This one was rumored about for quite some time.  Now it is official.  Former Florida Gators and current New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes has left Terry Watson of Watson Sports Agency and signed with Drew Rosenhaus of Rosenhaus Sports Representation.

On June 10, 2011, when I reported that Greg Little switched from Octagon to Rosenhaus, I suggested that nobody should be surprised if we soon find out that Spikes switches to Rosenhaus.  Apparently Spikes had been making wild monetary demands to his former agent, Watson.

It has been a rough offseason for Watson, who also lost former client Allen Bailey to Rosenhaus just one month ago.  Bailey was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs with the #86 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

The off-season de el Rosenhaus continues.  Drew Rosenhaus has picked up yet another player who was taken in the 2011 NFL Draft.  Former University of North Carolina wide-receiver Greg Little has officially made the switch from Octagon to Rosenhaus Sports Representation.  Little was selected in the 2nd round (#59 overall) by the Cleveland Browns.  If my count is correct, based on the Little signing, Rosenhaus now represents 17 players selected in the 2011 NFL Draft.

As Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com notes, Little is joining a deep receiving corp at Rosenhaus Sports Representation.  Rosenhaus represents Plaxico Burress, DeSean Jackson, Chad Ochocinco, Santana Moss, Sidney Rice, Bernard Berrian, and Terrell Owens.

But how exactly is Rosenhaus signing all of these players during this NFL Lockout offseason?  One agent texted me yesterday providing his explanation.  This agent claims that Rosenhaus is providing “Lockout Loans” for veterans at $150,000 a pop.  The agent did not provide any information about loans offered to rookies selected in the 2011 Draft, but it is assumed that he is offering them some sort of lockout loan, even if it is for much less than what he is providing his veteran clients.

Last, do not be surprised if we have an On To The Next One post soon concerning Brandon Spikes switching to Rosenhaus.  I recently heard about his wild demands to former agent Terry Watson.

The 2010 NFL Draft Pick/Agent Selection Master List from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

This past Saturday, the #1 ranked Florida Gators concluded their regular season play, and as they approach the SEC Championship and possibly the National Championship, it’s only natural that questions arise regarding the future of several players who have played integral roles in the continued success of the team.

The one player whose future is most up in the air is the one and only Tim Tebow. What position will he play in the NFL? Is he a quarterback? Is he a tight end? Is he a fullback? The upside to Tebow is that he can be all of these things. Today’s NFL is becoming a league of gimmick offenses becoming full time offenses, and Tim Tebow’s versatility can allow a team to utilize him in every way possible. Most likely, Tim Tebow will be drafted as a quarterback and people will continue to question his ability to play the position in the NFL. Having watched the Gators for the past two years, I can say that the uncertainty surrounding his ability is warranted, but that is not to say that he cannot play the position. Tebow has time and time again made precise throws, run for important first downs, and simply win games. His ability to win games is something no person can argue against. Tebow’s passion, heart, and ability combined, have allowed him to win a Heisman trophy and win the SEC and National Championships in 2 of 3 years, and possibly in 3 of 4 years. I see Tebow going in the late 1^st round to mid 2^nd round. Many people may not agree with this, but teams will be more than willing to take a chance on a player who is extremely versatile ability and has an uncanny ability to win games.

Aaron Hernandez is another player whose future is up in the air. Hernandez, a junior, is not a guarantee to leave for the NFL draft, but based on his actions during the UF vs. FSU game, every indication points towards him entering the draft. Aaron Hernandez possesses great skills, all which will allow Hernandez to be a great tight end in the NFL. Most likely, Hernandez will not be the first tight end taken, as that honor will probably go to Oklahoma’s Jermain Gresham, but I see Hernandez being a late 2^nd to 3^rd round pick. Hernandez has shown his ability to run routes, block defenders, and, as seen in the FSU game, juke and run his way to the end-zone. Hernandez is the Gators second leading receiver this season with 51 receptions for 654 yards and 4 touchdowns. Hernandez’s speed, hands, and intensity have allowed him to be successful in an offense that has struggled in the passing game, but Hernandez looks to have a bright future.

Brandon James may have the most questionable future of the high profile Florida Gator seniors. James, listed at 5’ 7” and 185 lbs, has an incredible ability to make a game breaking play at any moment. James is most comparable to Darren Sproles when attempting to compare him to somebody in the NFL. Darren Sproles, another small running back in the NFL, has had a successful career up to this point, but there is one major difference when comparing the two in terms of where they will be drafted. Darren Sproles (4^th round, 29^th pick) was a full time running back in college at Kansas State, and a successful one at that, whereas James is predominantly a kick/punt returner and a part time running back and wide receiver. Obviously, James does not have the ideal size for an NFL running back, but he has great speed, quickness, and will take a hit that most players would never want to go near. James is fearless on the field, and with his combination of skills, can be a successful player in the NFL. Most likely, James will be a 6^th or 7^th round pick, but I don’t see any team regretting taking a chance on the undersized running back.

Carlos Dunlap, Junior, seems to have a very bright future ahead of him. The 6’ 6”, 290 lbs defensive end has had a very successful three years in The Swamp. In his first two years at UF, Dunlap recorded 46 tackles (15.5 for loss), 10.5 sacks, 4 interceptions, and 4 blocked kicks/punts. Teams, after seeing such production, decided to constantly double team the standout defensive end, but still, have not had much luck stopping his production. In the 2009 season, Dunlap has 32 tackles and 7 sacks. There is not much anybody can say that is negative about Carlos Dunlap. He has great size, strength, quickness, and speed, and obviously has a relentless attitude on the field, shown by his 7 sacks despite his constant double teams. Dunlap looks to be a top 15 pick in the coming NFL draft, and looks to have a great career ahead of him.

Simply put, Brandon Spikes, Senior, is a monster. The 6’ 3”, 260 lbs linebacker is a brick, and hits like a brick too. He is a ball hawk, and seems to be involved in every single defensive play possible. Throughout his career, Spikes has accumulated 276 tackles, 6 interceptions, and 6 sacks. Spikes always seems to produce when on the field, and no team can argue against that. His ability to be involved in every play, be a vocal leader, lead by example, and lay the wood, will make him a solid NFL linebacker. Not to mention, his size is great for an NFL linebacker. Spikes has had some mishaps this season, injuries, and his questionable act in the FL/GA game in Jacksonville, but Spikes has handled them all with class, and although it may hurt his draft status a bit, it wont affect it enough to hinder his chance of becoming an NFL player. Spikes seems to be a late 1^st to 2^nd round pick. Spikes may have been able to be drafted higher had the Gators not adopted a rotating linebacker system. This system has taken some of Spikes’ playing time from him, which would have allowed him to further showcase his NFL abilities.

Joe Haden, Junior, is probably the top cornerback in a weak cornerback class. Haden has a great ability to cover man-on-man, recover in the infrequent times in which he is beat on a route, and most importantly, tackle in the open field. For a cornerback, being able to tackle in the open field is a skill that will set you apart from the pack, and Haden is extremely skilled at this. He is a big cornerback, listed at 5’11” and 190 lbs. In his three years as a UF cornerback, he has accumulated 194 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and 8 interceptions. The Gators started Haden as a true freshman and have never looked back. He has continued to perform, and has no fear when taking on the top receivers in the country. Haden has also shown great durability, missing only two games in his three full years of starting. Joe Haden looks to be a top 20 pick in the coming NFL draft mainly because of his size, coverage skills, and great ability to tackle in the open field.

Jermaine Cunningham, Senior, is another player whose future is up in the air. As an undersized, yet productive, defensive end, he looks to be selected as an outside linebacker that will fit great into a 3-4 defensive system. Cunningham, listed at 6’ 3”, is said to run a 4.6 sec. forty, which in turn, will allow him to be effective as an outside linebacker. Cunningham has, multiple times, come up with big tackles in the backfield and numerous sacks that have changed the flow of a game. Cunningham has put up respectable numbers in his first three years as a Gator, recording 118 tackles (22 for loss), 12.5 sacks, 1 interception, and 3 forced fumbles. Some project Cunningham as a 1^st round pick, but I see him more as a 2^nd to 3^rd round pick. Cunningham has a lot of upside and can turn out to be a great player in the NFL. It would be understandable for Cunningham to be chosen in the late 1^st round, if a team were wiling to take a chance, but for the most part, he looks to be chosen somewhere in the second half of the 2^nd round.

This year’s Florida Gators will put several players in the NFL draft, most of which will have solid careers in the NFL. Where these players will be chosen in the draft, nobody will know until actual draft day, but there is always room in this world for predictions.

The SportsAgentBlog.com 2010 NFL Mock Draft from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

1.      St. Louis – QB Sam Bradford ~ Oklahoma = The Rams could go ahead and get their quarterback of the future with the first overall pick. Bradford might have been the top pick had he come out in 2009, so it’s pretty much safe to say he’s the frontrunner for #1 overall in 2010.

2.      Cincinnati – DE Carlos Dunlap ~ Florida = At 6’6″ 290, Dunlap reminds many of Mario Williams coming out of college. He is just scratching the surface of his potential and in the SEC last year as a sophomore he posted 9.5 sacks & 13.5 TFL.

3.      Detroit – OT Russell Okung ~ Oklahoma State = Detroit passed up on a left tackle in this year’s draft and will have to address this position if they could get Okung here who is a potential franchise tackle in the making.

4.      Cleveland – S Eric Berry ~ Tennessee = Best player on the board who could come in and start right away for Cleveland. Berry is a 1^st team All-American, SEC defensive player of the year, and lead the nation in interceptions, all as a true sophomore. He also runs the 40 yard dash in 4.30 seconds and could easily play corner.

5.      Oakland – S Taylor Mays ~ USC = Al Davis won’t be able to pass up on this 6’3″ 230 freakish athlete who was timed at 4.32 at USC, did 26 reps of 225 and posted a 41 inch vertical. Imagine what he’ll do at next year’s combine.

6.      Kansas City – WR Arrelious Benn ~ Illinois = I thought Kansas City should’ve taken WR Michael Crabtree to give Head Coach Todd Haley dual threats at receiver, so Benn is the next best thing and will enable the team to have a guy who is a threat to score every time he touches the ball.

7.      Denver – DT Gerald McCoy ~ Oklahoma = Denver will need a guy who can control the middle or play end. McCoy could have been a top 20 pick in this year’s draft and will surely be a top 10 pick next year barring an injury.

8.      Tampa Bay – DE Everson Griffin ~ USC = In high school at 6’4″ 270, this guy ran a 4.46 40 yard dash which is just scary. As a freshman he became the first defensive lineman to start at USC in 21 years. He will be a junior next year.

9.      Jacksonville – CB Joe Haden ~ Florida = Haden has been quoted as “the most conditioned player on the entire Gator team” and can almost bench 400 pounds at only 190 lbs. He also has a 38+ inch vertical and he’s 5’11″.

10.   San Francisco – OLB Sergio Kindle ~ Texas = Kindle is one of the most talented linebackers to ever attend Texas and has been compared to LB Derrick Johnson. He may or may not slip because of a DUI that he got in 2007.

11.  Seattle – OT Bryan Baluga ~ Iowa = Baluga is another near prototype lineman to come out of Iowa. He is very athletic having played guard in his career as well as tackle. Seattle could get their eventual replacement for LT Walter Jones at pick 11 which would be impossible to pass up on.

12.  Green Bay – CB Trevard Lindley ~ Kentucky = Green Bay will have starting corners who are both well into their 30′s after this season, and Lindley could come in and compete for CB’s Will Blackmon & Tramon Williams for a starting role.

13.  Washington – DT Ndamukong Suh ~ Nebraska = An absolute monster in the middle, Suh last season became the first defensive lineman to lead the Cornhuskers in tackles since 1973. At 6’4″ 300 he has an amazing combination of strength and speed.

14.  Arizona – WR Dez Bryant ~ Oklahoma State = Assuming the Cardinals are eventually going to get rid of WR Anquan Boldin and not grant him a rich contract, Bryant could come in and give them great playmaking ability. At 6’2″ 210 he has great size, and had 87 catches 1,480 yards, and 19 touchdowns last year as a sophomore.

15.  Buffalo – TE Jermaine Gresham ~ Oklahoma = Gresham could’ve been a top 15 pick this year and I was very surprised he returned. At 6’6″ 261 he has incredible size, to go along with very good speed and a deep basketball background.

16.  New York Jets – DT/NT Terrence Cody ~ Alabama = Current NT Kris Jenkins will be 31 after next season and has already had a list of injury problems. Cody is 6’5″ 365 lbs. and can dunk a basketball at his current weight. Not only that, he moves incredibly well and can absolutely manhandle people. A player who requires a double team every time.

17.  Houston – OLB/DE Greg Hardy ~ Ole Miss = Houston may have another bigger need elsewhere, but Hardy is one of my top prospects heading into next season, he is an absolute terror off the edge, and is so athletic Ole Miss lines him up at wide receiver in the red zone.

18.  San Diego – OT Ciron Black ~ LSU = Another potential franchise tackle in the NFL, Black almost declared for the draft last year but decided to stay for his senior season. At 6’5″ 320, Black has started 40 consecutive games for LSU and is a two time 2^nd team All-SEC selection.

19.  Miami – ILB Brandon Spikes ~ Florida = Spikes could come in and team with ILB Channing Crowder to give them a scary combination in the middle. Spikes is a huge hitter who flat out makes plays for a defense.

20.  Seattle (from Denver) – RB Jahvid Best ~ California = Best is one of the most electrifying players in the nation, similar to RB Noel Devine from West Virginia. He will find himself drafted in the 1^st or 2^nd round somewhere next year if he declares.

21.  Atlanta – OT Trent Williams ~ Oklahoma = Trent Williams is an extremely athletic, big (6’5″300) tackle who could play right or left for Atlanta.

22.  Baltimore – OLB George Selvie ~ USF = Baltimore could add another 3-4 outside backer to give some insurance behind LB Terrell Suggs or start opposite him. Selvie is one of the most productive & consistent players in the nation.

23.  Minnesota – QB Tim Tebow ~ Florida = The Vikings don’t have an answer at quarterback and would be lucky to get Tebow here. After having one of the greatest careers in college football history, Tebow will work on his mechanics and be a player any NFL general manager would want on their team.

24.  New York Giants – ILB Rolando McClain ~ Alabama = LB Antonio Pierce isn’t getting any younger and McClain is a monster hitter who is 6’4″ 255 and was a 1^st team All-SEC selection last year.

25.  Indianapolis – CB Javier Arenas ~ Alabama = At 5’9″ 200 lbs., Arenas is built like a small house and not only is a solid cover guy, is one of the best return men in the nation.

26.  San Francisco(from Carolina) – DT Marvin Austin ~ North Carolina = The 49ers aren’t strong at defensive tackle and Austin is another very athletic, talented defensive lineman to come out of UNC.

27.  New Orleans – TE Rob Gronkowski ~ Arizona = I won’t be surprised if TE Jeremy Shockey wears out his welcome in New Orleans after another injury filled year. Gronkowski is one of the most talented tight ends in the entire country and is 6’6″ 265.

28.  Dallas – WR Brandon LaFell ~ LSU = Getting rid of T.O. will prove to be a smart move, but his on the field production won’t be replaced by WR Patrick Crayton or WR Miles Austin. LaFell is a guy who could really come into his own this year and get drafted much higher.

29.  Tennessee – RB Jonathan Dwyer ~ Georgia Tech = Tennessee could try and trade RB LenDale White as they were rumored to have been trying to do on draft day. The 6’0″ 235 lb ACC player of the year would be a great replacement.

30.  Pittsburgh – S Major Wright ~ Florida = Wright could be the heir apparent to S Ryan Clark, teaming with all-pro S Troy Polamalu this would be a dynamic pair well into the future.

31.  New England – C Kristofer O’Dowd ~ USC = The first freshman to start at center in USC history. O’Dowd is an imposing, powerful center who could really excel in the NFL right away.

32.  Philadelphia – DE Greg Romeus ~ Pittsburgh = Philadelphia values the offensive and defensive line extremely high in the draft, so expect them to add depth here and take the best player.

Fringe 1^st rounder’s – QB Colt McCoy, RB Joe McKnight, RB C.J. Spillar, RB LaGarrette Blount, WR Damien Williams, TE Dennis Pita, OT Adam Ulatowski, OT Sam Young, CB Ras-I Dowling, DT Lawrence Marsh, OLB/DE Jerry Hughes, DE Eric Noorwood, OLB Sean Witherspoon, OLB Rennie Curran, S Earl Thomas
