Every year we fall in love with the late round scrappers who may not have the most physical talent in the world, but would be first round talent if teams picked by heart. Don't tell these guys they don't have what it takes to make it in the NFL.
Jordon Dizon, LB, Colorado: Dizon is small by NFL standards at a shade under 6' and 230 lbs. Just ask opposing RB's slammed to the ground by Dizon how small he is. They'll probably give you a different story. The four-year starter is a sure tackler who should be a staple on special teams and may play his way into a lineup.
Jamie Silva, S, Boston College: Silva lacks the top end speed to be a star in the NFL, but he makes up for it with natural football instincts. His senior year stats - 125 tackles and 8 interceptions - speak for themselves.
Kevin Robinson, WR, Utah State: Robinson owns the NCAA All-Purpose Yards per Play record, averaging 16.2 yards every time he touches the ball. A tough wide receiver who didn't put up amazing stats (55 receptions in 2007) but led the nation in returns. His future in the NFL probably lies there - as a return specialist and maybe a #3 receiver.
Corey Lynch, S, Appalachian State: Lynch has the speed that Silva lacks, but not the big game experience. Lynch does everything you want as a football player and leader, and draws comparison to another Lynch - all-pro safety John Lynch.
