Draft board overall prospect rank: #93

Draft board offensive tackle rank: #10

Overall rating: 71* 

1/23/10: A very good athlete at 6-8 310 who uses his size well to stop the pass rush, but he’s not thick enough and doesn’t play with enough leverage to be an elite run blocking tackle. He’s heavily decorated in college, but a bit of a project.

            10/2/09: The first thing scouts notice about Adam Ulatoski is his size and how he uses it well. He is extremely athletic and moves well. He uses his size to block the seeing ability of defensive players. He runs blocking well and has great footwork and angles on blocks. He fits both zone and man blocking scheme though his athleticism makes him a better fit for zone blocking. He is a right tackle by trade but made the first team in the elite Big 12 conference last season blocking Colt McCoy blindside at left tackle. It remains to be seen whether or not he’s a left tackle at the next level, but he looking very good moving around and blocking speed outside rushers as a left tackle. He doesn’t get great leverage because of his height and does not have a powerful initial block. He’s more of a finesse blocker, using his long arms and his smarts to redirect pass rushers from the quarterback and blitzers from running backs. He’s currently 23 and will be a 24 year old rookie so his upside is limited. He projects as a 2^nd round prospect, but with the way offensive tackles have been flying off the boards earlier over the past few years, he could go in the first round with his excellent athleticism and his ability to play both tackle positions.
