Sleepers in 2014 NFL Draft
-
With the Browns more than likely putting the franchise tag on TJ Ward. I do like the value of Christian Bryant FS Thee Ohio State. Might be able sign him as UFA.

Is this your own speculation?
I'm all for keeping him anyway we can.
Pettine says we are going to be "the toughest team on the field every wee" ... We'll then he needs to tell the Brass that TJ stays, because there aren't too many tougher at his position.

Oh, I wasn't even trying to do that. Tell you the truth, I didn't even notice.
Well in that case I withdraw my job offer...
I spotted Abberderis early in the OSU game and pretty much fell in love with him. Then he had a rough patch mid-season and I wondered about him, but he finished strong.
I know you think it's overkill, but I keep seeing a Gordon-Watkins-Abbederis WR Corps in my mind's eye... and I like it!
Sleeper definition should also include some weighting of positional value. For example you wouldn't call a kicker a sleeper just because he was seleced in round 7.
I really did not consider specialty positions (K, P) at all... so I guess that's a form of weighting.
Sleeper? Projected outside of top 3 or 4 at their position, and outside of the 1st round (by most), but have the makings of a pro bowler... I've watched a lot of college football this year, so here goes nothing...
Good working definition and good list...
To my eye Skov seems to be a step slower than Borland and is a bit lighter to boot. It will be interesting to see them both at the combine.

good topic tour.
Thank you...

Tad undersized for my taste, but fast. If he fully recovers from his broken ankle, he definitely has sleeper potential.

Jared Abberderis is a gem in the rough. Anyone who has watched him play can see the value he wuold bring to the team. He does not show boat and will catch everything that comes his way, the kid is a leader, its also very rare to see a polished route runner coming out of college. He would be great as a #2, but would dominate in the Slot. Very good sleeper pick.
-
What an absolute perfect situation that would be. Gordon and Watkins on the outside with Abberderis in the slot. Jordan Cameron at TE. Carlos Hyde and Dion Lewis in the back field. U would find out if Hoyer could ever be the guy. If not then Mariota or Winston would be an excellent choice in 2015.

I'd be very cool with that. Take a guy like Carr/Murray/Garrapolo later. Sure up the interior line.
We still really need that #2 CB and some better LBs though.

Homer pick, sort of
Jeremy Gallon, as a slot WR in a later round. Had the 2nd most receiving yards in a game in FBS history this year plus the season record for Michigan. He also can return kicks and punts. He is more quick than fast though, so his 40 time will be interesting.

OK, you want Homer picks at WR....Corey "Philly" Brown

Or how about this: the Browns blew it on one Will Adams once upon a time, how about another: Will Adams WR, Western KY.
Considered a top 70 prospect:

gallon might not be a immediate impact but I can see him having a very good career for a team that won't give up on him.Homer pick, sort of

Michael Lombardi .....
I hope he sleeps through all 3 days .....
-
It is a homer pick because I would love him on the Browns.
At the same time though I think he has real potential in the slot, and I know OSU fans that agree with me and think he could be a sleeper.
I think taking him late is less of a homer reach then taking Hyde in the 2nd

now that I disagree with. If TBITCH was a #3 overall then Hyde is easily a 2nd rounder. Homer pick?? Yea probably but he is exactly what the Browns need to balance Dion Lewis.

Jared Abbrederis.
Jared Abbrederis.
I'm pretty big on Abbrederis as well as LaDamian Washington out of Mizzou. Washington is an even bigger sleeper currently projected as a sixth round pick for being raw, but he has the size and speed to be great.

Sleeper? Projected outside of top 3 or 4 at their position, and outside of the 1st round (by most), but have the makings of a pro bowler... I've watched a lot of college football this year, so here goes nothing...
I like Abbrederis too, but I also like...
Odell Beckham Jr. - WR - LSU - great hands, and playmaking ability... undervalued in my opinion
Stanley Jean-Baptiste - CB - Nebraska - great size, fits the mold of the bigger corner... had a good Senior Bowl
Marion Grice - RB - AZ St - watched him play twice this year, and I was impressed. Great receiver too
Spencer Long - G - Nebraska - All-Big Ten in 2011, missed almost all of 2013 with a torn ACL.. could be a steal
Shayne Skov - ILB - Stanford - great physical specimin. He fits the bill for any aggressive D with his speed...

nice list, I'm all in on Stanley Jean-Baptiste, bring him to Cleveland.

To my eye Skov seems to be a step slower than Borland and is a bit lighter to boot. It will be interesting to see them both at the combine.

I don't mind that reasoning. I just think that adding a handful of receivers is useless if there's no one to get them the ball.

Except Trent wasn't deserving of #3. No HB is in this class. They are way less important now when most teams have a committee. Unless you can find another AP

I don't care if you can find another AP, it's still not worth it.
The game has changed for the time being. No runningback is worth that.

Sure they will. I'm as big an OSU homer as anyone, but they'd be remiss if they didn't take a long look at Tre Mason.
