Who's your sleeper pick???

kcbubb · 04-24-2009, 10:20 AM

Post your favorite sleeper pick and why. If anybody has a favorite sleeper RT that we desperately need, I would like to hear about him too.

My sleeper is Louis Murphy WR Florida. Nice size/speed combo with a 4.32 40 and 6'2.5" 203. Has injury concerns, but could be a nice speed addition to complement Bowe and Bradly especially with the departure of Tony G. Murphy started 26 of 48 games for Florida, catching 77 passes for 1,245 yards. He closed out his career with at least one catch in each of his last 27 games.

With Haley's experience with talented wideouts, hopefully he could coach Murphy up to his potential.

Marcus Freeman The Ohio State University. I think he is going to be a very good player, very fundamental, smart, and a hard hitter. Coming from TOSU that's what you expect from the LB's. He has managed to fly under the radar so far.

Hes a big athlete (I think 6-5, 330ish?) who is versatile enough to play rg and rt and has good feet.

Just about everyone I picked in the 5th round or later in the CP mock.

And Mr. Irrelevant is Sam Swank, K from Wake Forest University!

There are a lot of 2nd day picks in this draft that could end up being very good.

There's a LB at san diego state, Russell Allen, who played about every position on the defense, finished 3rd in the nation in tackles, and tested as well as any other linebacker. I already like him better than Cushing or Mathews and he could be there in the 5th or 6th.

A guy like Greg Isdaner G from West Virginia could come in and end up being a starting guard.

That doesn't look comfortable. It looks sleek and stylish, but not comfortable.

OLB Russell Allen is ranked #299 on DraftTek. Looks like a decent athlete, maybe he’ll get a camp invite.
3/27/2009 – San Diego State Pro day: San Diego State’s March 25 pro day drew representatives from 25 different teams. Twenty one players worked out outdoors on FieldTurf. Due to 5-10 mph winds, players ran one 40-yard dash with the wind and the second against it. LB Russell Allen (6-2 3/4, 230) ran a 4.64 and a 4.63 in the 40-yard dash. Allen posted a 33.5-inch vertical jump, 9-foot, 10-inch broad jump, 4.34 short shuttle, 7.21 three-cone drill and 24 bench press reps. ??? Gil Brandt, NFL.com
