Mine is C.J. Ah You. He ran a 4.7 at the combine and had 26 reps on the bench. He also tied three people for the second fastest 3 cone time. Not bad for a 6'4" 270 pound guy with little hype.
Yeah, he did well at the combine.
Mine was Quincy Black and then he blew up at the combine so its not so much a sleeper pick anymore.

Marcus Mason is mine. Not even invited to the combine, but I think he could be a great fit in this system.

Drek and Rohirrim got my psyched about Louis Leonard - DT Fresno State. Sounds like a 5th rounder. If we don't get Mebane in the 2nd, he'd be a good pick.

Marcus Thomas in the 2nd or the top of the 3rd would be a steal!!! Minus character concerns, this guy is a top 15 talent on the field. He would give us great push from the DT spot and make QB's uncomfortable in the pocket. I would gladly use a 2nd to make damn sure we get him.

if you can just use his initials and everyone knows exactly who're you talking about, he isnt a "sleeper"
That's his name, CJ Ah You http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/profile.php?pyid=56339

Ramonce Taylor, RB, Texas
Marcus Hamilton, CB, Virginia
Alan Ball, CB, Illinois
Larry Birdine, DE, Oklahoma
Laurent Robinson, WR, Illinois State
Those are some true sleepers!

Not sure if you would define him as a sleeper, but I like Michael Coe the CB from alabama state. has all of the tools and is football smart. Depending upon who drafts him, I wouldn't be shocked to see him starting in September.

I don't think anyone really wants to reveal their true sleepers with the mock draft going on. Here are two of mine that I already drafted: Brandon Myles, WR, WVU and Reggie Lewis, CB, FLA. Myles was not showcased much because of the run heavy offense at WVU but has a great frame(6'3, 185 with a 4.45) and very good hands. Lewis doesn't have top speed and only played one year at UF, he transferred from Utah after graduating in I think three years(the new NCAA rule). He showed a lot of coverage skills that aren't apparent when looking at his numbers. He's very good at bumping and has good closing speed, a playmaker.
We should revisit this thread after the mock draft or just look at the mock draft for some sleepers.

I'm pretty sure you mean Ryan Smith. Smith is the player who transfered from Utah to Florida.

Yeah Ryan Smith, lol I draft a player and forget his name. I always got him and Reggie Lewis confused this last year. He's not a bad prospect either, just a little bigger and slower, probably an UDFA.

As a Florida fan Lewis is the type that either had a very bad game or made a play to safe the game or turn it around... Probably PS material to see if he can develop it all into one piece.

I also like Trumaine McBride, CB, Miss as a sleeper. :)

I wouldn't mind taking a shot at Andy Alleman, G from Akron. He's 6-4, 305 and ran a 5.07 40 in Indy, which was the fastest time of any of the guards. He played DE until 2004 and could develop into a nice player. Supposedly has some room to grow and plays with an attitude. Here's the NFLDC profile on him:

Yeah, he's flying very low under the radar and he's going to be a major stud. Just a good football player. His his history playing both ways speaks to his athleticism and he contributes on special teams. Good player.

If the Broncos could pick up an extra mid-round pick and grab Alleman, he and Kuper could make a very nice tandem for a long time.

They're both right guards, though I'm sure one of them could learn the other side without too much trouble. We just signed a guard, though. We really need help at tackle.
Antwan Barnes, OLB/DE, Florida Int'l
Played in ever game his four years of college, 6'1", 240, ran a 40 yard dash in the low to mid 4.4 range, 31 bench reps, all around huge combine and had an impressive pro day showing off his linebacker skills.
Worst case he could be a special teams stud, but I think he could become a big impact OLB starter as well.
Legedu Naanee, WR, Boise St.
6'2", 225 pound WR who ran a 4.41 at the combine, played high school QB and was a backup QB when he first came to college. Smart, team leader, very athletic. Could be a hell of a slot WR with posession skills.
I'll add more after the draft, don't want to spoil anyone's sleepers.
Craig Davis, LSU ,WR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA_8YV6Nnn8
