2009 NFL Draft - Kraig Urbik Scouting Report
by Clint Clearwater
NFL Draft Analyst


Prospect:  Kraig Urbik, OG, Wisconsin
Ht: 6’5 Wt: 328 40: 5.37

Strengths: Great size and frame.  Very physical.  Does a great job of blocking inside.  Has the ability and the quickness to pull and get out in front of RBs.  Has a great motor.  Does not give up.  Great run blocker and a decent pass blocker.  Plays hard and has really good awareness.  Does a good job of keeping his feet moving.  This shows good technique.  Very competitive and has a great work ethic.  No off-the-field problems.  Has a ton of experience under his belt.        

Weaknesses: He does not have the overall speed to reach the second level.  I sometimes see him simply turn his hips to shield the defender from the running back.  This shows a bit of laziness.  This will work in college but it will not in the NFL.  He missed 2 games after suffering a left knee medial collateral ligament sprain vs. Penn St.  He needs to improve on his pass blocking and lateral movement to be a better prospect.    

Summary: Kraig Urbik is a big offensive lineman who plays with a bit of a nasty side.  He does a tremendous job run blocking as well as pulling.  He is very physical and has great work ethic.  Before he suffered his injury, durability was not a concern for Urbik.  Teams will see that he does have durability concerns now and that he will take time to improve in certain areas; and that will cause him to fall likely into the 3rd round of this year’s draft.    

Draft Projection: 3rd round
