Adopt a Sleeper

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be fun for everyone to adopt a sleeper (someone believed to go 6th or later including UDFA). You can only pick one that has not already been taken. Then give a short reason why you think they will succeed. Hopefully the Draft section will survive and not delete this so we can bump it next year or after the season.

Mine is AJ Jackson - WR California (PA)

Big (6'5" 250lbs) , strong, physical, has a great set of hands, and is a devastating run blocker. Would fit perfectly in a power run scheme such as ours or the Steelers. Would make an excellent redzone threat. Could also add some bulk and move over to TE were he could become the next Gates (has that type of athleticism).

I know several guys in here like him but I want Kyle Williams out of Arizona st. He is a Steve smith type receiver who is tough, catches the ball extremely well, runs good routes, and has exceptional quickness. Oh and he runs a sub 4.40 forty!!!! He could help out on special teams as a returner until he learns the offense...remind you of anyone?

Anyways, he may never be anything more than a backup but I think that he has the tools to excell as a slot receiver and a playmaker.

I got two.

Oderick Turner WR 6'3" 205 4.48-40 yard Pitt

Why?: Great blocking WR that didn't get many passes because Stull had tunnel vision. I think he would be great on the end for Williams and Stewart in the run game. He is similar to Muhsin Muhammad as is.

Travis Timmons DT 6'3" 300 5.1-40 yard UCF

Why?: He seems to be a solid late rounder or UDFA. Less heralded than Troup but not no slacker. Leslie Frazier of Vikings seems to love the kid they say.

I would have selected this one too. His high light video is most impressive. He has attitude.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
