I'll respond to it, via PFW's, Joel Buschbaum's draft preview.
ht:6-4, 251, 4.99 40
Positives: Above average size and good hand eye coordination. Has very soft and natural hands. Will snatch balls with his hands and can find soft spots in a zone defense. At times will look a lot quicker than his 40-time in a short area. Can make the deep snap.
Negatives: Lacks quickness and speed. Cannot run away from anyone for long. Despite size, he is a poor blocker who lacks strength, pop, and passion for the job. Does not bend his knees and use good leverage while blocking and looks as though he is just content to get in somebody's way. Started dropping the ball in 2001 and was benched at one point. Inconsistent snapper. Does not always seem committed to football. Is not a big weight-room guy and has not done much to improve his blocking.
Summary: Has some potintial as a long-snapper. If he can improve his accuracy as a snapper and commitment to work as a player, Stratton could make a team and contribute as a long-snapper and backup tight end."
The quick summary, is that he was a product of the Joe Tiller offense, who looked great with Brees throwing to him....
