I'm not sure which of Hines, Sanzo and Rolle I'm most disappointed didn't get invited to the Senior Bowl, but I feel like all three would have made themselves known in the game... they were all just so damn productive for tOSU that I know they would have shown well :shake:

I'm not to worried about Dane. His showing on the national stage against Arky will really be the tell-all for the draft.

He's Hartline-esque. And given some of Brian's success, I'm sure he'll get a long look from plenty of teams who want a quality WR.

Matchups to watch
Scouts Inc.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Finally, the players will get a chance to hit someone new. After a week of beating up on each other in team drills, here are matchups to watch when the East faces the West in the Shrine Game on Saturday.

West TE Jordan Cameron (USC) vs. East S Jermale Hines (Ohio State)
Cameron is clearly the most athletic tight end on the West squad, but he's a better athlete than football player at this point. Defenders who get physical with Cameron usually take him out of his game. Hines is a physical safety who will test Cameron in that regard. Cameron is also known for being a better practice player than game producer, so it will be interesting to see if his strong showing during drills this week translates into live action on Saturday. Hines, on the other hand, is better in run support than he is in coverage. He lacks ideal fluidity and he tends to have trouble versus more athletic pass-catchers. Essentially, each player in this matchup has the skill set to exploit his opponent. So what wins -- athleticism and quickness or physicality and aggressiveness?

Jermale Hines
S, Ohio State

War Room analysis
Strengths: Has a thick build with good arm length for the position at the next level. Is a strong, physical, and aggressive run support player near the line of scrimmage. Has strong hands to jam and re-direct the slot receiver, while serving as their nickel back in sub packages. Appears and tackles more like a WLB, than a DB. Has value to consider as a coverage prospect for special teams at the next level.

Weaknesses: Is the definition of a 'tweener strong safety/weakside linebacker, without a true NFL position to play. Lacks the athletic ability, play speed, and range to be an effective coverage player as a safety. Is a build-up speed player with no discernable explosiveness, burst to close, or acceleration in his play. Has choppy, awkward cod ability on the move in the open field. Struggles to break down and make sure tackles in the open field. Has a longer-legged frame, which makes it hard for him to play from a leverage body position.

Bottom line: Hines is a first-year starter at strong safety after starting eight games at free safety last year. He has a thick, defined build with good arm length and some growth potential to develop to perhaps one-day project to the weakside linebacker position. He is a real liability as a man-to-man coverage player against a slot receiver, but does a solid job against a tight end. He is too out-of-control to be an effective blitzer off the slot.

Potential first-round draft picks often go to specialized draft-preparation facilities in the Sun Belt, but OSU safety Jermale Hines is one of the few lower-round prospects to do so this year.

Hines has been working out in Boca Raton, Fla., aided by a trainer, "an interview specialist, massage therapist everything, you name it," he said yesterday.

Hines is rated as a fifth-round pick by NFLDraftScout.com.

He said some teams have asked him about the possibility of playing linebacker - the position he played his freshman season at OSU. His official combine measurements were 6 feet 1, 219 pounds.
