Draft Daddy's Top Small School Senior offensive tackle Prospects (loosely ranked):
Tony Washington ~ Abilene Christian -- This nimble 6' 6", 300 pounder is yet another draftable N.F.L. prospect from D-2 power A.C.U. Has body type that scouts like.
Vladimir Ducasse ~ Massachusetts -- Is 6'5", 330 pounds and very agile. Grew up in Haiti, but moved to Connecticut in high school. Some scouts project him as a future N.F.L. guard.
Casey Knips ~ North Dakota State -- Sort of raw and he needs to bulk up a bit, but he's fairly athletic for a 6'8", 305 pound tackle. Had excellent junior day workouts.
Austin Howard ~ Northern Iowa -- Not as athletic as some of the others, but he looks great on film. Former tight end is 6'7" and 318 pounds.
Derek Hardman ~ Eastern Kentucky -- Is "only" 6'5" and 295 pounds, but has the frame to add another 15 to 20 pounds. Fantastic overall athlete, with a surprisingly impressive track background.
Jared Veldheer ~ Hillsdale -- It's extremely rare that a D-2 school will stumble upon a 6'7", 320 pound athlete that can run a sub 4.9. Very raw, but loaded with potential.
J'Marcus Webb ~ West Texas A&M -- N.F.L. scouts are keeping a close eye on this agile 6'7", 310 pound University of Texas transfer.
James Williams ~ Harvard -- Is probably the best N.F.L. prospect among all the seniors in the Ivy League. Might project as a guard in the N.F.L. at 6'4" and 290 pounds.
Andre Barbour ~ Eastern Kentucky -- University of North Carolina transfer is currently regarded as a solid rookie free agent prospect, but has the potential to improve his stock.
DD.comment: We'd say the first 5 or 6 players listed above are considered draftable going into their senior years. Washington and Ducasse, who head this very early list, both seem to be middle round prospects, at the point...Knips reminds some of a small school version of Sebastian Vollmer (Patriots pick)....Watch out for Hardman and Veldheer. They currently carry latter round projections, but both possess the type of athletic skills that will allow them to standout at post-season workouts (Combine or Pro Days).
