Pretty simple idea. I'll give you two of mine
Louis Nzegwu, DE/OLB, Wisconsin
6'4, 252. 4.60 40, 41.5" vertical, 10'8" broad, 6.84 3 cone. Not real productive (11 sacks in 3 years), but looks reasonably fluid on tape, definitely has the potential to be a huge steal towards the end of the draft or in UDFA.
David Snow, C, Texas
4 year starter, does everything well (nothing great), but has the size and intangibles to succeed as a starting center at the next level. Very Koppen-esque as a leader on the Texas O-Line. _________________

Cordarro Law DE/OLB, Southern Miss
He's 6'2, 260, which is a little on the shorter side for a 3/4 OLB, when talking about the Patriots scheme. He played DE for Southern Miss, but will have to move to OLB in the NFL. He is pretty raw, but he is an excellent pass rusher and could be a situational guy that turns into a full time starter with coaching and a few years of experience. He ran a 4.74 40, and threw up 23 reps on the bench. He could be a good steal for a team looking for a hard working, DE/OLB passrusher in the later rounds. He is pretty weak against the run, and I am not sure what he is consistently like in coverage, but I see him, at the very least, being a great special teamer to start his career. |

Supposedly has had some injuries in his career but its crazy just 5 more sacks for him and he would be a mid rounder.

Miles Burris from San Diego State - he's a little short too at 6'2 buttttt

Bruce Irvin OLB/DE 6'3" 245lbs
Pass rush specialist, he hasn't been asked to do anything else in WVU's 3-3-5 defense, if he's there at the end of the third, or even better in the 4th or 5th he could be worth the risk.
Brian Bostick WR/H-Back 6'3" 245lbs
Had a better JR year than SR year, would likely have to move to H-back in the NFL, could be Hernandez back-up. Could be worth a flyer in the 6th or 7th (He could be taken earlier by other teams as most draft profiles have Aaron as his NFL comparison)

Bruce Irvin isn't a sleeper, there's a good chance he goes in round two or early round 3. |

| I don't think Bruce Irvin qualifies as a sleeper, but his teammate Julian Miller does. As for my list, I don't want to give them all away, but Ryan Davis out of Bethune-Cookman, Michael Smith from Utah State, James Carmon out of Mississippi State, Evan Rodriguez out of Temple and Adrien Cole out of Louisiana Tech are guys I like as sleepers. |

Rodriguez was going to be my third, I was too lazy to write a few sentences He's going to be such a weapon for whoever drafts him, I'm shocked he's still projected as a Day 3 pick. _________________

| Another super-sleeper just because of his name: Tim Fugger, out of Vanderbilt. Pronounced Few-ger, unfortunately. |

LOL
Not as much as some nut job at the other site who is disturbingly obsessed with Derek Wolfe and Jake Baquet (sp?). |

Sleeper 1.
DaJohn Harris, DT Southern California-
DaJohn Harris was a heavily recruited 5 star DT. At 6'3'' 306 pounds the guy is a beast. He had to sit out the NFL Combine because of a PFO also known as a Patent Foramen Ovale, but doctors have told him a teams that his is going to be ok. This guy is projected to be a 4th rounder but could easily slip to the 5th, baring any set backs. Check out the Video:http://youtu.be/2TwBJNWbqe8
Sleeper 2.
Junior Hemingway, WR Michigan-
Junior Hemingway, who at 6'1'' 225 pounds, was a victim to a Rich Rodriguez spread offense team whos QB did more Scrambling then Throwing. This resulted in less passes thrown to WR, but when thrown to Hemingway almost always came down with it. Once Brady Hoke took over the Offense we still had a QB that struggled to throw but Hemingway still had a very productive year. Now I believe with Brady as his QB would could have a steal here. Hemingway could be had in round 7 to UDFA. Check out the Video in this you will see what I'm talking about with over thrown balls or bad throws:http://youtu.be/uZTM3yrj0dw |
