In this thread I will be giving what I feel will be the overlooked or not being talked about players that deserve a look. Periodically, I will be adding to this thread up until the draft. There will be more than the ones I mention, but I will limit this to the ones that are in positions of needs for the Dolphins. So let's start:

1.Cornelius Lewis OT(TSU) 6'4" 324lbs.
A transfer from Florida St. to Tennessee St. At the practices and during the game at the Texas vs. Nation was the most dominate OL. In one-on-one match-ups, he was unbeatable. He really understands how to use his hands and feet to prevent the defender from threatening the QB. He could shift inside, but I see him as more of a RT to challenge Carey or to takeover if he leaves.
 
What about Dominique Edison? 6'3 200lb WR who runs a 4.5. The dude avg 15.2 ypc With 18 TD's this past season, and avg 84 PYG.
 
2. Dominique Johnson CB(Jackson St.)6'1"190
While he is not the prospect that Dominique-Rogers Cromartie was, he is not far behind. He possess excellent ball skills and speed running a 4.39/40. He is a former Missouri Tiger and finished his senior campaign with 4 ints.

Edison has been clocked as fast as 4.3 and as slow as 4.55. The scouts were raving about him at the Texas vs Nation game. He has great hands and at 6'2", superior height. In an interview recently, he stated that if he is drafted he doesn't want to play anywhere cold. How much intelligence does this show? What does it say about his personality? Are we looking at another TO? A guy with superior ability that thinks what he does on the field is all about him rather than the team? He'll have to learn that this is the NFL, not college. Be thankful that you are getting the opportunity at the Pros and be thankful wherever you go. There are only a handful of people in the world that get a shot at making a living while playing this great game.
 
My Sleepers:


Frantz Joseph ILB-Florida Atlantic

Herb Donaldson RB-Western Illinosis

Robert Brewster OT-BAll St.

Brennon Marion WR-Tulsa

Sammie Hill DT-Stillman (Not sure if he's a sleeper anymore, but he was when I put him in my mock on 1/21)
 
3.Frantz Joseph ILB(FAU) 6'2" 243lbs
I've seen two different places that have him listed at 6'3" 236 and 6'2" 243. He's a thumper for the Owls but you have to consider the competition. I have not seen him play, but the biggest knock on him is that he is too aggressive. Well, I would call that an asset for a MLB as long as he can be coached to make that controlled aggression. He only runs a 4.75, which is pretty slow by NFL standards. He had a pick and fumble recovery that contributed to the win in the Nation vs Texas game. He has got instincts for the game. Hopefully with the right coaching he can get to around 245lbs. and still knock a little off his 40 time to something under 4.7. All-Sunbelt and on the Butkus watch list, he is projected to go in the 4th. Anything after the 4th would be good value.

I'd rather have the behemoth Herman Johnson the 6'8" 380 LBS RT/RG in the 4th round.

The only guys I kind of like from your list below is Lawrence Sidbury, Lee Robinson, and Joel Bell. But Joel Bell needs to get alot stronger before he could make it in the NFL. He would be a practice squad guy who may take 2 years before making the 53 man roster. He does have potetial though.
