I'm starting this thread now for miscellaneous blurbs, tweets, whatever throughout the college season and the lead up to the draft that don't really warrant a new thread. I'm thinking the interest in this draft will skyrocket very soon as the Cowboys will be picking high.
Anyway, DJ Melly Mel and the Fresh Todd....
Almost famous under-the-radar prospects
Keep an eye on these potential Day 2 or Day 3 picks:
Khalil Hodge, LB, Buffalo
You know all about former Buffalo defender Khalil Mack, who just signed the richest deal for a defensive player in NFL history, but the Bulls have a prospect to watch for in the 2019 class. Hodge is a versatile and complete linebacker whose 154 tackles last season ranked No. 2 in FBS. With the ability to cover backs and tight ends, he can be a three-down linebacker in the NFL, likely as an inside linebacker. He shows good pursuit to the football and he can take on blocks. Hodge had 10 tackles and two pass breakups in Buffalo's win over Temple on Saturday. I have him graded as a third- or fourth-round pick right now. -- Kiper
Kelvin McKnight, WR, Samford
McKnight had a monster game against the Seminoles, with 14 catches for 215 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He's not a big guy at 5-foot-8 and 186 pounds, but he has some twitch to him and was able to get behind Florida State coverage for a 54-yard touchdown on Samford's first offensive play of the game. He did a nice job finding pockets in the coverage and was great on scramble plays, finding space when his QB was on the run. -- McShay
