Scott Wright from NFLdraftcountdown currently has Veldheer rated as his #10 senior OT, ahead of Adam Ulatowksi or Texas and Sam Young of Notre Dame.
Draft Countdown - 2010 NFL Draft | Offensive Tackle Rankings
Sounds like a 3rd/4th round prospect if he works out well. Vollmer's success may cause someone to reach in the late 2nd, but he sounds too raw for that. It will be interesting to see if he gets a Senior Bowl or Combine invite.
Here's a profile from Scott Wright at NFLdraftcountdown on LB Eric Norwood:
Eric Norwood | South Carolina Scouting Report - 2010 NFL Draft Prospect
Eric Norwood
LB, South Carolina - Senior
Height: 6-1
Weight: 252
40-Time: 4.70
Strengths:
Good bulk with a stout frame --- Strong and powerful --- Outstanding blitzer / pass rusher --- Good tackler --- Nice range --- Does a great job in pursuit --- Plays with terrific leverage --- Uses his hands well --- Good balance --- Instinctive --- Fantastic motor --- Very competitive --- Lots of big-time experience --- Team leader --- Tough --- Durable --- Productive.
Weaknesses:
Shorter than you'd prefer --- Average athleticism --- Is not overly quick or fast --- Does not match up well in coverage --- Lacks great awareness with the ball in the air --- Too aggressive at times --- Some trouble getting off blocks --- Sub par ball skills --- Limited schematically?
Notes:
Was a three-year starter for the Game****s --- Earned 1st Team All-American honors as a senior --- Named 1st Team All-SEC in 2007, 2008 and 2009 --- South Carolina's all-time leader in both sacks and tackles for a loss --- Originally declared for the 2009 NFL Draft but ultimately pulled his name out --- Also a good kick blocker --- Appears to be a DE / OLB 'tweener --- Playmaker who is always around the action and has a knack for shining on big stages --- Best fit will likely come in a 3-4 scheme --- Lacks ideal physical tools but is just a good football player --- Could draw favorable comparisons to James Harrison.
He had a good game against South Carolina, I believe he's playing in Texas vs The Nation.Marcus Easley, WR, Connecticut could be a very interesting prospect for us. Reminds me a bit of Hines Ward. Only had one year where he got thrown to (since, before then, UCONN's passing offense was abysmal) but is 6'2, 216 and an absolute animal after the catch. Had an 88 yard catch and run TD vs. West Virginia off a short slant route. Just ridiculous athleticism. His main weakness in my eyes, slightly shaky hands, can be cured with repetitions considering he barely got the ball thrown to him before this year and still only had like 3-4 drops all season (towards the end, most of them), not to mention that he made some phenomenal catches as well that serve to pseudo balance those out. Should run a 4.4 40. Either him or Kelton Tindal of Newberry could be steals late in the draft. Easley reminds me a lot of Hines Ward with his ability to block as well.
Like him a lot. If he had more year-to-year production, he'd be a first or second rounder IMO. Who knows, he might still reach that threshold if he does well at the Combine (possible) but more likely he'll be a late round pick.
