So SI has showcased 12 of Overlooked Draft Prospects as nominated by fans. Well 10 of the 12 are from typical FBS (Even BCS) conferences, but 2 of the 12 are from the CAA

Omar Cuff of UD
"All the draft hype is focused on Joe Flacco, but no one mentions his stud backfield teammate, Omar Cuff. Anyone who watched the Hens last year knows that they would have been .500 or worse without a running threat. Omar reminds me of a UD opponent from a couple years ago who's now the best back in football. I think some team is going to steal him in the sixth- or seventh-round and make him their Brian Westbrook. He's undersized, but runs tough inside and has tremendous hands out of the backfield. "

Arman Shields of UR
"I know to be wary of the workout wonders, but Arman Shields killed every receiver and most of the other performers in the drills. He was injured most of last year, but the rumor is the local scout for the Eagles was pissed that everyone now knows about him. He had almost the entire NFL at his pro day which the school rarely ever has."
Always good to see some FCS guys getting some national press
