Which game? Which big receiver?

I believe it was Fresno State and don't know the name. Just saw him get caught all over a few times by a big target.

Small school/inexperienced Qb's available in the draft this year:

Quantcast
QB Hunter Cantwell, Senior, Louisville
Cantwell is blessed with a Big Time arm and the size to go with it (6'-4" 235lb) along with some unexpected mobility. The only thing lacking in his resume is experience. Although he played four games while Brian Brohm was injured, he lacks big game experience. This, added to the fact that the Cardinals lack proven deep threat receivers, make for some nervousness among scouts. If he can quickly mush with his receivers, he could move up on the 2009 quarterback class. As of today, he projects as a third rounder.

QB Graham Harrell, Senior, Texas Tech
Herrell is perhaps the Red Raider's best bed up to day to land a Heisman Trophy. But is he a good NFL prospect? He is slightly built (6'-3") and needs to add bulk. That said he is more than a "program passer." He had passed for an impressive 89 touchdowns in just two seasons. His arm is better than advertised and he does have mobility. Right now, he is no better than a fourth or fifth rounder. If he proves he is not a system QB, a thing he much likely had to do in the post season, he can sneak into the third round.

QB Chase Holbrook, Senior, New Mexico State
Holbrook is one of the Nation's best keep secrets. He is not a household name, but if he repeats his 2007 performance (3,866 yards with 26 TDs), he will be. He is big (6'-5") and strong (245lb) with a powerful right arm. He is very accurate on the mid patters as well as the deep out. He will need more coaching, but Holbrook could be drafted as high as the second round. He is that good. He's a better pro prospect than a college quarterback.
QB Tom Brandstater, Senior, Fresno State

The 6'-5" 221 pounder is seldom mentioned when the 2009 QB class is discussed. Although he probably will be drafted late on the second day, he has the intangibles to hang into a job, most likely as a career backup quarterback, in the NFL. He does not posses the strongest of arm and will struggle with the deep ball, but he is extremely accurate with the underneath patters. If he adds more muscle, he could be drafted as high as the fourth round.

Dev Moore is an intersting back in that he is quick and has decent size, he could be this year's Hilliard.

And from www.draftguys.com a recap of the TX v the Nation players:

Adrian Grady(DT-Louisville) - Grady disrupted plays with a strong and quick first step, and a motor than never quits. He corraled mighty mite Yonus Davis and big RB Jamall Lee with equal aplomb, and he also landed a tremendous initial punch off the snap on Rich Ohrnberger, driving back one of the most technically sound OL in this game.

Rulon Davis(DL-California) - Davis, like Potter, got his arms up instinctively to disrupt passing lanes when he was kept from the QB, and he put on a show of handfighting technique rushing the passer. He’s a useful player who might not be good enough to start, but he’ll be a terrific rotation player, probably as an end in a 3-4.

Louis Ellis(DT-Shaw) - Ellis ran hot and cold, just like small school expert Josh Buchanan told us he would at the beginning of the week, but when he was hot, he was a bull in a china shop. Ellis blew up Andrew Hartline to tackle Anthony Kimble in the backfield, and he also showed good ability to read plays from the DT position. Ellis had an explosive and strong first step when was he was on.

Lee Robinson(OLB-Alcorn State) - You can see Robinson’s superior athleticism/size combo out there even if you’re not looking for it. He didn’t make huge plays like Joseph, but his burst off the snap, ability to fight through blocks, and one play where he easily threw an opponent to the ground all amounted to a good closing argument in the case he built to be a mid-round pick in the draft during the week in El Paso.

I like Rulon Davis. I believe he is a bit older than others because he went on a mission.

FinFan_Est.1984 · Feb 21, 2009

I like Domonique Johnson (Jackson St.) as our 4th rd pick and Marko Mitchell (Nevada) Height: 6-4. Weight: 210. Projected 40 Time: 4.45. as our 5th rd pick.

Those are my two small school picks.

I haven't heard too much talk about Marko. What do the guru's on here have to say about him?

Marko Mitchell

Long strider who chews up huge chunks of the field. Excellent hands and uses his long frame to go up and get it. Production and good route skills. Dominates at times.

1/4/09: Marko Mitchell finished with solid numbers as a senior, collecting 57 catches, 1,011 yards and nine touchdowns.

2007: Despite starting just eight games, Marko Mitchell recorded 53 receptions, 1,129 yards and eight touchdowns in 2007. His yards per catch (21.3) was good for second in the nation. Mitchell also has a nice 40 at his size.
