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).

    • Article:  The Rams must love rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske, because they paid the Panthers a fortune to move up in the second round and draft him. To move up from No. 52 to No. 39 and draft Fiske, the Rams gave up the 155th overall pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ second-round pick in next year’s draft. That’s a rare price to pay, for a move up of just 13 spots in the second round. In fact, according to Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics, the Rams overpaid by the most any team has overpaid to move up on Day Two of the draft in at least the last six years. Ultimately, the Rams used two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick on Fiske. That’s a lot to spend. For the Panthers, it’s a great deal that nets them a second-round pick next year in addition to Jonathon Brooks, the running back the Panthers drafted after making another trade that packaged the two picks they got from the Rams. The Panthers didn’t have a 2025 second-round pick, having shipped it to Chicago in last year’s Bryce Young trade, but now they have a second-round pick after making a good trade on Friday. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-paid-a-big-price-in-trade-with-panthers-to-move-up-13-spots-for-braden-fiske
    • Yeah I don’t think I’d like this guy outside, he doesn’t fit that in the NFL.  I think he needs to stick to nickel and ST to help the defense, he’d probably contribute. I think he’d be a liability outside. I like him okay though, looking forward to seeing him.  Actually that is probably how I feel about all the picks, I like them okay and am looking forward to seeing them. I feel like they were taken for a good reason; though I may not see it yet. One shouldn’t expect to go straight down the line hit every one, butI think we’ll hit on a couple of guys in this group. 4 would be great.  
    • i know, but to a degree to can still apply, imo. yes, the guy is a unicorn. crazy circumstances and situations i think kept him away from opportunity to prove themselves for a longer period of time. and in that he and cam are similar. cam took a couple years before he was put in a situation to show what he could do given then opportunity. same wit XL. different circumstances, for sure, but really they were drafted based on one one year of production where they looked dominant. does that mean he's going to be the cam newton of WRS? probably not.  one of the arguments against cam was that he had only one year of "real" production at a high level and those arguments were furthered by the lack of people who had transitioned into a legit starter after so little starting experience.  they were/are both unicorns.
