Sssshhhh. Sleepers (many from the SR Bowl)

I think the secret to Rhule's success is going to be grabbing a player or two at end of the draft and undrafted free agency who can make this roster.  We are not used to that a lot, but last year we had several players contribute from this pool of talent.  These folks put together a nice list and they provide rationale for each player's inclusion.

Enjoy.  (Proehl caught my eye, but several others did as well. I think Proehl is the ideal slot WR, maybe the second slot---because he has good, strong hands and runs excellent routes.  Samuel was more athletic, but we really need that sure-handed route runner who can find the cracks in the defense and get you first downs.  Enough of Proehl-- Loved some of the OL, LBs and DBs too)

I was hoping Jabril Cox would slip to the 3rd round, but I don't see him there anymore for us. 

I could see as you pointed out, some WR/TE/OL from late in the draft that Rhule & Co saw up close being a gem for us. 

The corner, edge and OL play from the Senior Bowl was really good.  Don't be surprised if we draft 2-3 guys that participated in the Senior Bowl.

David Moore was my pick for sleeper. I like what I’ve seen about Britt. That Stevenson guy is basically Hollywood Brown but whereas he is Baltimore’s #1 wr, Stevenson would be our 3.

these corners are all intriguing too. 

Depending how the draft falls, I'm hoping to target a CB in round 3.  The rookie and Pride Jr. on the outside and move Jackson to the slot.  To be honest, I'm even considering double dipping with a late pick.  Our corner situation was atrocious last season.

Yea, of those corners, Taylor and Bynum look likes the ones that I’d be interested in. Of course with all of these guys, it’s about value - How late can we get them?

Day 3 prospects without a doubt.  As late as the 6th, especially Taylor. Bynum will go in the 4th or 5th.  If I take either, it's as the second corner as we need an immediate starter out of this class, so I'm taking one in the 3rd round, in the 2nd if my preferred LTs are off the board (not going to reach).

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
