That’s going to be the main source of information.” Bulaga missed three games this season with a thyroid condition, but said he wasn’t sure how that might impact how scouts view him. “No matter if it’s this year or next year, they’re going to look at it,” Bulaga said. “But from what I know, it’s under control.

11/17/09- Paul Duncan, Sr, Notre Dame, 6-7, 315 11/17/09 NFL DRAFT SCOUT FALLER: Paul Duncan, OT, Notre Dame: Time after time this season, Duncan has proven himself unable to handle pass protection against top talent. Pittsburgh's junior defensive end Greg Romeus, a probable first-round pick in 2010 or 2011, continually beat Duncan on the edge or used a bull rush to get under the pads of the 6-7, 315-pound senior tackle. With the Irish trying to take the lead late in the game, Romeus pressured junior QB Jimmy Clausen twice, forcing a fumble that basically ended the game, with Duncan getting no help. Clausen's talent and head coach Charlie Weis' decided schematic advantage makes little difference without the proper protection. - Chad Reuter, The SportsXchange, NFLDraftScout.com
