Researching hidden gems in the draft

[MHS831]

Please share possible steals late in the draft that do not seem to be getting the love they deserve in mocks or rankings. I wanted to share Buster Skrine (CB Chattanooga) with everyone, but the Combine has him shooting up everyone's boards.

MY GEM OF THE DRAFT for TODAY IS: WILLIE SMITH, LOT, ECU

One who caught my eye during the NC State - ECU game was Pirate Offensive Left Tackle Willie Smith. I have found very little on him. This site gives nice write ups on most players:

To summarize the details: Is only starting to scratch the surface of his potential. Possesses an excellent frame, is a very gifted athlete and bends extremely well for the position. Needs some time to develop, but I definitely see this guy starting as a left tackle for an NFL team in a year or two.

Many mocks and lists do not have him in the top 150 players.

Combine Gross's age, Otah's knees, Schwartz becoming a guard, and Williams' suckage, and the need for depth at OT should be a second-tier priority. And to find a guy who could possibly take over the left side one day in the fourth round? Please check him out.

[Mr. Scot]

Possible.

And you know the FO loves them Carolina boys, so a late round flier is definitely possible. I don't know enough about college ball to even attempt a gem of my own...
