    There are quite a few this year, so add some. I'll surely leave off many, but here are my top 3:

    1. Brandon Flowers

    Fast, hits hard, sticks like glue, and can always make a play. I've watched this kid for 2 years and he's been my favorite Hokie ever. He'll probably end up going in the 2nd round. Maybe late 2nd, but he's definitely 1st round talent. Somehow he's been overlooked for quite awhile.

    2. Adarius Bowman:
    Somehow, I can't even find a great highlight clip of this guy. But he's not in top 5 WR talks and that's just insane. He's top 2 IMO, between he and Manningham (who is also being overlooked by mediocre wrs). Size, speed, and hands. The only knock is his attitude. Bit of a drama queen. Reminds me of Chad Johnson.
    But it wouldnt surprise me if an NFL team once again makes Kiper look dumb by taking this kid before anyone in his 'top 5'.

    3. Tashard Choice:
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=-Nnstylh2g8 - a leader in the locker room.

    Baller on field.
    GT being the college team I follow most behind UM, I've seen Tashard Choice since his first carry. I knew his first game as a starter that he'd be a beast to be reckoned with. He's the guy that nobody wants to tackle. He's the best back in the draft (all-around). Speed, Strength, Vision, Patience. He's got all. Reminds me of Steven Jackson. Word is that the Broncos want him. I'll take their word as well.

    I'll let someone else add the kid from K-State.

    It's early in the year, I know, but I nominate this thread title as one of the oddest for 2008. If they are, in fact, slept on; hopefully the person doing the sleeping is comfy. If it's anything like AH, then I imagine it's rather like a bean bag chair.

    Did ja mean "sleepers?"

    That's what sleepers are buddy. Players that are 'slept' on. Meaning, overlooked. Underrated. Etc. Hence the term "stop sleeping on (insert name here)"

    Not sure I'd call Bowman and Flowers sleepers given they both likely will be taken in the 1st or 2nd rnd. I would love to have both wearing Titans blue.

    Choice is a guy that will be tremendous value in the 3rd or 4th rnd. I love his vision to hit the cutback lane and speed through the hole.

    I think that Zuttah and Sosa the OL from Rutgers will be great 2nd day value. They are a big reason for Ray Rice's great numbers.

    I also like Zac Bowman from Nebraska at CB as a 2nds day guy.

    My #1 sleeper is Derek Lockey from Texas. The guy is a clone of Kasey Hampton he is short and really really powerful. He is also surprisingly quck in pash rush and really good a breaking down the pocket.

    The fact that he is not even being invited to the NFL combines should tell you all you need to know about him. He will likely be a 2nd day pick in the 5th or 6th round but he will be a starter by then end of his 2nd year and a guy that sticks around for many many years.
