DRAFT TRACKER 2011

Turner could develop into a reserve possession wide receiver with reliable hands who is capable of getting open underneath but does not have the speed or playmaking ability to become a starter. Runs pretty good routes in the short passing game, shows natural hands, and can make the first man miss. However, struggles to separate on deep routes, doesn't have the top-end speed to challenge vertically or the elite ball skills to consistently high-point the football. Turner's a hard-working, coachable player who gets the most out of his ability and will probably turn into a good special teamer. Late round prospect.

Gurley is a wide receiver in a tight end's body that could develop into a quality reserve at the next level. He is not exactly fast, but he is a long strider that can stretch the field down the seam. He uses his great length to make catches even when he is covered, but he does not have reliable hands. He also is a bit stiff in the hips and lacks the fluidity to get open in man coverage. Gurley is tough kid that seeks out contact as a blocker and works the middle of the field which makes him an attractive later round prospect.

Chinasa possesses ideal size and more than adequate speed, but he is a very limited football player. He does not have the lower body strength to be stout against the run and his poor footwork and slow hands prevent him from providing a consistent pass rush. He will not be able to make the transition to linebacker at the next level, as he is very tight in the hips and a liability playing in space. Chinasa's frame alone will get some teams interested, but he looks to be a rookie free agent or a very late pick.

Taua is a hard-nosed football player who made a name for himself running all over Boise State in 2010. He is a relentless back that plays with good natural leverage and packs a wallop for would be tacklers. He is also a weapon in the passing game, as he has a knack for getting open on underneath routes and has very good hands and body control. He will not run away from anyone at the next level and he does not always keep the ball high and tight and puts it on the ground too often. Taua looks to be a later round pick.

Hill has the frame, athleticism and ceiling for development to eventually become a quality starting safety. However, currently lacks overall consistency and awareness. Capable of playing the point, the deep half and coving tight ends and bigger receivers in man coverage. May struggle against savvy route-runners and shifty slots. Flashes the ability to be really productive against the run but doesn't appear to always play with enough aggressiveness in this area. Has good ball skills but needs to be more physical in 50-50 situations. His value in enhance by extensive special teams coverage experience. Hill's not there yet, but will still be a mid-round pick.

Smith's an athletic offensive tackle prospect who could become a solid backup with improvement to his technique and some added weight. Has made strides as a pass blocker in terms of getting set and not over committing toward the corner, and shows flashes of a guy who could become a very effective zone blocker in time. However, he's never going to be a true road-grader who gets movement and will likely also struggle against top caliber power pass rushers. Displays good instincts in pass protection but is still developing his recognition skills in the running game. Smith's a late-round prospect with some upside.

Hurd has the measureables and toughness to make it as a starting offensive lineman, but may need to slide inside to guard. Does a very good job against power pass rushing opponents, but can be taken advantage of by quicker, savvy ends with an array of moves, and misses some responsibilities in blitz pickup. Gets by in the running game with solid mobility and natural size, walling off lineman or punishing second and third level players in the open. Appears to love the game, considering his admirable work ethic and the natural passion he plays with. Has starting potential, but Hurd could slip to day three of the draft.

Pianalto is a pass-catching tight end with good speed, but he is almost chronically injured and may lack the durability to play at the next level. He has decent size and the straight-line speed to stretch the field down the seam, but he lacks fluidity and struggles to gain separation. He has reliable hands and finds holes in zone coverage, but he does not pick up yards after the catch. He also seems to be more of a finesse blocker and lacks the strength to generate a push. Pianalto might lack the talent to overcome his durability issues and justify a late round pick.

Williams has the aggressiveness and build to become a solid backup guard /center in the NFL as his skill-set continues to polish up. However, he does not possess the athleticism to start. Flashes the ability to sustain and move defenders off the ball but needs to watch his pad level and hand usage. Struggles against gap-penetrating defensive tackles in pass protection but can hold up some against the bull rush. Instincts and awareness are still improving. Needs to work on his blitz recognition and positioning. Williams has a really good motor and plays with a mean streak. Potential late-round selection.

Taylor is a smart kid with plenty of experience, but it is unclear if he has the ceiling to make an impact at the next level. He understands pass protection, has a good first step and is a hard worker that plays with a chip on his shoulder. His aggression sometimes gets him into trouble as he will lunge at opponents making him susceptible to counter moves and delayed blitzes. He also lacks the lower body strength to consistently generate a good push in the running game. Overall, Taylor is very coachable and he should be a late round pick despite his physical limitations.
