Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Guapo" data-source="post: 564105" data-attributes="member: 5830">Here are some of the draft notes that came from scouts before the 2012 draft:What the scouts were saying:AFC scout: "I don't like him particularly. He will be a late first to early second. I don't like his production. He flashes. He (set up) the safety on the running back (Montee Ball) against Wisconsin. But you look during the course of the game, what does he do? He'd go shoot a gap and go running the wrong way. Doesn't chase. Doesn't hustle. I ain't crazy about the guy. I'd take (Michigan's Mike) Martin over him."NFC scout: "Great kid. A really good interview. Inconsistent. More flash than substance."AFC scout: "Yeah, he's up and down. He's a pain in the (expletive) kind of guy is what he is. This guy has all kinds of ability. I don't know why he doesn't play good all the time. You tell me? He can do anything he wants when he wants to do it. He didn't do it a lot against Wisconsin. He had a little spurt in one of the two games in the third quarter. Not that he's a bad guy, but I don't know if I trust him. When you're talking about a first-rounder you want total trust. That bothers me. I could compare him to Phil Taylor of the Browns. I think Taylor is a better player. More consistent."NFC scout: "I don't know if I trust him."NFC scout: "He plays well. He's another one with a lot of ability. If he's consistent he will end up being a good player."NFC scout: "I think he's a nose tackle in a 3-4."AFC scout: "Big, thick, lazy guy. Got a ton of ability. Would I take him in the first? No. But Phil Taylor went first last year. You just worry about guys that have ability and play lazy for most of their career. Because when they make money they're usually not very good. He's that kind of a guy. He could be a first without any question. Is he worthy of it? Probably not. He can do it when he wants to. He doesn't do it all the time."AFC scout: "I'm not that high on him. He will be taken in the second. I like a lot of the other guys better."NFC scout: "I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. He needs to be more consistent. He may have some stamina issues. He's got very strong hips and very good feet. When he turns it up he can rush the passer."NFC scout: "He's good, but not big-time good."NFC scout: "Up and down. I liked the kid. Really a friendly son of a gun. His father had a stroke and he was bothered by it. It didn't seem to bother him during the season. Nice kid."AFC scout: "He's not for me."</blockquote>
