Josh Bullocks Grade: 4.02  Position: S  Class: So  School: Nebraska  Conference: Big 12  Ht., Wt.: 6-0, 209  40 Time: 4.51   Selected by: New Orleans Saints   Round 2, pick 8 (40 overall) Grading System

BIO: Three-year starter who moved in with the first unit as a freshman. Posted 63/2/7 last season after 49/10/7 as a sophomore. Awarded All-Conference honors the past two years. POSITIVES: Heady defensive back with outstanding ball skills. Diagnoses plays, keeps the action in front of him, and quickly locates the ball. Consistently puts himself in a position to make plays on the ball handler. Tough defending the run, flashes on the scene and seemingly comes out of nowhere to make a play on the ball. Displays top sideline-to-sideline range, quick to the flanks and possesses a burst of closing speed. Smooth transitioning to run with opponents and has a nice break on the throw. Excellent move on the ball and hands for the pick. NEGATIVES: Best when the action is in front of him. Lacks prototypical safety size. ANALYSIS: A secondary prospect with an outstanding feel for coverage, Bullocks is a natural center fielder who can be used in a variety of systems. The ability to make plays against the pass will get him considerable playing time as a rookie in the NFL. PROJECTION: Late First Round Photo: Big 12
