Oh, you want my late round pet cats?? OK, first off, let me say that I'll only consider players likely to still be on the board in the 6th round or later; to me, 5th rounders are mid round prospects... I won't include any players that I think are unlikely to be drafted:

Dominique Edison, WR, Stephen F. Austin
Dallas Reynolds, C/OG/OT BYU
Louis Vasquez, OG, Texas Tech
Jose Valdez, OT, Arkansas
Ryan Delrosal, OT, Dixie St.
Everette Pedescleaux, DE, Northern Iowa
Roy Miller, DT, Texas
Antonio Appleby, ILB, Virginia
Brice McCain, CB. Utah

Vasquez, Miller and Appleby are players I especially like late in the draft...

Brennan Marion WR tulsa.

Wish I could figure out how Marion averaged like 28 yards a catch his last two seasons, when he's only a 4.55 40 guy... everything I read about him says he's not really a deep threat/burner, but rather a guy who will work the middle of the field, perhaps a slot receiver in the NFL...

So, how does a guy with marginal speed, who works the middle of the field, average 28 yards a catch???

Well, I was curious enough to look him up. Still rehabbing an ACL injured in C-USA Championship game, maybe that explains the 40. He had eight games last year with a catch of 40-yds or greater, including a 97-yard TD. Looks like a lot of flys and posts in a wide-open offense.

I would like to add Stanford CB Wopamo Osaisai, not just because of the name

he's one of college football's fastest players (10.39 in the 100 meters at '05 Pan-American Games), he's a 3-time, All Pac-10 special teamer as a gunner, a very fast and physical player

Jasper Brinkley. I think he could be a true stud once he's 100% recovered from his injuries.

And as BAT said, CB Webb. I really liked him at the combine.

Of course I like Jason Phillips, too.

I wish I'd seen more of the NTs/DEs in this draft. Dorrell Scott sounds kind of boom/bust, but I like him.
