Think I'll go with Isaiah Coulter. Good all around wideout with some length, should get squeezed pretty far down in this class though. Think he might be great value for some lucky team. (y)

Check him here vs Virginia Tech:

I like Coulter a lot and picked him up for Chicago in the ROD mock draft, but the other kid I i drafted for Chicago in the 6th is who i love

JAMES PROCHE

this dude is gonna win - it’s funny but there was a Rams mock a couple days ago that has Proche come to the Rams - that would be epic

This kid flat out balls

His best catch in college is the last one on the video. I watched that game, and my wife actually came into the room to find out why I was screaming "That's a damn touchdown!" so loudly at the TV.

QB Bryce Perkins, Virginia. He has the "it" factor.

He could use more muscle and stamina at the pro level.

Stamina? Sure. Muscle? I don't think his frame is built to add more muscle; he's really 5'8", 199 lbs. at the most. He hasn't had much, if any, experience in the passing game, and he will get blown up if you put him as a run blocker (he tries, but he's just not big enough to do it at the college level, let alone the NFL). But you just can't teach his speed, acceleration, agility, and his ability to cut and stop on a dime. He seriously reminds me of a combo between Darren Sproles and Tarik Cohen.

I like him too. His concentration is pretty special. As far as fit for us though he's gonna be a slot and maybe a solid one but we already have one of the best in the biz.

Talking sleepers is always fun. Sort of like finding a bargain in the store... it just feels good.

With the draft starting tomorrow... You got any sleepers?

This could be a sleeper pick... someone you see the Rams grabbing (or hope they do) that we are not talking about connected to the Rams.

Or...

Could be a sleeper player you like, regardless if a target for the Rams or not.

Anyone got a crush?

Mine might be Jake Fromm.

I like “heady” QB’s...and that is Fromm’s reputation. It’s also what makes a good QB sleeper, IMO.

Since "sleepers" are undefined-- Hennessy, Claypool, and (if lightning somehow strikes) Jonathan Taylor.

Justin Strnad- 3/4 ilb or 4/3 Will. Tore his bicep n his Senior year, but very twitchy and rangy Safety/Linebacker tweeted type. He was a tackling machine his JR year. He had a few int's too. His size and injury may push him into the last two rounds. He's not likely an instant starter but could work his way into the lineup over time. Great backup and Special teams guy.

Kyle Dugger- DB. Good size, good ball skills and hits hard. ( not sure how high he is projected but player at Lenoir-Rhyne.)

Travis Gipson - edge rusher Tulane

Alex Taylor - 6'-9" 310 lb former basketball player out of South Carolina State. Excellent feet and athleticism, but definitely not a first year starter. He's raw and needs some work but worth a late pick.

Looking at Day 3 guys, I'll name one on offense and one on defense: Tyler Johnson WR Minnesota and David Woodward LB Utah State.

NFL strength & conditioning specialists are pretty good at maximizing a player's strength, speed, acceleration, etc. They normally seek to achieve an idealized balance between speed & strength according to a player's position. In the case of this young man, they would seek to maximize strength without compromising speed.

We definitely need another effective RB. Malcolm Brown is ALWAYS succumbing to injury just about every year and last year's rookie had his trials & tribulations with the injury bug.

My crush? Um, Sewo Olonilua is one of them...but I'd be happy with Reggie Corbin. If y'all don't know who he is, he's a running back from Illinois. Absolutely electric. Not proven as a pass-catcher, definitely shouldn't be blocking, but he had over 1,000 yards on 126 carries. He simply is a human joystick, like Sproles or Cohen.
I always want to know who you like coming out.
You're a goldmine of college info. You rock momento.
Cheers.
