He's been measured at only 5'9", 177 pounds and his 40 time has been verified in the 4.65-4.67 area. He'll need to bulk up, get faster and stay out of trouble if he wants to get drafted. At this point, he's rated a low priority free agent.

Doc's Sports: 2009 N.F.L. Rookie of the Year Predictions/Odds.

Former Ohio State wide receiver Brian Hartline has a chance to start for the Miami Dolphins as a rookie.

DD.Comment: Hartline's lackluster stats last season were mostly due to O.S.U.'s poor quarterback play. That, coupled with his strong track history and great Combine workouts, is why we rated him as a 3rd rounder last spring, while most sites pegged him as a 7th rounder or undrafted free agent...We see no reason why Hartline can't develop into a solid #2 receiver early in his career. If Ted Ginn can elevate his game even more after a promising sophomore year in the N.F.L. and former undrafted free agent Davone Bess can handle the slot fulltime, the Dolphins could have a strong receiving corp for several years.

A couple Northern Illinois stars, including safety David Bryant are working hard and have N.F.L. aspirations.

DD.Comment: Per our very credible sources, both Bryant and Mike Salerno are currently regarded as priority free agent type prospects going into their senior seasons. N.I.U. offensive linemen Jason Onyebuagu and Eddie Adamski are also regarded as free agents going into their senior years, but rated just a shade below Bryant and Salerno.

U.S.C. safety Taylor Mays continues to be hyped as a Heisman Trophy candidate by the fawning media.

DD.Comment: It's hard to understand how a safety that has collected a total of one interception (10/06/07 @ Stanford for 0 yards), forced one fumble and recorded 2 tackles for loss the last two years combined (26 games) is getting so much Heisman hype? By the way, while the media often reports that he runs a 4.26/40, we know for a fact that N.F.L. scouts have "estimated" his 40 time at 4.50. It's possible that scouts have adjusted his "reported" pro day 40 times upward due to the fact that U.S.C.'s players run on a uber-fast track. Either way, we'll find out at the next N.F.L. Combine, if he agrees to run on the same track as the others -- quite a few U.S.C. stars have refused to do that the last five years. Right now, scouts project him as a first round pick, although we've been told a few N.F.L. teams believe he's better suited to play linebacker at the next level...Also, just for reference, in the last two seasons (as a true freshman and sophomore) Tennessee's Eric Berry has picked off 12 passes for a total of 487 yards and 3 TD's and plays some on offense. He's clearly an example of a kid that really does deserve serious Heisman hype, but won't likely be in the race because he's a defensive player.

DD.Comment: Shane Carter is the younger brother of former N.F.L. star/current ESPN analyst Cris Carter. If he does not play this season he won't be able to face his nephew Duron Carter, who is a promising freshman wide receiver at Ohio State. Shane Carter looked like a sure-fire future N.F.L. prospect when he intercepted 7 passes back in 2007, but his career has rapidly gone down hill since that point.

After spending three years as Pat White's backup, Jarrett Brown is West Virginia's starter.

DD.Comment: Brown is one of the more fascinating quarterback prospects, as he appears to have received a 4th to 5th round projection from N.F.L. teams heading into his senior year, even though he hasn't played much at West Virginia. Scouts have measured him at a shade over 6'2", 220 pounds and estimate he runs in the 4.6 area. More importantly, they believe he possesses an N.F.L. caliber arm.

DD.Comment: Based on our info from scouting sources, Kopa is currently rated a bit higher than Marinelli, but both could be drafted with strong senior seasons. Tailback Toby Gerhart is, by a wide margin, the highest rated prospect at Stanford going into the 2009 season. He seems to have a latter 2nd/3rd round projection at this point.

Former Kent State quarterback Julian Edelman makes a quick impact as a receiver/return specialist with the Patriots.

DD.Comment: We noted in the blog well over a year ago that N.F.L. scouts were comparing Edelman to ex-K.S.U. quarterback Josh Cribbs, who is now a Pro Bowl caliber return specialist for the Cleveland Browns. It's way too early to say Edelman will be the same type player, but he was a definite steal in round 7 and he could be better than Cribbs as a wide receiver, even if he doesn't have the same impact returning kicks and punts.

Scout.com takes a closer look at Alabama's dynamic return specialist/defensive back Javier Arenas.

DD.Comment: Scouts have measured Arenas at a shade over 5'8" and 190 pounds. They have his 40 time in the 4.60 area, so he's more of a quick, agile over-achiever type at cornerback, rather than a natural speed blazer. Those numbers provide insight into why he was so lightly recruited coming out of high school and, at the same time, shows why size and 40 speed tends to be overrated for many players. Scouts currently have Arenas in the 3rd to 4th round area for next springs draft.

South Carolina junior defensive end Cliff Matthews has been working at tight end a little bit this summer.

DD.Comment: This is noteworthy because Cliff was a 5-star recruit as a defensive player, but he hasn't made a huge impact for the Gamecocks at defensive end or outiside linebacker. Some think 2009 will be his breakout season at defensive end, but U.S.C.'s coaches have hinted that his N.F.L. future might be at tight end. As is noted in his bio-link, Matthews is a hard working, high-motor player, so it's not like he's a 5-star slacker, not reaching his potential due to indifference. It's just a matter of maximizing his skills and some believe he might be better suited to play on the offensive side of the ball at the next level?

Mark Herzlich was the top rated prospect (overall) by National Scouting and Mike McLaughlin got a much higher grade from scouts than we even expected (and we liked him a lot) -- 3rd to 5th round? His measurables and pre-season grades were very to similar to the grades and projections recent draft picks Scott McKillop and Jason Phillips received going into their senior years.

DD.Comment: According to our sources, Hiller is heading into his senior year with a draft projection in the 3rd to 5th round range. Scouts measured him at 6'4" even and 230 pounds. LeFevour, who was measured at a shade below 6' 3" and 223 pounds at his Pro Day, is rated slighly ahead of Hiller, at this point.

Patrick Finley of The Arizona Daily Star looks at U.S.C. linebacker Taylor Mays.

DD.Comment: We've seen quite a few articles about Mays the last few days and this is the first one we linked because it's well written -- it points out his flaws, as well as his obvious talent. The writer is absolutely correct when he notes some N.F.L. teams view Taylor as a potential N.F.L. linebacker, while other teams see him as a future safety. We mentioned in the blog three years ago that Pete Carroll felt Mays would eventually make a great N.F.L. linebacker due to his excellent size/speed combination. In that sense, he's similar to Brian Urlacher, who Tony Dungy has openly admitted he really wanted to draft as a free safety in the spring of 2000 so he could pair him with future Hall of Famer John Lynch in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary. Obviously, Chicago drafted Urlacher and he was bulked up real quickly and moved to middle linebacker. So it will come down to which team drafts him in the first round of the 2010 draft and where they think he best fits their scheme.

Two more quick points: One, while most on the Net are reporting Mays ran between a 4.25 and 4.29 at his Pro Day, N.F.L. scouts currently have him listed at 6' 3", 235 pounds and they "estimate" his 40 time at 4.50. That's not surprising, when you consider U.S.C.'s track is so blazing fast that even their place-kicker ran sub 4.5's the last two springs. Teams adjust 40 times based on surface and weather conditions sometimes...Two, it doesn't surprise us that Mays made the remark that he returned to U.S.C. to improve as a football player, not just to attend parties and chase girls. Several months back Tony Pauline of TFY noted Mays primarily returned to school because he fell in love with a cheerleader. Obviously, that's not what N.F.L. scouts want to hear, so he's trying hard to down play that.
