    Who are some guys that you think are flying under the radar that could make an impact in the NFL?

    Tyrod Taylor, QB- I don't understand why no one is talking about him (besides this board). He's a poor man's Vick but has that potential to be a good starting QB.

    Cecil Shorts, WR- Only concerns I can find on this guy is a post season injury last year and him being a little slower than his reported 4.35. He was very productive and can also return kicks, low risk high reward kinda guy.

    Allen Bradford, RB- Big back but also has some speed. May never put up great stats but in a committee can do very well. Will be better in NFL than college but once again a guy with injury concerns.

    Shareece Wright, CB- Another USC player that never got on the field a lot. Nice feel for the game and good in coverage but for some reason never played a lot.

    Carl Moore, WR- Production doesn't match the talent he had at UF, could be a solid contributer to a team.

    Dion Lewis, RB- Always liked him at Pitt, reminds me of Ray Rice.

    John Moffit, OG- I've always been high on this guy, not sure why no one talks about him.

    Greg Jones, LB- Upgraded Stephen Tulloch anyone?

    Kelvin Sheppard, LB- Always a fan of him when he was at LSU, could be a solid LB on the right team.

    Robert Sands, S- Weak class this year at the safety position and he might be one of the few bright spots.

    Nate Irving ILB NC State- noway he should be sliding the way he is

    Mason Foster OLB Washington- LOVE him in round 3

    Drake Nevis DT LSU- again, LOVE him in round 3

    Ricky Stanzi QB Iowa- barring Dalton or Ponder in round 2, I'd love to pass in the first two rounds and take Stanzi in round 3...

    Mark Herszlich OLB Boston College -seen him in round 6 and 7 in a few mocks

    Greg Romeus DE Pitt

    Steven Ridley RB LSU- was shocked he came out, but love the way he runs, and can be had in the mid-late rounds

    Armon Binns WR Cincy

    Terrance Tolliver WR LSU- I doubt we touch him b/c of character, but he's more talented then his 6th round status right now...

    Jake Kirkpatrick C TCU - really hoping we pick him up somewhere...

    My main 2 are Drake Nevis and Tyrod Taylor.

    I haven't looked as deep in to this years draft as I usually do.

    1st round sleepers/steals: Clayborn and Kerrigan. And Stanzi/Ponder... wherever they go.

    Here's my Top 3 Sleepers:

    #1 - Mark Herzlich, LB, BC - NFLDRAFTSCOUT/CBSSports have him rated as a 6-7th round pick. That's kind of a shocker for me, especially since in the 2009 NFL Draft he was projected as a 1st round pick. The dude beat Ewing's sarcoma and was told he would NEVER play football again or possible even walk again. He's 23, a little older than most seniors, but that's still ok. He has 272 tackles and 11 INTs as a starter at BC. Ran a slow 40, but put shows great strength and football knowledge, could make a legit 3-4 ILB IMO.

    #2 - Mark LeGree, FS, Appalachian St - Projected a 5-6 round pick. Good size (6'0 210), had solid combine numbers across the board. 4.49 40, 21 BP, 31 Vert. 20 INTs in three seasons at AP. He's a ball hawk and can pack a nice punch also.

    #3 - DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma - Projected a 3rd round pick. Perfect size as a RB (5'11 213). Had a great combine: 4.37 40, 21 BP, 34 Vert. 63 career TDs at Oklahoma and 5257 combined yards. I think if he would of stayed healthy, he would of been the #1 RB. I think he could be a LeSean McCoy type of player, with a litttle more bulk.

    I'm only qualified to respond about the 2 USC players mentioned, but here's my take as to why they are sleepers:

    Allen Bradford - Tons of talent, average speed, built like a brick wall......but he was stuck as a member of a trio of RB's his Senior year (Tyler, Bradford, Gable). Some injury problems early career, but IMO would be an ideal Fullback. Excellent hands, could be a Lagarette Blount type surprise. 5'11/240ish.....big dude.

    Shareece Wright - Once again, raw talent that was never able to mature. 5 year player. Injuries, academics and legal issues give him character red flags. Was Captain as a senior, no troubles, but the USC secondary as a whole was in the bottom third of the FBS. As their leader that's not too resume worthy. Once again, charater issues will be his problem.

    Just to add, Vidal Hazelton (former Trojan) and David Ausberry (convert him to TE, he's about 15 pounds away anyway).
