OT - COREY ROBINSON
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Has a massive frame and very long arms. Uses length to redirect pass rushers beyond quarterback when beaten by speed. Moves better than expected for a man his size. Recognizes twists and collects them. Uses his size to his advantage when blocking for power running game. Cut back on penalties and quarterback pressures allowed as he continued to show improvement at the position. Will quick-set speed rushers to take away their burst advantage.
WEAKNESSES Gallops in pass protection, causing his base to narrow. Doesn't always stay busy from snap to snap. Shows very little strength in his redirect on inside moves. Will take a false step forward with his left foot at times. Hands are rarely in a ready position to shoot punch in pass protection. Has average body coordination and plays on skates. Is forced to open up early against speed rushers and panics to recover.
NFL COMPARISON John Jerry
BOTTOM LINE Hulking tackle, but needs to do more with it. Doesn't have the kick-slide to consistently get out to meet speed off the edge, and when faced with inside moves, he struggles to move feet and secure the gap. Foot quickness could benefit if he trimmed down, but a move inside could be considered if teams feel like he can play with enough bend.
PROJECTIONS
Walter Football - Rd 3, #82 Overall, to Houston
DraftTek - 3rd Rd, #94 Overall, to Green Bay
CBS Sports - 5th Rd projection
COMBINE RESULTS
28 Bench Reps (good for 10th place out of the 50-ish OL there.)
Did not do any running drills.

DT - JT SURRATT
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Has a low center of gravity and maintains leverage throughout snap. Looks to jolt offensive linemen with post-snap punch. Won't just allow himself to be blocked against the run -- fights to get off the block and make a play. Has good foot quickness on the interior. Sees it, thumps with his punch, shuffles and mirrors the ball carrier. Possesses good strength in his hands and can hold his ground against double teams. Can change directions well and gets off the snap quickly.
WEAKNESSES Short levers for an interior player. Generally ineffective as interior rusher. Needs to improve hand usage in pass rush and learn to threaten the edge of the guard. Gets fewer effort sacks than he should. Turns motor off when he senses his pass rush is stalled. Will pursue run down the line, but his secondary pursuit can be lazy and lackluster. Inconsistent tackle quality. Doesn't disengage quickly enough to make plays on the other side of the line.
NFL COMPARISON Dwan Edwards
BOTTOM LINE Surratt's effort is good inside the tackle box and he's tough at the point of attack, but he won't impress with production or game-changing plays. The twitch and traits are very average, but he can punch in and out and give a team a solid day's work. He's a rotational lineman with an ability to hit spot starts in case of injury.

PROJECTIONS
CBS Sports - FA
COMBINE RESULTS
40 yd - 5.19
Bench Reps - 29
Vertical - 30 Inches
Broad Jump - 106 Inches
3 Cone - 7.78 Seconds
20 Yd Shuttle - 4.71 Seconds
All together, Surratt had a better Combine than I thought he would. I think he helped his chances of getting drafted. He wasn't a Top Performer in any of the categories, but he wasn't last either. I think he actually did enough to end up getting drafted, when he was on the bubble of doing that before the Combine.
UPDATE Right now it looks like the Rams might be interested in him in the 6th or 7th Rd.
