Kraig Urbik Scouting Report

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.
