Strengths:
Has very good size and bulk...Timed speed is excellent...An outstanding leaper...A playmaker with good hands and ball skills...Has top-notch intangibles...A fantastic athlete...Can also contribute on special teams...Has a lot of upside and potential.

Weaknesses:
Did not play against elite competition...Still raw in terms of technique and is not yet a finished product...Didn't get many opportunities as a senior because teams threw away from him...Has some durability concerns...Is he a bit too overhyped?

Notes:
Played wide receiver as a freshman...He missed virtually the entire 2004 season due to a knee injury suffered in the season opener...Classic workout warrior who went from off the radar to a draftable prospect after an amazing Pro Day in which he ran in the low 4.3's with a 41 1/2 inch vertical...Hails from the same Division I-AA program that produced recent 3rd round picks Jordan Beck and Chris Gocong the last two years...Most certainly a very intriguing late round developmental guy

I like him, he seems like a big upside guy whose biggest knock on him is that he's from a small school, that's incidentally rising in prominence.

is this a race for some people to be the 1st to post it? : ) kinda makes me wish the mods would have a static thread for each pick and you could only reply in them and not create threads for a few days.

Whew, I've been wanting this guy all day and watching him fall...and fall...and we take him in the 7th. Frickin awesome. Terrific pick.

1. Courtney Brown, CB, Cal-Poly: Not to be confused with the former Cleveland top overall pick with the same name, Brown is a cornerback with blazing speed. Though he didn't run at the Combine, the Cal-Poly star ripped off a mind-boggling 4.32 40-yard dash when he participated in a campus day workout. In 2005, Brown had 7 interceptions, and played most of the year in '06 without the ball being thrown his way. Brown was an All-Great West Football Conference first team selection in '06, and a second team All-American in '05.

Projected Draft Position: Third or Fourth Round
Schrager Mock Draft Position: Third Round, No. 90 to Philadelphia
