Grade: 93
Alerts: (B: BULK/SIZE) Lacks size/bulk for position
(C: CHARACTER) Problems on and off the field

Comments: Andrews has good hand placement, rarely loses a battle once locked on. Has size to engulf defenders, is capable of wearing down defensive linemen and dominate point of attack. Plays with mean streak, keeps legs driving after initial contact. Far more effective blocking down linemen than linebackers. Doesn't take great angles to blocks in open field. Tends to lunge at defenders in open field. Works to keep shoulders square to the pass rusher, has wide frame and uses long arms to force rushers wide of pocket. Doesn't bend knees well, but possesses great bulk and rarely gives ground to bull rushers. Great athletic ability, but inconsistent footwork hurts him when redirecting rushers, maintaining balance against double moves. Lacks awareness to adjust to blitzes, line stunts. Doesn't explode out of stance, struggles to prevent penetration vs. one-gap defenders. Doesn't come low out of stance, allowing some defenders to get under his pads. Relies on strength rather than technique. Sets quickly in pass protection, but doesn't attack pass rushers and has problems against elite edge rushers. Has lower-body strength to push pile in running game. Delivers powerful initial hand punch, gets great pop, maintains separation from defenders. Good range, is fast enough to get in front of backs on screen passes and can get around the corner when pulling on outside runs. Struggles to change directions quickly at full speed. Appears uncomfortable in open field, and struggles to adjust to moving targets. Has had trouble keeping weight down. Andrews could play left tackle but is a better fit on the right side because he is better at run blocking than pass protection. Andrews is bigger and stronger than Iowa's Robert Gallery but is less consistent, and Andrews has some baggage (work ethic, weight problems and a sinus condition). Andrews ballooned to almost 400 pounds after 2003 season but is working out in Arizona to get back into shape. Assuming he gets back into shape and passes his physical at the combine, Andrews should be the second offensive lineman drafted, somewhere around picks 7-15

Comments: Williams is an athletic tweener corner/safety who looks most like a free safety. Athletic, fluid hips. Very good quickness, burst closing. Good range in run support, zone coverage. Athletic enough to match up vs. most slot receivers. Takes good angles, very good ball skills. Experience at cornerback, good at protecting himself in man coverage. Tough, power for size. Good strength for size, solid open-field tackler. Does excellent job as ?gunner? on special teams. More of a raw athlete. Lacks football instincts, speed, size. Must be protected from certain man-coverage situations. Lacks size to match up vs. bigger tight ends. Lacks recovery speed if he makes mistakes in zone coverage. Strong for size, but lacks bulk to match up in the box consistently. Will have trouble taking on, shedding blocks in phone booth. Williams is an intriguing developmental athlete. As a starter in 2002, Williams had 82 tackles and four interceptions. He started 13 games for the Terps in 2003 and finished with 86 tackles, three interceptions and five passes broken up. Williams lacks size and is somewhat inexperienced at safety, but he is a much better fit as a centerfielder-type safety than he is as a cornerback, because he lacks the speed to match up against NFL receivers on the outside. Williams has the potential to develop into a starting free safety, but he'll probably slip to the early part of Day 2

Grade: 65
Comments: Leisle is a high-energy player with a tough-guy mentality. Solid quickness, comes low out of stance. Excellent leverage. Technically sound, excellent at using hands to control blockers. Disciplined, plays with good center of gravity, active interior player who can play in one- and two-gap schemes. Strong lower body, good at anchoring if in position. However, has shorter arms, must improve bulk if he's going to hold up against the run. Won't make an impact as a pass rusher. Lacks speed. Successful with rip and club moves and is relentless as a pass rusher, but lacks agility on spin moves, lacks closing burst to quarterback. Rarely late off the snap. Usually establishes position. Lacks explosiveness, burst through gap, does not get great penetration. Great awareness. Uses hands very well to shed and will find the ball once disengaged. Terrific motor. Takes good angles, never gives up. Good power and technique as a tackler. Leisle is an experienced, nonstop-motor player who stays active, uses great technique, and never gives up on a play. He is quick and powerful and has terrific recognition skills. However, he is an overachiever who lacks upside. He is a very productive player who gives a great effort and won't make mistakes, but he is a little overrated. Leisle reminds us a lot of the Patriots' Bobby Hamilton. Leisle might be best suited to playing end in a 3-4 scheme. If not, he could move to a power end position and move inside as a rusher on obvious passing downs. If he is going to play tackle on a four-man NFL front, he must add bulk

For those who like to keep track of these things Scouts Inc keeps changing their grades and rankings. They originally had Andrews as a 94 with him ranked #20, then they had him ranked #19, and not he's a 93 ranked #20 again...and also Lee Evans has vaulted to a 93 ranked higher than Andrews, and DJ Williams has made a similar jump, pushing Jonathon Vilma down to like #22 and they have given a pretty big downgrade to DT Randy Starks...he was like a 93 and now he's a 91.
