Draft Rewind 2011 – Orlando Franklin – Denver Broncos

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ORLANDO FRANKLIN: Miami, 6054 315 5.12. Three-year starter with long arms and big hands. Strong hands to grab the steering wheel and drive the defender into the ground. Has some violence in his game. Plays left and also has experience at right tackle and left guard. Good punch. Explosive in his play. Leaks through and seals linebackers on the second level. A knee bender with a solid lower body that is flexible and hard to knock off his feet. Good body control. Possesses the size, strength, balance, and base to anchor against power. A good use of his active hands but will lobster grab a defender outside the frame at times. A good athlete with foot quickness, body control, recovery in pass protection. Slides and moves his light feet. Shadows the pass rusher. Can be explosive out of his stance but comes off slow at times. May lose concentration. Has the talent to be an eventual starter if he gets stronger and stays technique sound. Did not run or jump at the Combine due to left knee surgery. OSR:11/49. Second/third round.  (A-35, H-11 1/8, BP-26, 10-1.77).
