You just got a glimpse into what our first round thoughts are, so now we are bringing you our Sleepers in this draft class.

I am going to go ahead and throw down some thoughts on these.

The players I selected as my sleepers are a mixture of known and unknown talents.  On the offensive side of the ball I have James Davis, Jarett Dillard, Ramses Barden, and Travis Beckum as skill players and Cedric Dockery for the o-line.  All four of the skill players are used to a lot of touches on offense and their teams often revolved around them. 

Davis has a nice combo of speed and power.  I could see him start as a special teamer and third stringer, but work his way up the chart to be a nice change of pace back and possible third down back.

Dillard was a main focal point of Rice's high powered offensive attack during his career.  Scouts Inc has him graded out at a 53, which is just above average, but if you look at his skill ratings, I would have to think he is a bit better than that rating.  He lacks vertical speed, so this makes him a prime candidate to be a possession receiver.  I don't buy the size argument and never have, so that is moot to me.

Ramses Barden is a monster size wise.  He doesn't have the great breakaway speed, but at 6'6, just throw the ball up and let him go get it.  He will be a difference maker in this league I feel.

Travis Beckum had a bit of a setback his senior season due to injury, but that doesn't change the fact that he can get into the open spaces and catch just about everything thrown to him.  He is a capable blocker, but is better used in the passing game.

Cedric Dockery is not going to be a Pro Bowl player, but he will have a very good, very solid career in my opinion.  He played at a top notch school, against some of the best competition in college, and played for a very good coach.  Dockery will provide good depth for whoever drafts him.

On the defensive side of the ball, I went with players from smaller schools.

Sammie Lee Hill is a mammoth inside.  At 6'3, 329 lbs, he takes up plenty of space.  I think with the right training and strength and condition, he can become a big time player.  He would benefit playing in a 4-3 defense the first couple seasons, so he can get established on the ins and outs of playing DT in the NFL. 

Lawrence Sidbury is an interesting prospect, because he could eventually play LB or DE on the pro level.  He was a very productive player in college and helped lead Richmond's defensive unit.  He is said to have average durability, which is funny to me, because he only missed two games in the last two seasons.

I haven't been able to watch much of Frantz Joseph, other than two games that I managed to catch.  From what I saw of him, I think he can add positive depth to a team's linebacking unit.  Is he Ray Lewis Jr?  No, but he could be another Gary Brackett or Freddy Keiaho, which isn't a bad thing.

The last player that I thought could be a sleeper was Hawaii's Solomon Elimimian.  He has a nose for the ball and is constantly making plays.  I would put him and Frantz Joseph along the same career path.  Start as backups and then work their way into starting spots and have solid careers.
