Sleepers

[DKphin]

46. LB Walter Dublin 6'2"252lbs.
Played at OSU, but had to leave because of his Mom's health. Played in the Arena League at age 19 and was a terror, which is saying something in such an offensive oriented league. The Phins are reported to have an interest in this kid.
Here is some info I got off the CDS message board:

He played largely 'Mack linebacker' in the AF2 he has quick-twitch and good lower body snap, it's clear he's bigger than he he was at OH State but I'd be surprised if he was 6'3" 270 since he was more like 6'1 3/4 257 when John Murphy [who some of us here know] had him worked out. A thought I'd heard he signed a three year contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League a couple months ago. I did here his 40s have been in the area of 4.62, he played with the Lubbock Renegades when he was only 19, and the Iowa Barnstormers after that. The most interesting thing to me is that he has helped to found and run a sports management firm SSA Worldwide Inc. with his agent Preston David. There are still many question around a guy that was at Ohio St. and Central Connecticut State University for such a short amount of time but there's clearly raw potential, but he'll need a great deal of patient coaching.

I think another sleeper is Marc Mariani, WR, out of Montana. He could be gotten in the 7th round or free agency and would have a very good chance of not only making the team but contributing. Looks like another Wes Welker type, excellent hands, deceptive speed, creates separation, and gets a lot of yards after the catch.

 

[DKphin]

47. WR Marc Mariani 6'0"185lbs.

Solid 3-year starter for one of the nation's top FCS programs. Marc is a 2005 graduate of Haver High School where he earned 10 letters: three each in football and basketball, and four in tennis. He was named all-state at wide receiver and at safety as a senior and at safety as a junior. He was named to the Great Falls Tribune’s “Super State” team at safety as a junior and at wide receiver as a senior. His senior season he had 48 receptions for 1,237 yards and 16 touchdowns. He served as a team captain as a senior in football. His 2004 football team was 12-0 and the state “A” champion. He participated in Montana’s annual East-West Shrine Game. Mariani was also a team captain his junior and senior seasons in both basketball and tennis.

At Montana, Marc redshirted as a true freshman, and was quite small at the time. in 2006, he played in all the Grizzlie's games, but mostly on special teams. In 2007, Marc led the Big Sky and was 11th in the FCS in punt returns (13.32-yard average). He was also an honorable mention All-Big Sky selection as a returner. In 2008, his career as a receiver really began to take off, as his 1,308 receiving yards for 15 touchdowns are the second most in a season at UM. Mariani also led the Big Sky in punt returns, averaging 16.22 an attempt, which ranked him fourth in the nation. He was ranked 29th in the country in receiving yards per game (81.75). In 2009, he tallied 80 catches for 1479 yards (18.5 ypc) for 13 TDs, and returned 32 punts for a 15.8 average and a TD. He also returned 5 kickoffs for a 39 yard average and another TD.
Strengths
Decent punt returner and possession guy who gets open and uses his hands. Really competes and stretches for the ball. Decent quickness. Good routes and footwork. Knows how to get open. Quick feet and dekes the DB well. Solid punt returner. Understands positioning and use of his body as the ball arrives. FCS's answer to UT's Jordan Shipley. Probably a 4.6 guy, but has some upside and intangibles. Breaks more tackles after the catch than he should for a guy of his dimensions.
Weaknesses
Marginal size and speed. Takes a little time to get to top speed. Stats are excellent but has not done it against top level competition. Shows some toughness but not a real threat after the catch. May have a tough time getting off the LOS at the next level.
Projection
Priority UDFA.

48. SLB/MLB Sam Maxwell 6'3"245lbs.

A strongside linebacker throughout his career, he worked out at weakside LB in the spring in order to get him on the field more ... Officially begins preseason work as the strongside starter, but could end up on either side ... Has been the team's top reserve at strongside linebacker the last three seasons, a position he has shared with Johnny Williams ... Has shown a knack for slicing into the opponent backfield ... Has seen action in 38 career games, making four starts.

49. WR Carlton Mitchell 6'4"212lbs.

Overview Surprising early entrant who could perhaps become an NFL starter someday.
Strengths
Great size. Very good speed. Athletic. Lots of upside. Hands and body control are there.
Weaknesses
Not a returner. Limited experience. Was not dominant, and not even necessarily his team's go-to guy. Will need to adjust to a true pro offense. Is he Andre Johnson / Calvin Johnson, or is he James Hardy / Michael Jenkins?
Projection
I thought he should have stayed in school, but I've seen some project him
as high as the second round. I think the third round is a bit more realistic.

50. DE Daniel Teo-Nesheim 6'4"263lbs.

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2] The former Husky may not have great size or speed (4.82), but his strength, hands, hustle and intelligence are all well-known among scouts. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Te'o-Nesheim set UW"s career sack record with 30, getting the mark in his last chance in the season finale against Cal. He's generally projected as a late-round pick at best.[/FONT]

http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=75619&draftyear=2010&genpos=de

Overview 3 year starter who was named 2nd team All Pac 10 for 2008 and 2009. 27 solos, 9 assists, 12.5 TFLs, 9.5 sacks, 5 FF for 2009.
Strengths
Outstanding motor and work ethic. Comes to play everydown and gives a solid effort. Slices through the line and creates havoc. Can make the big play when needed.
Weaknesses
Gets engulfed by bigger linemen and has trouble shedding their blocks when they get into him. Has good stamina, but does wear down late in games. Needs some more bulk.
Projection
5th round.

1.DT Boo Robinson 6'2"325lbs. - This guy may be under the radar, but I suspect after the combine he probably will not.
http://cdsdraft.com/profile.php?id=2074

Boo is Poo.

Boo is Poo.

:confused:

 

[newlownorder]

meaning he's not very good. overrated before being underrated.

51. OG Chaz Millard 6'3"305lbs.

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]08/04/09 - Difference Maker: Senior Chaz Millard. The guard was named a Preseason All-American by several publications and is a 2009 Preseason All-OVC selection. He is a two-time first team All-OVC selection and two-time honorable mention All-American. Millard graded out at 93 percent last season with 57 de-cleater blocks. He has not allowed a sack in 26 straight games. [/FONT]

Still has to be considered the leader of perhaps the best offensive line in FCS football. Playing center this year and has displayed his toughness and versatility for a long time now. Quick off the snap and into his man. Head hunter who keeps a nice wide base in pass pro. Not going for the throat in the run game like I thought he used to. Pulls well and is aggressive on the move. Not a great short yardage or straight ahead drive blocker. Average stamina. Has a lot of what you want. Tough, very well seasoned, versatile, and consistent. Has the look of a career interior backup. GRADE: Slightly positive

Nice work DKphin. :thanks: for all the info.

Antonio Coleman should go on the list. Not sure how the guy has to be on a Sleeper list at this point, he should be rated much higher than he is. Either way, he belongs.

 

[DKphin]

52. DE/OLB Antonio Coleman 6'2"255lbs.

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]02/11/10 - PRO POTENTIAL: DE Antonio Coleman led the SEC in both sacks and tackles for loss to wrap up his Auburn career, but Coleman's professional future is still questionable. He was plenty big enough to play his position in college, but scouts seem to be mixed on where he'll play in the NFL. A switch to outside linebacker might be in the cards, which would likely require Coleman to drop some pounds and gain some speed. Either way, he'll likely be a third-day pick. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]
01/28/10 - It was a mystery when the first round of invitations to the NFL Combine went out earlier this month, and Antonio Coleman didn't get one. The senior defensive end was one of the best pass rushers in Auburn history. Now it appears that oversight has been corrected. Coleman, who's trying to impress NFL coaches this week at the Senior Bowl in his hometown of Mobile, told a friend Tuesday that he just got invited to the combine. It's the most important job interview of your life if you hope to play in the NFL. Oh, and there are drills and tests involved, too. The combine will take place Feb. 24 to March 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, home of the AFC champion Colts. So far, Coleman and running back Ben Tate are the only Auburn players that are expected to be there, which doesn't say much for the 2009 senior class as a group. In contrast, eight Alabama players so far have been invited to the NFL Combine: Javier Arenas, Terrence Cody, Brandon Deaderick, Mike Johnson, Colin Peek, Leigh Tiffin, Lorenzo Washington and Justin Woodall. The NFL has not yet released the official list of invitees. That list may grow in the coming weeks.[/FONT]
