I can give a bit of one, as i have seen him every snap of his career:
Fairly athletic, Great range, decent speed (will probably run a 4.55 or so). Good all around in coverage and run support. Will play OLB either side in the pro's, as he has a hard time getting off blocks. Very good instincts, and a viscious hitter. He could get a little stronger at the point of attack.

Since you're a fellow Packers fan, can't turn you down. I was gonna do some work on the cornerback rankings anyways so why not get a Mayo scouting report out before. Here it is:
Jerod Mayo, Outside Linebacker, Tennessee
Vitals: 6'2, 230
Stats: 140 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, INT, 2 BrUp, 5 QBH, FF
Pros: Has the experience of playing on the outside and inside at Tennessee, but will translate well to a weakside linebacker in the pros. Speed and talent have never been an issue for Jerod Mayo. Managing to finally put the pieces of the puzzle together has yielded a beautiful season with a powerful conclusion to his college career. Runs sideline-to-sideline and has good size and strength to be an explosive playmaker at the next level. Mayo's got good instincts and drops well into coverage. Wouldn't be a great linebacker if he didn't tackle what he hits. Good blitzer.
Cons: Could still get stronger at the point of attack and as with most college linebackers, needs to continue to improve shedding blocks. Has been somewhat average in stopping the run throughout his career. Ankle and knee injuries have sidelined him in the past, but managed to stay mostly injury free in 2007. Not an elite timed athlete so could improve even further on his 40 time.
Projected Round: 1st-2nd

The guy had himself a good bowl game, and I could see him go in the 1st or maybe early 2nd round.

He's not that strong against the run, which is a big part of being a linebacker. He doesn't shed blocks too well. When you couple that in with a talented and deep linebacker class, he could slip to the early parts of the 2nd round. I think he's a first round value, but apparently the Advisory Committee gave him a 2nd-3rd round grade. That'll surely shoot up come Combine time, but that's apparently where he's at right.
