DraftParty: Highlights of Orakpo, Smith, Maualuga and more


The Full Monty

Recommended Posts

You can find a huge library of college highlight compilations for NFl draft prospects here from DraftParty on YouTube

I've taken a few of the vids here for everyone to check out. Feel free to post other specific links for the other athletes on DraftParty's YouTube channel.

Here are the ones I thought might be relevant for the Skins discussion-wise, feel free to add your own:

Andre Smith 2008 Highlights

One thing you will notice from watching Smith is that even when the running play is not directly to the left side, he will still stone the DE and this gives his running back a good cutback lane if there's nothing there. A back with vision like Portis would really benefit from a guy like Smith. I also really like his athleticism, the guy looks really nimble on his feet and never looks off-balance when he's dealing with a DE's initial first-step.

Enjoy the rest.

Brian Orakpo 2008 Highlights

Michael Oher 2008 Highlights

Rey Maualuga 2008 Highlights

Tyson Jackson 2008 Highlights

Mark Sanchez - Every Pass Attempt from 2008 Rose Bowl vs. Penn State

Mauluga looks like a high energy player... who thrived off of solid line play. How will he fare if his DL doesn't give him those breaks?

Sanchez has good footwork, above-average accuracy, but otherwise unspectacular. He looks decent for a WCO because a lot of his throws were about getting the ball to the underneath guy and letting him do the work.

Orakpo looks good at his natural position: RDE in a 43. He will struggle at LB, in my opinion.

What I got out of this little exercise is that watching highlights of offensive linemen is not fun.

Must be why we draft so few of them early ; over the past decade ;)

Picture it, Director of College Scouting Scott Campbell puts some game tape of offensive linemen in the film room and he's like, "Mr. Snyder, Vinny, check out these prospects me and the scouts have been following closely...as you'll see here, we love Smith's technique...uh...Mr. Snyder...Vinny? uh, guys???

Snyder and Cerrato: zzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzZZZzzz

LOL! Ya know, I'm not normally a harsh critic of those guys like most on this board, but something tells me you may not be far from the truth.
