Merged: Dolphins meet with UCF RB Kevin Smith

He is someone that is on my all sleeper list. I watched him play last year and he is one of my top 2 backs on my list. It is between him and McFadden but I have doubts about DMacs durability as a NFL back because of his running style.
 
we wont take a rb this year. taht is one position along with safety that i dont see us drafting
 
Maybe another smokescreen to get someone to trade up with us to grab him in later rounds
 
We don't know how healthy Ronnie is and Ricky is only signed for this year. I don't think it is a screen.
 
Looks fast.. Nice feet and stride.. Doesnt look like a power back, more like an east west type runner
 
how big is this dude? what kind of runner is he?
http://www.footballsfuture.com/2008/prospects/kevin_smith.html They seem to always break prospects down closer to what I see than any other site I've found. When I watched him I seen all the tools and every thing you look for in a HB to be successful on the highest level. He played against some good teams and faired pretty well. N.C. State has a couple of picks off their D that are projected day 1 picks including the highest ranked safety and he light them up for 200+. Since the NFL is going to 2 back sets he may turn out to be the most successfull in this draft. Demario Pressley and Dejuan Morgan are the Packs players I reffered to.
 
Looks like a slightly bigger version of Booker. Parcells likes his bruising power running guys
He plays around 217 and could add a little more. As the link I provided says he seems to play smaller than he is listed but I see that as a good thing. He uses his agility, vision, acceleration, and speed to avoid taking poundings but also hits the T holes with authrity and seemingly always falls foward. I think it says alot about him that he wasa teams workhorse and avoided a beating while coming up 27 yards shy of Barry Sanders all time record and often being ask often to carry the ball 30+ times a game. He does what Ronnie don't know how to do and protects himself without dropping off production.
