I am suprised that no one is considering WR Anthony Gonzales from Ohio State. This Kid is an under the radar Beast. Of coarse we would need a second or maybe even a 3rd round pick to get him. Just my opinion.

Re: 2007 NFL Draft Hidden Gems
 

matt trannon from mich state is a great call also, ex basketball player and runs about 6-7" or so. antonio gates guy, you could put weight on him or take some off depending on where you want to line him up...but he is a project....oh and lastly jared zabransky at qb, if he is still there late i wouldnt mind him either because he has the speed to play reciever if he chose too and could also be a good project guy as a career number 2 or maybe even a matt shuab type if campbell goes down.

Here is another corner that I believe will only get better and is a steal in the late second early third round![url=http://www.footballsfuture.com/2007/prospects/david_irons.html]David Irons - FootballsFuture.com NFL Draft Profile[/url]

At GVSU (DII), we have a really good baseball team and a major league prospect 2nd baseman who is slugging .850 for us. Watch out for Spud McKenzie.

(That's his name. Honest to God serious.)

[QUOTE=holcknowsbest;297996]i like the jackson kid at dt. hell of a player in the middle in a tough sec conference. i am real high on yamon figures out of tcu. he is a wr with some serious speed and is a return guy, i know we have randle el but this guys speed is hard to pass up on. another player i like late is safety john wendling from wyoming and or sabby piscotelli who is a safety at oregon state. another wr i like is deion williams out of virginia, he had some injuries last year but when he is healthy he makes some serious plays ask josh wilson at maryland, they grew up together.[/QUOTE]

I went to school with Deyon's brother, Lauren, at Bishop McNamara HS in MD. This was waaaaayyy b4 he went to UVA. He used to throw the ball in the parking lot during football games.

Now we are talking about drafting him. Now, I know I am getting old...lol

Re: 2007 NFL Draft Hidden Gems
 

Picking the late rounders is a complete crapshoot--at least for now. Even if you end up drafting one of the very select few with a considerable future ahead of him, theres no guarentee that even the best of coaches will be able to identify this. Had Bledsoe not ruptured that artery, the Patriots may never had diagnosed Tom Brady as anything more than a competant backup.

The best possible strategy is to stock up on late rounders and give yourself as many chances as you can.

The early rounds are like making an expensive investment, while the late rounds are like playing the lottery, in nearly every way.
