The NFL All-Undrafted team

The NFL Draft has come and gone.

There were 252 selections over the two-day period, but several college standouts never heard their names called.

In fact, one could put together a solid team from among the players who weren't drafted over the weekend. So, we did just that. Here's a look:

OFFENSE

QB Paul Smith, Tulsa

He's undersized (6 feet 1), but he threw for 5,065 yards and 47 touchdowns as a senior. He also ran for 13 TDs.

RB Yvenson Bernard , Oregon State

He was an ultra-productive back for the Beavers, but a lack of size and breakaway speed kept him from being drafted.

RB Dantrell Savage , Oklahoma State

He's a burner with big-play potential, but he lacks size and strength.

WR Davone Bess , Hawaii

Despite posting huge numbers with the Warriors, he's considered a "system" receiver. His lack of elite speed hurts, as well.

WR Adarius Bowman , Oklahoma State

He was productive on the field, but had a horrible postseason, including an awful performance at the Combine. His latest off-the-field issue clearly was the last straw.

TE Dorien Bryant , Purdue

Like Bess, he's considered a "system" receiver. He lacks size and doesn't possess breakaway speed.

OT Pedro Sosa , Rutgers

He's a bit undersized (6-4/300) to play tackle in the pros (he might get a shot at guard). Sosa also has been bothered by injuries and had knee surgery in March.

OT Eric Young , Tennessee

Young is another who may be a bit undersized (6-4/308) for tackle in the NFL, and he could get a free-agent shot at guard. His biggest problem is showing he's over a severe leg injury that caused him to miss more than half of the 2007 season.

OG Robert Felton , Arkansas

He's a powerful run blocker, but he's not all that athletic and needs help in pass-blocking. On the plus side, he has played all five line positions. That versatility will help him stick as a free agent.

OG Adam Kraus , Michigan

A two-time All-Big Ten player and a three-year starter, but he was overrated a bit in college. He needs to add bulk and strength. He isn't all that athletic.

OC Fernando Velasco , Georgia

Was the leader of a young Bulldogs offensive line last season, a line that helped paved the way to an 11-win season. But he's considered a raw prospect at center, and his lack of athleticism doesn't help, either.

K Art Carmody , Louisville

Extremely accurate but lacks a strong leg. Probably wouldn't be used to kick off in the NFL.

  DEFENSE

DE Bryan Mattison , Iowa

He was a three-year starter for a solid defense in the Big Ten, but though he has a great motor and is productive, he might be a half-step slow and lacks ideal size (a bit under 6-3).

DT Eric Foster , Rutgers

A second-team All-American as a senior, his lack of height (he's 6-2) is a big concern whether he stays at tackle or moves outside to end.

DE Darrell Robertson , Georgia Tech

It's surprising he wasn't drafted. He has good quickness and can run sideline-to-sideline, but he's a bit small (245 pounds) and can be overpowered when teams run right at him.

LB Vince Hall , Virginia Tech

A solid player who has good instincts, a great motor and packs a wallop. But he's undersized and doesn't run all that well.

LB Erin Henderson , Maryland

Extremely productive with good size. He's aggressive and plays with a mean streak. But he's considered a half-step slow, isn't a great athlete and has had injury problems.

LB Ali Highsmith , LSU

A three-year starter for some mighty fine defenses, Highsmith plays hard and can move. But he's too short for some teams, has trouble shedding blocks and isn't that instinctive.

LB J Leman , Illinois

Productive four-year player for the Illini and a great team leader. Has adequate size, too. But he lacks speed, isn't a great athlete and has suspect coverage skills.

CB Marcus Walker , Oklahoma

Played a lot of football for the Sooners and has good size and speed. But he has poor hands and lacks instincts. 

CB Jonathan Zenon, LSU

Zenon produced as a Tiger and has good size and other attributes. Alas, the one attribute he's missing is speed. Still, he could stick as a dime back and/or a special-teams player.

S Marcus Griffin, Texas

The first-team All-Big 12 honoree was productive for the Longhorns but he lacks ideal size (he's a shade under 6-0), doesn't have great speed and isn't all that athletic.

S Jamie Silva, Boston College

He was superb as a senior, earning numerous All-America honors, but he's slow and isn't a great athlete.

P Brett Kern , Toledo

He was second in the nation as a senior, averaging 46.1 yards per boot. The only knock may be that he was inconsistent before 2007

I'm surprised Carmody - Kicker from UofL - didn't get drafted.  The kid is GOOD!!!

And Sweet jebus...how about the number of USC people in the Draft.  What did they have like 7 or something get drafted and looky here.  Theres more of their players on this list.  WTF!!!

Is their whole team NFL worthy or is that just a hoax...?

GO BULLS!!!!

USC could have beaten the Dolphins this year  ;D

Carmody wasn't an all pro kicker in terms of the NFL.  I'm sure he's on someone's radar as a FA.

[Bull Martin]

Umm.... No.

Unless you mean by negative points.  In that case it would have been a landslide.

I am soooo proud, what an accomplishment to be a backup on the undrafted team...Go Ben GO

That's kind of how I felt when I read it.  It's less than impressive.  I wis hhim the best of luck.

Consiquently I met him the other night at a party.  I had to be that guy who had to go run to the car and have him sign my hat and car flag (though I asked if he'd mind first though).

[TheBullies]

Who cares now? He has signed.

[Reliabull]

The problem with Carmody is that you have to carry a kickoff guy/50-yard FG guy on the roster as well because Art just doesn't have the leg to handle those jobs in the NFL. But he is very accurate within his range.

kickers rarely get drafted and are normally undrafted free agents unless they are total standouts with AMAZING power and accuracy
