Last year Hickey showed that he was not afraid to draft players from smaller, lesser-known programs. He ended up using 5 of his 8 2014 draft picks on players from small schools and even signed more of these types of players as undrafted free-agents. This year at the combine there was only one player among more than 300 invitees that was from a Division III program. That player was 6’4” 307-pound offensive lineman Ali Marpet from Hobart College.

Marpet was also the only Division III player to be invited to the Senior Bowl, where he held his own and impressed scouts. In Indianapolis at the Combine, he bench pressed 225 pounds 30 times, which tied him for fifth-best among 40 offensive lineman. Then in the 40-yard dash, he posted a time of 4.98 seconds with a 10 yard split of 1.74 seconds, which were both the fastest times of all the offensive lineman present. These types of impressive performances are clearly helping Marpet to catch the eyes of NFL scouts.

Phins news fans has been also excited by Marpet and with Hickey’s recent history of selecting small school players, they may actually get their wish in drafting him. His recent off-season performance has been so good that the best pay per head reviews are betting that he will be selected in the middle rounds.

In 2014 he was a first-team All-American and three-time first-team All-Liberty League selection and also shared the 2014 Liberty League Offensive Player of the Year award, which was the first time an offensive lineman received that honor. He was also a very good basketball player, which highlights his genuine athletic ability, which is impressive to find with 300 plus pound young men.

It may take him a year or so to get acclimated to the NFL’s speed and competition, but Marpet has shown during this pre-draft process that he is not one to shy away from a challenge. Marpet would be an intriguing prospect to draft on the last day and has a lot of upsides.

When would be the right time to draft Marpet if Miami decided to take a chance on him?
