When the 32 teams head into the draft room in six days, there will plenty of speculation, as teams try to draft the best player available. The toughest task of the draft, outside the trades, the money and the time limits, is trying to find gems in the later rounds.
The following is a list of sleepers who I think could have immediate success.
-> Ray Rice, RB from Rutgers --- This guy is very underrated. Had great career success at Rutgers, but is kind of undersized. Could be a huge factor as a third down/change of pace back at first, and could develop into a great starter down the road.
-> James Hardy, WR from Indiana --- Could go as high as the first round, but is ranked in the bottom half of the top ten wide receivers. This guy is huge (6'6) and his size will be a huge factor in an offense, especially in the red zone.
-> Dennis Dixon, QB from Oregon --- This guy would have been a Heisman canidate if he didn't have to get his ACL fixed in his senior year. he has rehabbed well, and it is said he is athletic, with a better arm than Vince Young. Sounds good to me.
-> Tavares Goodman, LB from Miami (Fla) --- Great speed and size. Comes from a system that shoots out good defensive players. Could have an immediate success in a 4-3 defence with good defensive tackles.
->Carl Nicks, OG from Nebraska --- Great size (6-5, 343) and has the skill set to excel in the NFL. Will be a steal in the second or third round.
-> Dejuan Tribble, CB from Boston College --- Stock has dropped with the rise of others. Was originally a top ten ranked corner, who could be a gem in the middle rounds.
-> Colton Brennan, QB from Hawaii --- Call me a fool, but I don't think you can deny those numbers in college. I think he will need some time to develop, but he could be pushed in as a backup right away.
There you go folks, SIX DAYS TO GO.
