Prospect to watch

Brashard Smith, Running Back, SMU Mustangs

The Vikings are meeting with SMU hotshot running back Brashard Smith in the lead-up to this year's draft. Kevin O'Connell will evaluate the dual-role back and the team will examine whether his skill set fits the Vikings' system.

Smith is an explosive runner with impressive acceleration and top-end speed. These traits made him a nightmare for opposing defenses at the collegiate level.

Furthermore, he has great hands thanks to his background as a receiver. He is a top-notch receiving threat straight out of the backfield. Plus, his versatility will give the Vikings the option of lining him up in an array of positions.

Smith's biggest flaw is his lack of elite NFL size for the running back position. Plus, his ball security could use some fine-tuning at the highest level.

Smith is seen as a potential Day 2 pick in this year's draft. Hence, the Vikings could fill up a more pressing need in the first round before choosing him later in the draft.
