Willie Young, DE, North Carolina State
Ht: 6' 5" Wt: 251
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: The Lions take a flier on an outside pass rusher with potential. Young's ability to stay healthy definitely affected his draft status, but he could have an opportunity to make an impact on the Lions' defensive passing downs.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Athletic, one-dimensional, over-aged pass rusher with length and hand quickness to draw interest. Toughness and durability questions and overall inconsistency detract from his value. He could stand up as an outside linebacker in a “30” front or line up with his hand on the ground in passing situations for a 4-3 defense.
NFL projection: Fourth- to fifth-round pick.
214.) Minnesota Vikings
Mickey Shuler, TE, Penn State
Ht: 6' 4" Wt: 251
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: An undersized, blocking tight end, Shuler could come in and contribute on running downs and special teams.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Tough, try-hard, high-effort over-achiever with a chance to compete in a camp.
NFL projection: Free agent.
215.) Oakland Raiders
Jeremy Ware, DB, Michigan State
Ht: 5' 10" Wt: 181
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Character concerns are what kept Ware from being drafted earlier, but he is a good man-receiver and has the strength to play the bump and run.
GM Jr’s scouting report: Ware is a first-year starter at field CB for the Spartans in 2009. He has a good size frame with very good arm length & some definite growth potential to develop for the position at the next level. He is just an average overall athlete with marginal recovery speed downfield as a m/m coverage player. He is most effective in press m/m coverage underneath, where he can use his strength to jam/re-direct the receiver. He has tight hips in his pedal & in his transition in space. He often puts himself in good coverage position, but lacks the burst to close quickness to make many plays on the ball. He really struggles to find the ball over his shoulder downfield. He is consistently beaten by double-moves due to his stiff hips & lack of recovery. He is an aggressive & physical player in run support on the perimeter. He prefers to knife tackle low. Overall, he has great size with limited athletic upside to ever develop into a good m/m coverage player at the NFL level. His best chance is to be signed by a team that employs a cover-2 defensive scheme. He lacks enough ability to every become a starter or a quality back-up in the NFL.
216.) Buffalo Bills
Kyle Calloway, OT, Iowa
Ht: 6' 6" Wt: 323
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Another try-hard prospect, Calloway will probably have to move to guard because of his lack of speed and power. Could latch on to the team because of the lack of offensive line depth.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: A three-year starter in a quality program, Calloway is an underpowered right tackle short on athletic ability but fundamentally sound and football-smart, which should enable him to assimilate into the pro game readily. Could develop into a serviceable starter in a scheme that provides chip help and would be best paired with a good-tempered positional coach.
NFL projection: Mid-round pick.
217.) Tampa Bay Bucs
Dekoda Watson, LB, Florida State
Ht: 6' 1" Wt: 240
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Watson is a good example of what you would want in a Tampa-2 linebacker but lacks the playmaking ability necessary to excel in that defense. Watson could make his way onto the roster as a special teams player and reserve.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Lean, sculpted, explosive workout all-star with tempting athletic ability, fluid movement skills and very good speed. Lack of toughness and instinct deficiency could be restricting, but measurables and pass-rush ability could pull him off draft boards sooner than he grades out on tape.
NFL projection: Mid-to-late draftable pick.
