Last night on the Draft Professors Podcasts, Jim, EJ and I discussed some of our favorite day three sleepers. We were able to work through every single position and each of us throw out one name for all of them!
(Unfortunately, my microphone wasn’t registered and therefore my voice wasn’t quite as clean as usual)
The NFL season has concluded with the Philadelphia Eagles putting on a dominant showing in Super Bowl LIX, when they got revenge on the Chiefs by ending their quest to the first ever three-peat, which started two years ago with a win over the Birds on the big stage. Of course we’ll discuss free agency soon, but we are ready to fully dive into draft season and for people who haven’t paid attention yet – this process has already started.
We’re just over two weeks away from the NFL combine, but the all-star games and preparation for those are in the books. So after watching all of the practice footage and both contests to finish off those events, I want outline the names that stood out the most to me from East-West Shrine and Senior Bowl weeks. I did watch the Hula and Tropical Bowl and we’ve still got the HBCU Bowl on slate, but I want to focus on those two prime showcases of talent.
Therefore, I decided to highlight ten standouts on offense and defense each, also picking the same number from each event. I could’ve easily talked in detail about several other players who caught my eye and am happy to share my notes down in the comment section, but I did at least list a bunch of names at the bottom.
We’re about three weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft and to complement all my positional rankings, I wanted to highlight some prospects that I haven’t gotten to yet or were outside the top-10/12 in their respective classes, who I believe are being undervalued on consensus boards and I wanted to plant my flag on as “my guys”.
Draft season is in full swing and I’m just over halfway through my positional rankings!
So at this point, I wanted to take some time to talk about some of my favorite prospects and guys I’m just higher on than consensus boards have them.
The 2017 NFL Draft is only a couple of days away and while everybody’s discussing what will happen in the first round, I wanted to shine some light on the prospects that not everybody might know about, but that I really like. Most of them will be selected on day three, even though they are really good players. There’s no actual criteria for what is defined as a sleeper. I just looked at where these guys are listed on the big boards if the major networks and compared it to my rankings.
