<![CDATA[2012 Draft Hidden Gems]]>So, who are your favorite guys that may not be on the radar that if we picked up a round or two before they are projected to go you would still be like Hell Yeh we did our homework.

WR - Marvin Mcnutt I'm hoping we get him with our 2nd round pick and honestly even if we got him with our 4th overall I wouldn't mind this kid has ALL the variables to be a superstar

OLB - Miles Burris just something about this kid...bad action wouldn't mind 4th or later

I can't believe ya'll haven't mentioned Chase Minnifield...

He has actually be sliding down draft boards since he measured short at the combine and only did the bench press where he only go 7 reps. I have seen him falling all the way to the 4th with the Browns still picking him up.

Chris Givens - WR - Wake Forest - blazing speed and 1330 yds & 9 TDs last season as a junior. (3rd or 4th round)

Don Barclay - OT - West Virginia - 3 yr starter at LT. (Solid 5th rounder)

Ronald Leary - OT - Memphis - 4 yr starter, 3 at LT (solid 4th rounder)

Trevin Wade - CB - Arizona - played tough all season. Strong, good vertical. 4.5 40 will keep him at day 3, but may become a good nickel corner

Jamie Blatnick - DE - Oklahoma State - 6'3" 265, 4.8 40, 13.5 TFL and 8 sacks in 2011. (4th or 5th rounder)

Julian Miller - DE - West Virginia - 11 TFL and 6 sacks in 2011. Good mix of size and speed, stats are skewed b/c he played all different line positions throughout the season. (4th rounder)

Kirk Cousins - QB - Michigan State - IMHO the 3rd best QB in this draft... but that's just my opinion. Love to have him in the 2nd.

All these guys could be starters right away for most teams

David LB from Nebraska- guy has a nose for the ball. Could lead the NFL in tackles in a few years.

Casey Heyward- Didnt run a super 40 but the kid is a pure ball hawk.

Brandon Taylor- Centerfielder type FS.

Wintson Guy Jr.- Big safety thats always around the ball. Better suited for SS but if he makes it to the 5th round we should give him a look.

Derek Wolfe- My favorite DT in this draft. He has an amazing motor, plays with a good pad level, and is a very good athelte.
