For what little it may be worth to you....

 

Arkansas has two huge guards in the draft this year.    Neither have a high grade.

 

ESPN has one with a 4th round grade,  the other with a 6th round grade.

 

They have three high level kids to be drafted.

 

Henry,  the TE is a late 1st or early 2nd round guy.

 

And their two running backs appear to be 2nd/3rd round guys.

 

Not saying they don't have other draftable guys,  but that's all I've found on several websites.....

 

 

Yeah Henry will likely be the first TE taken. Tretola I think has a chance to go in the 3rd. He had a good senior bowl week. Denver Kirkland is interesting because he projects as a guard but played LT last year. 

 

Then of course there's Brandon Allen who should go 6th-UDFA and could be a decent backup QB

His strength is getting his backs to protect the football. Collins' fumbles went down by a good margin this past year after it being a problem for him before. He was only at Arkansas for a year though so not much of a sample size for me to comment on lol.

 

Interesting that Bielema's last 4 RB coaches are all in the NFL now. Other than Collins, Singleton also has a connection to Jonathan Williams in the draft but obviously didn't get to coach him since he was injured all year. I know some people liked him better than Collins before the injury.

Hey guys. Arkansas fan here. Mitchel is a pretty interesting guy. A lot of our fans were surprised when he got drafted, but that doesn't mean he can't be good.

 

He made the freshman all-SEC team his first year and his sophomore year he was out most of the year with a scary neck injury that he suffered in a loss to UL-Monroe (only time I will mention that). His junior year he didn't play well and was benched midway through the year. But Bielema has said his senior year was one of the biggest turnarounds for a player he's ever coached. He was our nickelback and had a great senior year though he flew a little under the radar like the rest of the Arkansas defense even though they finished ranked 10th nationally. He's a talented guy, but he's not going to tackle someone like Marshawn Lynch in open space. He has a tiny frame but is good in coverage and has good ball skills. Good athlete too. He just won't win many battles against bigger WRs.

 

He was doing pretty well in Redskins camp and was going to see a lot of PT with the injuries they've had. Hope he can come back from this and play like he did before the injury and I think he can be a solid depth corner.
