I though I had heard sometime last year that Brown from Cal Poly could have been as high as a 3rd round pick. Doesn't look like he will be that high, but hopefully be drafted and hopefully shine.

I hope we have a good number of fcs players drafted this year... it is always good exposure for our level of football

Greg Fassitt, CB/Grambling St: Fassitt (5-11 5/8 189 pounds) ran a 4.36 forty, 6.98 3-cone, and 4.12 short shuttle. He also posted 16 bench reps, and had a vertical of 39” and a broad jump of 10’8”. He led Grambling last season with 13 passes broken up, and was second on the team with 3 interceptions. This kind of workout might move him into the draft.

Albany CB/S Rashad Barksdale has been called a sleeper-pick and after his pro day his stock went way up. I will try to find his numbers again and post them here for you. But he could end up drafted in the 6/7 round, I remember one mock draft had him going to Houston in the 7th that is the only one I remember

Barksdale ran a 4.38 40 at the pro-day and the Cardinals graded him as a possible first-day pick. He only played one year of college ball after playing 4 seasons on the UAlbany baseball team.

Also getting interest are DE Andre Coleman and OT Jacob Hobbs.

He was a projected as a high-round MLB draft pick before deciding to instead pursue playing football his senior year at Albany. His 60 time in baseball (equivalent to football's 40 time) was a time "reserved for first round picks".
