			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Percy Harvin</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Position</strong>: Wide Receiver/ Running back<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>School</strong>: Florida</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Size</strong>: 5&#8217;11/ 192 lbs.</span></span></p>
<h3>Combine Results:</h3>
<p>40 yard dash- 4.41 sec</p>
<p>Bench Press- 19 reps</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/dools102"><span style="color: #0000ff;">(Video thanks to dools102)</span></a></p>
<p><object width="480" height="295" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/GzyoYCm5QVo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GzyoYCm5QVo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1114598"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Percy Harvin Scouting Report</strong></span></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Considered one of the most explosive players in recent memory, Harvin is capable of breaking a screen pass into a touchdown on any given play. A living, breathing highlight reel.  His coach calls him the best player in America. At the University of Florida, he averaged 9.4 yards per carry and 16.1 yards per catch. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">At his pro day, Harvin caught every ball, ran extremely well on his routes, and displayed that elite burst out of his stance that makes NFL teams salivate. Great strength-to-weight ratio. His versatility forces opponents to account for his whereabouts on every play. Despite his small stature, he shows the courage to meet larger defenders head on. Very effective in goal-line/short yardage situations.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Has injury concerns, doesn&#8217;t have a true position.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Late first round selection.</span></span></p>

</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Position</strong>: Running back<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>School</strong>: Ohio State<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Size</strong>: 6&#8217;1/ 235 lbs.</span></span></p>
<h3>Combine Results:</h3>
<p>40 yard dash- 4.59 sec</p>
<p>Bench Press- 25 reps</p>

<p><a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1117597"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Chris Wells Scouting Report</span></strong></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">A big runner with better decent straight line speed. Shiftier than most athletes his size, but ever since he injured his foot, he tended to resort to  jukes instead of using his immense power to bulldoze opponents. Strength is running between the tackles, but he has long arms, giving him a brilliant stiff arm to stun oncoming tacklers when trying to reach the edge. Excellent north/south runner. Statistically a very productive HB in a tough power running conference in college.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Only an average receiver and blocker. Injuries hampered his production, bringing into question his desire and overall toughness. Not a vocal leader.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Late first round selection.<br />

<p><a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/516519"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Aaron Curry Scouting Report</span></strong></a></p>
<p>Said to be the most complete player of 2009, Aaron Curry is a once in a decade kind of player. Very well could be one of the fastest linebackers in football, very strong, great tackler. Incredible intensity, likens himself to Ravens&#8217; linebacker Ray Lewis. Has a good feel for coverage and shows soft hands for a man of his size. Proven team leader who earns respect of his peers with his amazing work ethic. Extremely versatile, multi-dimensional player. Great field awareness and good understanding of the game.</p>
<p>Wasn&#8217;t asked to rush the passer often enough to develop a pass rush repertoire.</p>
<p>Top 5 talent.</p>

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Known for his  physicality, Michael Crabtree plays like a sledgehammer with legs. Especially physical when the ball is in the air, shows good awareness of the sidelines, uses his body to wall of defenders from the ball. Extremely productive in college (1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns last year). Superb hands, very reliable even in clutch situations. Tough, willing to play with minor injuries. Excellent at gaining additional yardage after the catch.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Lacks elite speed, displays poor ball protection, some injury concerns.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Overall, top 10 pick.<br />

Tends to force throws into tight spaces, but that is due to his supreme confidence in his ability. Needs to work on his touch a bit, yet he excels at throwing deep passes where he can showcase his incredible arm strength. Did a heck of a job in the interview process during the combine. Decent mobility and has better than average pocket awareness.  No known character issues. Ideal competitor. Needs to improve his decision-making.  Top 10 talent.</span><br />

Become the scout and evaluate which players you would like to see on your favorite team. Also, I will continue to post my Hybrid mock draft until it is finished.<br />
Note: As I am not what you would call an experienced talent evaluator, I will provide a link to CBSsports NFLDraftscout&#8217;s player analysis. But I will add a few notes from my point of view.</em></p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Rey Maualuga </span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Position</strong>: Inside Linebacker</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>School</strong>: Southern Cal (USC)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Size</strong>: 6&#8217;2/ 249 lbs.</span></span></p>
<h3>Combine Results:</h3>
<p>40 yard dash- 4.8 sec</p>
<p>Bench Press-23 reps</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/paperclipsmith"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>(Video thanks to Paperclipsmith</em>)</span></a></p>
<p><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntv0VB7HDgo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntv0VB7HDgo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>

<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/559367"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Rey Maualuga Scouting Report</span></a></span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">One of the nastiest, hardest hitting linebackers in college football. Quarterbacks wet their pants thinking about being hit by Maualuga. Covers the field well, and gives good effort all the time. He shows a passion for the game, and likes to have a good time on and off the field. Doesn&#8217;t possess blinding speed or incredible hands, but is very instinctive and punishes the ball carrier. Played his best games against top competition. Of all the players in the first round, Maualuga seems slightly underrated and should enjoy an amazing NFL career.</span><br />
