Mike Pouncey, OG/C, Florida: Pouncey is not as highly regarded a prospect as his identical twin Maurkice was last year. That said, he’s a surefire prospect and a long-term answer for Miami’s interior offensive line woes. Pouncey’s game tape reveals a guy who can play either center or guard and can block on the move. He’s got great speed for a big guy, can protect in the passing game, and has a mean streak you like to see in a center. Again, not the sexiest of picks, but a potential 10-year starter at either guard or center, I like Pouncey going to Miami.
...He like him going to Miami at 15. If he falls to 21, I'll take this guy for C for us for the next 10 years. Might be the only guy here that thinks that way, but I have stood alone before.  |
Peter King on Pouncey:
"I think for all of you who think Mike Pouncey is the second coming of his twin, Steelers Pro Bowl center Maurkice, think of this: Mike Pouncey, in his first year playing center last fall (following in his brother's footsteps) had about 100 mis-snaps to the quarterback in the shotgun. I don't mean fumbled snaps necessarily, or snaps over the quarterback's head in the shotgun. I just mean snaps that the quarterback had to reach for and were not on target. I've spoken with a scout who's very interested in Pouncey but sees him as a guard. "Too much inaccuracy on the snaps,'' he said. "That can be practiced, and it should be. But you can't draft him expecting him to play center at a high level early like his brother.''
