Better2bgreenthanblue Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 So with all the focus on rd #1-#3 I thought I would post some of my late round sleeper picks in our areas of need, I like Janis the best. Jeff Janis WR Saginaw Valley AC Leonard TE Tennessee Walter Aikens CB Liberty College Who are your top 3-5 sleeper picks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I hate to kill your enthusiasm with Janis, but despite his great speed and size, he has very small hands which makes him a body catcher. Body catchers reduce their catch radius and limit their ability to run after the catch. I would take a pass on Janis. I like Aikens as a size - speed prospect in the secondary, but he will need time to develop. AC Leonard will probably be on someone's practice squad this year.

SickJetFan Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 CB DONTAE JOHNSON got beat bad by good competition - good size\speed tho NORTH CAROLINA STATE CB NEVIN LAWSON got beat bad by Lee but like the way he plays the line of scrimmage and see him as viable nickel also real good speed UTAH STATE OLB DENICOS ALLEN Special teams\Convert to Safety project - maybe useful in nickel\dime\4-6 packages MICHIGAN STATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 James Hurst OL Brynn Renner QB I do like both of them - though Renner obviously is a mega long shot to make it as a non-elite QB prospect. Others: James Gayle DE/OLB VT Ka'Deem Carey RB AZ - He killed any shot at going on the first two days with his combine, but thinking he might be an Arian Foster. Xavier Grimble TE USC Andre Hal CB Vanderbilt - In a Dmitri Patterson kind of way. Kirby Van Der Kamp P Iowa St - I think he's a draftable punter. Larry Webster DE/OLB Penn St Jackson Jeffcoat DE/OLB Texas Jeff Matthews QB Cornell Probably at least a couple OL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Brandon Thomas, a Clemson OT, blew out his knee training. I now think he can be a steal later in the draft, though I would (obviously) prefer it to be very late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Lonelyhearts Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Can he even be considered a sleeper at this point? I haven't actually seen Latimer in the first anywhere, so at least to that extent. The tape guys and the analytics guys like him but none of the hacks seem to be interested yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tape guys and the analytics guys like him but none of the hacks seem to be interested yet. I think it's been leaking out recently that teams have their sights set. I've definitely been seeing his name pop up a bunch the past week or so. Kelly's in love with him obv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Mettlenberger will be one of the first two QB's taken. Yeah, my best guess is he kills it at his pro day and goes late 1st/early 2nd round. He's a goon to me but I get the whole size/arm ratio thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 A sleeper from a big school, Damien Williams RB Oklahoma. A back with decent size and very good speed. He is very adept at catching balls out of the backfield and has been productive when he has played. Was released from the program for disciplinary issues which is why he will probably be selected after the 5th round, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lonelyhearts Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Love me some DeAnthony Thomas. I like Thomas too. I'm not sure if he's really what we're looking for. The backs we scouted last year were the standard size-speed guys. Davis, Bell, Christine Michael. Probably good value too since his agility tests were crap. Also good from a roster management standpoint since if we draft a receiver in the first round like it sure looks like we're going to then we're going to be tight on space there and he basically gives us an extra.

Miss Lonelyhearts Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Wouldn't he fit what they were looking to do with Austin? Well, realistically he can do some of it. He has the skill set to be a receiving back but really only played an abbreviated version of the role at Oregon. In the slot he's mostly just running verticals.

Matt39 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Bridgewater probably goes 1. Just don't see how he's that much stronger of a prospect than Geno. Gone are the days of the Gabbert's and Ponder's going that early. But then again, I'm probably wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douchiness aside, he was the one back that I really wanted the Jets to go after last year. Would not be surprised to see him become a big-time player once Marshawn's contract runs up.
