2014 NFL Draft Preview with some cut ups of Chris Smith and Kiero Small.

The NFL pushed the draft so far back it seems like it will be time for the first kickoff before the #1 pick is announced. Most of the Mel Kipers, and other pro draft guys have Chris Smith going somewhere in the third or fourth round.

Small is not likely to be drafted, but will find an opportunity in preseason camp to prove he can play. Fullbacks in the NFL are less and less common, but he has the specialty skills to make it if the situation is right. His tough bowling ball style should catch the attention of a two back team out there who needs that 1st and 2nd down lead blocker/ special teams guy.

A few weeks ago I put together a piece for Arkansas Fight on the 2014 Spring game. That piece focused on the first interception by Brandon Allen and the improved play of the cornerbacks and some changes in their technique.

Here is an exerpt:

"The 2014 spring game gave fans a very small picture of what to expect next season. Several new players in different roles and different schemes had impressive performances. Many of the biggest plays came from Korliss Marshall and the defense. Marshall lived up to Bret Bielema's continuous description of him as "freakish". Cody Hollister, and Eric Hawkins on offense made some big plays. On the defense Alan Turner, Deatrich Wise Jr. , and Darius Philon made several tackles for loss and harassed the 2nd team quarterbacks."

Hatcher at the top of the screen is the primary reciever with a quick look to Henry in the middle. His route is designed to pull the LBs to the middle of the field and does that successfully. Derby runs a quick flat route that brings the OLB toward the sideline.
