2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Bryan Bulaga
 |
By Matt McGuire
Strengths: Solid size and playing strength Very physical demeanor; killer instinct Outstanding technician Natural knee bender; generates great leverage Locks on - battle over Quick, smooth feet Great run blocker Good hand use Plays with terrific balance - never on ground Shows ability to slide and mirror vs. speed Very good work ethic Good (not great) athleticism Well coached Smart Adequate range to play left tackle Very polished and Week 1 Starter
Weaknesses: Scouts question arm length Lacks elite lateral movement Struggles a bit in space Not highly instinctive Doesn't have much upside Sometimes plays too top heavy Durability concerns
Summary: Bulaga has very good intangibles and I don't see much bust in him though the Robert Gallery comparisons are inevitable. There is a lot to like about Bulaga, but he doesn't have the amazing size of a Jake Long or elite athletic ability of a D'Brickashaw Ferugson to go in the top four picks. Bulaga will play very early on in his career and I expect him to come off the board between Picks 5 and 14. If Bulaga doesn't pan out at left tackle, he will be an All-Pro right tackle.
Player Comparison: Jake Long. Bulaga doesn't have Long's arm length or height, but they are comparable athletically and play with great technique. I love the physicality they bring to the table.
