Smith Not Short On Confidence

Alphonso Smith, corner back from Wake Forest, stated he is the number one defensive back in the draft. To help develop his game, Smith has squared off against a pair of Super Bowl wide outs in Anquan Boldin of the Arizona Cardinals and Santonio Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers thanks to personal connections. He didn't give up a touchdown his entire senior year (and quoted the last time he did was his junior year against Florida State), but states that holding the all-time ACC interception mark (21 career) is most important to him.

Toughest receivers he's faced? Former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions, as well as Maryland’s Darrius Heyward-Bey, and North Carolina’s Hakeem Nicks.

His confidence goes beyond himself, as Smith proclaimed that former teammate and linebacker Aaron Curry is the best defensive player in the draft because of his knowledge of the game.

"By far. It's not even close...a lot of people don't know this but he is probably the smartest person in the draft," Smith said of Curry. He also referred to Curry as a "humble beast" because of his polite, yet misleading demeanor.

Stay tuned for more from the NFL combine.

Combine Confidential: Harvin To Sit Out Drills

University of Florida WR Percy Harvin said during his NFL Scouting Combine interview that he will participate in the 40-yard dash and the bench press but will not participate in any of the position drills. Harvin said during his NFL Scouting Combine interview that he believes he would not have any problems if a team asked him to play in the Wildcat formation because he played it in high school and college.

Combine Confidential: Pat White To Try WR

West Virginia QB Pat White said during his NFL Scouting Combine interview that he would love to play quarterback in the NFL but would be open to be a wide receiver or a returner if a team asks. He said some teams believe he can play quarterback while others think he will play another position. White ran the 40 in 4.49 seconds on Sunday.

White will be participating strictly as a quarterback in Indianapolis, but says he plans on doing wide receiver drills at his Pro Day back in Morgantown at the University of West Virginia.

The former Mountaineer had previously refused to play wide receiver while participating at the Senior Bowl, where he was Offensive MVP playing exclusively as a quarterback.

On Location: On The Down Low

Running back PJ Hill played at Wisconsin under the “brats and cheddar” diet and was often criticized that his shape through the hips wasn’t exactly running back-friendly. Hill admitted almost sheepishly that by season’s end he was approaching 240 pounds, and eventually resisted the ill-fated label of “fat kid at camp” when he arrived at his pro workout facility Performance Management Professionals.

“That’s a big surprise for a lot of people,” Hill joked as he announced his size, which is now down to a cruiser-weight of 222 pounds. “My agent told me a lot of teams were saying I was coming in big and lazy…I was always a big back. I just wanted to show them [teams] that…I was a hard worker, I can get toned, I can work hard, lose weight.” If all works out according to plan, Hill expects his 40-time to be in the low 4.5’s or in the 4.4’s. That would be the right type of gain for Hill.

Michigan defensive end Tim Jamison weighed in at 256 pounds, a number that clearly surprised some. His playing weight exiting Ann Arbor was 263 pounds so this could be a potential sticking point as we march towards the draft. Is he defensive end or an outside linebacker? Or a ‘tweener? Where will he be in April and will teams know enough in advance to gauge him appropriately as a future NFL baller?

On Location: Ian Johnson - Bigger is Better

Ian Johnson, the running back from Boise State, is another player who used the time from the end of his college career until the Scouting Combine to bulk up as he prepares to play on Sundays. Joking that he doesn’t care to have pro teams remember him as the ‘guy who proposed right after beating Oklahoma’, Johnson sounded determined to show how much he has changed his body and approach to running with the football. An addition of 14 pounds should make him thicker, yet he is hoping to run a 4.42 or lower. Furthermore, he has dramatically upped his bench, making a significant jump from 12 reps. He fell a bit short of his goal of 28 or 29, throwing the bar up 26 times, which was still good enough for fifth among the running backs (including two fullbacks who were ahead of him). It should be interesting to see his numbers fall – certainly he will be a case of the numbers game correlating potentially to a higher draft slot.

2009 SMALL SCHOOL SEVEN ROUND MOCK DRAFT

BY JOSH BUCHANAN- NFL DRAFT BIBLE/COLLEGE FOOTBALL INSIDERS

Be sure to check back throughout the season as we will be updating periodically and adding extended player profiles.

GUIDLINES

1. 2008 NFL Draft order was used with all teams getting original picks and comp picks taken out.
2. Selections based off how teams drafted and signed rookie free agents this past year.
3. Transfers, players coming off injury, and those with known baggage dropped 1-2 rounds lower than generally expected.

ROUND ONE

1- 1- 1 Miami- OT/OG Cornelius Lewis, Tennessee State, 6’3 3/8, 316, 5.10E
Lewis is an athletic tackle who could move to guard and fill two holes on the line. His coaches are very high on his ability and while this is a bit of a reach, it helps them fill their biggest need.

1- 2- 2 St. Louis- WR Ramses Barden, Cal Poly, 6’6, 220, 4.60E
Barden fills a need for the Rams and gives them great size out on the edge. His production (3-time 1st team All-Great West) and ability to block kicks on special teams make him even more attractable to teams. He is the #1 player on my board and a potential franchise player.

1- 3- 3 Atlanta- QB Nathan Brown, Central Arkansas, 6’1 ¼, 210, 4.80E
Brown does have a ¾ sidearm delivery teams worry about but he is smart, a good leader, can make all the throws, and is fairly mobile. The 2007 SLC OFF POY has all the tools to become a solid playmaker at the NFL level.

1- 4- 4 Oakland- WR Quinten Lawrence, McNeese State, 5’11 5/8, 182, 4.35
At 6’0, 182 and 4.3 speed he brings the ideal combination the Raiders are looking for. His athletic ability will allow him to play CB, WR, and RS this year. As a 3-time All SLC selection he has also shown consistency in his career.

1- 5- 5 Kansas City- RB Rashad Jennings, Liberty, 6’1, 230, 4.49
Jennings might be considered a reach when Brian Mandeville is on the board and many scouts have him rated much lower but his size/speed combo is too good to pass up. He is a great player to build around both on and off the field.

1- 6- 6 New York Jets- TE Brian Mandeville, Northeastern, 6’6, 248, 4.78
Mandeville, a former DE, brings great size and athletic ability as well as upside to the TE position. Expect him to only get better as time goes on and potentially end up a steal at this point. He is quite possibly the best small school prospect on the board.

1- 7- 7 San Francisco- DT John Faletoese, UC Davis, 6’1 ½, 295, 5.05E
His talent is unquestionable as he earned 1st team All-Great West honors each of his first two years before injuries slowed him down last year. His quickness allows him to run plays down from behind and motor makes him tough to block. If he can stay healthy his stock could rise even further.

1- 8- 8 Baltimore- TE Marquez Branson, Central Arkansas, 6’2 ¼, 247, 4.60E
Branson burst onto the FCS scene last year after transferring from East Mississippi CC and earned 2nd team All-SLC honors with 37 catches for 499 yards. He is an athletic player who probably moves to h-back in the NFL.

1- 9- 9 Cincinnati- OT Nicholas Hennessey, Colgate, 6’5 3/8, 296, 5.31
The Bengals go after the top player on the board and fill a need for depth. He brings good size and great feet but still raw. He is not a mauler but more of a finesse player who can reach players and cut them off very well. Many feel he was underrated as only a 2nd team All-Patriot League selection last year.

1-10-10 New Orleans- CB Domonique Johnson, Jackson State, 6’1, 5/8, 184, 4.39
He has the most impressive size/speed combo of any CB in this draft and could be a high riser just like DRC was last year. Johnson, a Missouri transfer, started 4 games before transferring and had a great junior campaign with 5 interceptions and 14 pass breakups. There are some past injury issues but they appear to be gone now. If he is healthy and continues his improvement this could be a huge steal as the 10th small schooler off the board.

1-11-11 Buffalo- CB Sean Smalls, UMASS, 6’0 ¼, 201, 4.60
Smalls lacks great top end speed but brings great size and consistent play to the table. He is a player who could rise up the draft board if he can get his 40 in the mid to low 4.5 range. He is a 2-time All CAA selection who had 10 breakups last year. He has great skills and upside to go with it.

1-12-12 Denver- WR Jeremy Gilchrist, Hampton, 5’8 ¾, 171, 4.57
Yes Gilchrist lacks ideal size and just average speed at this point but it is believed that 4.57 will drop to the mid 4.4s by the end of the year. He does play faster than 4.5 as shown in his explosive play as a punt returner and receiver. He finished with 69 catches for 1,043 yards and returned 3 punts for TDs last year.

1-13-13 Carolina- OG Louis West, Henderson State, 6’7 ¼, 375, 5.40E
Carolina has lacked an ideal running in the past and decides to fill a void with the very huge West from Henderson State. His outstanding size and style of play fits exactly what the Panthers could use. The former Pasadena JC transfer was an immediate star in the GSC last year by earning 2nd team all league honors. Look for even bigger things, no pun intended, out of West in 2008.

1-14-14 Chicago- RB Bernard Scott, Abilene Christian, 5’10 ½, 197, 4.55
Scott is a little older as he will turn 25 before the draft but he brings great production and downhill running style that teams love. He will have to improve his blocking but has the potential to become a complete back. Regardless of his age you can’t ignore 2,165 rushing yards and 35 TDs in one season.

1-15-15 Detroit- OLB Lee Robinson, Alcorn State, 6’2 1/8, 246, 4.60E
Robinson somehow got snubbed for All SWAC honors last year despite posting 82 tackles and 14 tackles for loss. He brings good size and speed to go along with the ability to play sideline to sideline. He is a hard hitter who the coaches love and his endurance has heavily improved. Expect big things from him this year and a potential rise up the board.

1-16-16 Arizona- OT Joel Bell, Furman, 6’7 ¼, 308, 5.20E
Bell has mammoth size and good feet for his size. His dominance in the SoCon has been proven by earning 1st team All SoCon as a junior and 2nd team as a sophomore.

1-17-17 Minnesota- DT Sammie Lee Hill, Stillman, 6’3 7/8, 321, 5.15
Hill is a highly athletic physical specimen who has great leaping ability for his size. The 2007 1st team All SIAC selection posted 52 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks last year. He brings great upside and could be a dominant plugger with time. One thing many don’t know about Hill is that he helped pull a man from a burning house in August of 2007.

1-18-18 Houston- OT Samuel Allen, Grand Valley State, 6’5 ½, 300, 5.06
He earned HM All GLIAC honors at LT last year after starting all 15 games at LT in 2005. He brings athletic ability and upside. He only weighed 280 during the spring but has gained 20 pounds and is back to where he weighed during last year.

1-19-19 Philadelphia- OLB Jason Williams, Western Illinois, 6’1 1/8, 235, 4.54
Williams would have gone in the top 10 had he been an inch or two taller but where he lacks ideal height he more than makes up for it with great speed. He is an explosive player who constantly wreaks havoc in the backfield. He earned AFCA All America honors after posting 107 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, and 8 sacks last year.

1-20-20 Tampa Bay- OT Ben Coblyn, UMASS, 6’6 3/8, 305, 5.06
Coblyn has yet to start a game at UMASS and would be a huge reach here at this point but brings superior athletic ability and could end up being a steal. He is a pure boom or bust player who has little football experience but brings great feet and quickness due to his basketball background. The sky is the limit for Coblyn.

1-21-21 Washington- TE Jared Bronson, Central Washington, 6’4 1/8, 253, 4.67
Bronson, a former Washington and Pima CC transfer, is an athletic kid who can block well. He earned 1st team All NCC honors as a junior last year after coming off a medical redshirt in ’06. He caught 35 balls for 477 yards and should improve on those numbers in 2008. He also gives the Redskins a potential threat that brings the total package.

1-22-22 Cleveland- WR Johnny Knox, Abilene Christian, 5’11 5/8, 183, 4.50
Knox transferred from Tyler JC and burst onto the D2 scene with 62 catches for 1,158 yards and 17 touchdowns last year. He brings good speed and quickness and gives them a solid slot receiver who can return kickoffs as well.

1-23-23 Pittsburgh- C Cecil Newton, Tennessee State, 6’1 ½, 292, 5.20E
Newton lacks great upside but is a solid blocker who can long snap and brings a great work ethic. He is also quick for his size. He is one of the best centers in the FCS ranks and a much underrated player by the media.

1-24-24 Tennessee- RB Javarris Williams, Tennessee State, 5’9 3/8, 218, 4.55
Williams is a no brainer due to location of the school and the fact they need a change of pace back for depth. Williams is a 2-time All OVC selection who ran for 1,187 yards and 12 touchdowns on 6.1ypc last year. He gives them a total package type of player here.

1-25-25 Seattle- RB Branden Ore, West Liberty State, 5’11, 205, 4.48
This is a potential steal here. Ore’s drop is purely due to off field issues but his talent is probably the best of any player in the draft. The former 1st team All-ACC selection gives them a great player who can replace Shaun Alexander very well after his release.

1-26-26 Jacksonville- CB Lardarius Webb, Nicholls State, 5’10 7/8, 173, 4.50E
Webb is an athletic player who excels both on special teams and on defense. The former Southern Miss transfer is an explosive player who is a front runner for the Buck Buchanan Award. His production and versatility makes him an intriguing prospect but his move from SS to CB and lack of ideal size is the cause of a drop from what many thought was a top 5 selection among this group.

1-27-27 San Diego- OG Roger Allen, Missouri Western, 6’3 1/8, 318, 5.30E
Allen has a mean streak and brings good strength to the guard position. A 2-time 1st team All MIAA selection, he has shown dominance and consistency throughout his career but has potential to rise up boards if he can show he doesn’t slack off on lesser opponents like he has done in the past.

1-28-28 Dallas- TE Robbie Agnone, Delaware, 6’5 3/8, 256, 4.80E
Agnone is a great pass catching threat who gives Dallas whose numbers might decrease with the loss of Flacco and thus could make him a steal as he might drop. His hands, size, and ability to stretch the seam make him a mismatch that most in the FCS can’t guard.

1-29-29 Indianapolis- QB Rhett Bomar, Sam Houston State, 6’2 ¼, 212, 4.75E
Bomar does have off field issues and that is the reason he drops to 29. Although without them he is not eligible as he would have never left Oklahoma. He only threw for 10 touchdowns last year but it was not due to his talent.

1-30-30 Green Bay- QB Mike Reilly, Central Washington, 6’2 ¾, 211, 4.75
Reilly brings a strong arm and consistency to the pocket and a gun slinging mentality. He is a 3-time all conference selection who threw for 3,386 yards and 30 touchdowns last year. He needs to work on staring down receivers and giving away his intentions at times but has the tools to be a solid QB.

1-31-31 New England- QB Chris Pizzotti, Harvard, 6’5 3/8, 224, 4.95
Pizzotti is a strong armed pocket passer who reminds some of Matt Ryan. After receiving a rare 5th year of eligibility in the Ivy League he is expected to be among the top small school passers this season. He has improved greatly over the last two years and could be a top 15 pick by the end of the year.

1-32-32 New York Giants- WR Willie Edwards, Bethany KS, 6’1 ¾, 4.60E
Edwards got into some trouble UAB but since then he has changed those he is around and is working very hard. He does lack return abilities but is a solid blocker and is great at fade, dig, and comeback routes. His size and hands make him a solid pick at this point.
