The Full Monty Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 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.

[[ghost]] Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinscountry Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Don't know if any of you have seen this clip of Orakpo. Thought I would pass it on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGUc3UL64f0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddydean Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Anyone else thinks its funny that half of the highlights for both DEs is of them almost getting to QB only to see him throw for a huge gain or a Touchdown? LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinscantbestopped Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Sanchez used almost all of his receivers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Monty Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I liked his quick release and pretty compact throwing motion. I thought his play action fake could use a little improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks for putting all these together Monty. Some of my most wanted prospects in here and all their highlight vids, good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAARedskin Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Orakpo reminds me of the great Dexter Manley...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I REALLY hope we trade up for Orakpo he would be a BEAST here with Albert taking up blockers. But i do like Sanchez's quick release. Its lightyears ahead of Jasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddydean Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What I got out of this little exercise is that watching highlights of offensive linemen is not fun. Orakpo was the only one who impressed me. Too bad we probably won't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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???
