/rienlong.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
