Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - The most technically sound quarterback in the Draft, Nassib's quick and compact release combines with his footwork so that he can consistently set-up and get rid of the ball in a flash. Light on his feet, Nassib slides within the pocket, strides into his throws and makes accurate passes to all areas of the field. He has consistently shown the ability to step-up to avoid the deep rush, the quickness and agility to avoid pressure up the middle and can re-set and throw accurately. Not one who will win any arm strength battles, Nassib clearly has enough arm strength to make every NFL throw with zip and accuracy. I am confident that he has the arm to be effective throwing in some of the tougher stadiums, like Buffalo and New York. A consistently accurate passer, he does an excellent job of hitting receivers right as they come out of their cuts so that they can pluck the ball, tuck it away and get started up the field fast. Always poised within the pocket, Nassib does not get rattled as the pocket gets squeezed, which is good because he was constantly pressured and would not have been so productive at Syracuse if he could not deal with constant pressure. Able to make strong and accurate throws with pressure in his face and willing to throw the ball away rather than force passes into dangerous spots, Nassib does not make the errors that many quarterbacks do when the pocket purity is breached.

WEAKNESSES - At 6020 and 223 pounds, Nassib has just adequate size and does not look like the big, strapping quarterback that NFL teams prefer. He has a tendency to put too much air under his 25+ yard throws down field, which allows the cornerback to recover to get in position to make a play on the ball. He will need to improve his deep ball passing to become a premier NFL quarterback because being able to threaten deep opens up the defense and creates bigger windows for the passer.

SUMMARY - While watching practice at the East West Shrine Game I was asked by more than a few people what my thoughts on Nassib were and I told them I had not charted him yet. However, on the Friday and Saturday after the East West practices and before the Senior Bowl I charted out five games and within the first half of the Northwestern game it was clear he was top quarterback. Although he lacks the great size NFL teams prefer, he has enough size at 6020 and combined with his excellent mechanics, strong arm and accuracy, he has all the physical traits necessary. His consistent ability to maintain his poise within the pocket despite constant pressure is impressive and I believe he will be even better in this area in the NFL because he will get better protection than he had at Syracuse. Overall, I am sure I have Nassib rated drastically higher than anyone else does, but I am confident that he will develop into a high end starting quarterback in the NFL. Do not be surprised if he makes a late move up draft boards and ends up being a Top 10 pick despite being viewed as more of a second / third round prospect heading into the Combine. ***While some may start talking about Nassib lacking ideal size at 6020 and 223, here are some other high draft picks that are similar in size and others who have become successful NFL quarterbacks with similar size. Robert Griffin III 6023 and 223, Andy Dalton 6020 and 216, Russell Wilson 5105 and 204, Matt Stafford 6022 and 225 and Christian Ponder 6020 and 228.

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Blessed with the rare combination of top notch athleticism, good size and excellent natural strength, Lotulelei has the talent to be an impact play-maker in the NFL. Consistently quick off the ball, Star is able to get into gaps and can jolt and drive OL backwards to disrupt plays behind the LOS. He flashes the ability to anchor against OL run blocks, can toss blocker off him and has a quick burst to the ball carrier to finish the play. While he struggles to get free from double team run blocks, he is able to consistently anchor to clog up the middle on inside runs. On outside runs he gets started towards the ball quickly and has shocking speed for his size to chase play down in pursuit. Although not a versatile pass rusher, his ability to jolt and drive pass blocker backwards into the QB's lap gives him value as a pass rusher. Additionally, he can be productive when he power rushes through the center/guard gap. In addition to physical skills, Star has excellent intangibles.

WEAKNESSES - There are few things that I can point to as negative. When he "bull rushes," he will get upright and high at times during rush and when he does he can be tied up and struggles to get free to pressure the QB. While he flashes the ability to shed run blocks to make tackles on inside runs, he needs to become quicker shedding run block.

SUMMARY - Going from not qualifying academically out of high school to go to BYU, to delivering furniture during that first year not playing football, through junior college and to Utah, Lotulelei has developed a work ethic and determination that is uncommon amongst 300+ pound DT's. For a player who was so highly regarded entering the 2012 season, I was expecting to be disappointed as I usually am by hyped players. However, Star jumped out early in the first game I evaluated against USC and just kept getting better and making more impact plays. He no doubt must become quicker taking on and shedding OL run blocks and needs to improve his pass rush repertoire, but his physical talent is unquestionable. Overall, Lotulelei is going to be a Top 20 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft because he has a rare combination of size, strength, athleticism and competitiveness. I believe that he will be a highly productive starter in the NFL and what position he plays will depend entirely on what team selects him. I think he can be equally effective as a DE in a 34 scheme or a DT in a 43 defense. .

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - A top level athlete with elite first step explosiveness, Werner makes it look easy beating the OT to the corner/turn-point. When he turns corner sharply he has an explosive closing burst to the QB to finish the sack. His combination of good playing strength, excellent technique, quick change of direction ability and competitiveness let him beat pass blocker with a variety of pass rush moves. Despite often being out-weighed by 50+ pounds, he is able to jolt and drive OT backwards into QB's lap when he bull rushes. A dominant player against OL run blocks, Werner defeats block on run to his side and has a burst to ball to finish play. Accelerating to full speed in a flash and possessing great top level speed, Werner consistently is able to track down ball carriers in backside pursuit. For a player who has only been playing football since his junior season in high school, Werner's instincts and awareness are uncommon and way beyond his years.

WEAKNESSES - Werner needs to maintain better pad level and tighten up his footwork in order to turn the corner more consistently when he beats the OT to the turn-point. Having played down as a defensive end most of his college career, Werner would need a lot of work to adjust to playing off the LOS as an outside linebacker in a 34 scheme.

SUMMARY - An underclassman, Werner jumped off the film and made so many big plays against North Carolina State that I immediately knew he would have to consider coming out early for the Draft. A strong and well built player, Werner dominates run blockers at the POA in order to consistently make tackles on runs to his side of the field. Unlike many players who play so aggressively on every snap, Werner does not get sucked in by miss-direction plays and carries out his responsibility easily. Overall, the more I evaluated Werner, the more his play reminded me of current Rams' defensive end Chris Long and I think Werner can be as good in the NFL as Long. If he is drafted by a team that plays a 43 scheme he should start from day one, but if he goes to a team that runs a 34 defense he will likely be a backup as a rookie who makes a big impact when he becomes a starting OLB in his second season.

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Jordan is a rare athlete with the speed and burst to consistently press the edge on pass rushes as well as cover ground quickly in space against both the pass and run. He shows good lower body flexibility and is capable of playing with appropriate base and leverage, and uses his long arms well to keep blockers off his frame. He competes hard with blockers and has the explosion to beat blockers off the ball as well as close effectively on the ball carrier. He looks smooth and fluid in his drops, and in Oregon's defense he played a variety of roles effectively from a wide array of alignments.

WEAKNESSES - Jordan will need to add bulk to his frame if he plays DE for a 43 defense. At times he gets too far out front of himself and can lose his balance and struggle to change directions effectively. When rushing the passer he tends to rely too much on his speed off the edge, and must improve his hand usage and incorporate a more diverse set of moves at the POA. He battled through a torn labrum the last several weeks of his senior season and will require surgery on the shoulder some time this spring.

SUMMARY - Dion Jordan was an exciting player to evaluate because he is such a versatile, explosive athlete. His speed and burst allow him to not only be a constant threat rushing the passer but also drop into coverage and make plays against the run in pursuit. He shows good anticipation off the snap which allows him to get off the ball in a flash and consistently threaten the pocket against both run and pass plays. While he flashes the ability to set up moves with his hands he does not have a proficient counter-move at this stage in his career, and will need to continue to develop his skill set. Jordan is a fit in any system and has experience playing a variety of roles on the defensive front seven. If he were healthy during the draft process he would almost certainly be a top ten pick, as his potential is as high as any defender in this draft. Assuming teams feel comfortable with the long-term prognosis of his shoulder, expect to still hear his name called on day one.

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Blessed with rare foot quickness and flexibility, Fisher can slide out to the corner in time to block explosive edge rusher while maintaining good base/leverage. When he gets a good fit in pass pro, his ability to block with base, stay over feet and compete until the whistle enables himt o tie man up and eliminates him from play. He makes it look easy handing off defensive end to guard so that he can slide back outside to pickup outside stunting defensive tackle. His flexibility and competitiveness helps him to re-set and anchor well after being jolted backwards by power rusher. His quickness to make contact on side/angle run blocks and ability to stay over feet allows him to consistently tie up and seal man inside on outside runs. Possessing uncommon foot quickness and speed, Fisher can get through to the 2nd level or into far side hole to block defender easily. Unlike most 6'7 offensive tackles, Fisher does an excellent job of staying over feet and under control to stay on and maintain blocks out in space. I love the aggressive and nasty playing style that Fisher consistently shows. He does an excellent job of getting outside to cut block wide defender on quick hitting passes.

WEAKNESSES - It is hard for a 300+ pounder to look thin, but Fisher definitely does and will need to add bulk and improve playing strength to deal with NFL defensive ends. He never punches in pass pro, but rather keeps his hands low and tries to bring them up between the pass rushers shoulders to get a good fit. This leaves his chest wide open and leads to aggressive pass rushers being able to jolt and drive him backwards too easily. While he shined athletically and competitively at the Senior Bowl, his lack of good playing strength was clear as Datone Jones was able to push him around too easily. While he is effective on side/angle run blocks, he lacks the playing strength to get movement on straight ahead run blocks and can be stood up and pushed backwards by man at times.

SUMMARY - As passing has become vital to offensive success in the NFL, the value of athletic left tackles has gone up dramatically. He impressed us with his ability to bend knees and pass block with base. This enabled him to slide out to the corner to easily block explosive, speed rushers and to re-direct and slide in other direction to handle quick change of direction pass rush moves. As opposed to many aggressive offensive tackles, Fisher displayed outstanding patience in pass protection and did not lunge/reach to get hands on pass rusher. Obviously, playing strength is going to be an issue until he gains weight and uses hands better to slow pass rusher's charge. He will likely get pushed around by strong NFL defensive ends until he do so. Overall, Fisher is an excellent prospect with the tools to be a good starter from day one and the potential to be a high end starter long term. However, it is vital to realize that while Fisher and Joeckel are both elite offensive tackle prospects, neither is in the class of Orlando Pace, Jon Ogden or Walter Jones.
