I've had Gray in multiple mocks already so you know I like him.
Here's a few from me...
RB Dameon Pierce, Florida (5'10" 215)
I like this kid in short-yardage and goalline, and he's a solid receiver out of the backfield. He's got some juice in the open field and he's pretty agile overall. I think he was a bit underused at Florida so he's coming in with low mileage and he's a bit under the radar.
WR Bo Melton, Rutgers (5'11" 194)
I like his ability to create off double moves and quick stutters against man. He's deceptively fast as he's more a glider when he runs but he has good top-end. I think he's going to be a quality slot player in the right system.
TE Cole Turner, Nevada (6'6" 240)
Turner isn't the fastest guy out there but he's quick enough to get himself open and he catches everything thrown his way it seems. He was a big-time target for Carson Strong the past 2 years with over 600 yards in each season, including 62 grabs and 10 TDs this year.
LT Braxton Jones, Southern Utah (6'5" 306)
Jones is athletic and has long arms (36") which already bodes well for him but he's been solid was solid as hell at Senior Bowl practices against top competition. He at least "was" a sleeper but he may now be a minimum of a day 2 guy and that could be relatively high on day 2.
S Dane Belton, Iowa (6'1" 205)
Belton played as Iowa's hybrid Cash player and he could fit a similar role in the pros. I like his style in that he's a swiss army knife DB that fits a lot of things Spags does with his DBs. He reminds me a bit of Mathieu coming out but bigger.
CB Taylor Hawkins, San Diego State (6'0" 198)
He's good in coverage and can tackle. He really had a breakout year this year. Pretty physical player.
LB J.J. Russell, II, Memphis (6'1" 225)
Of course you never know how later fliers on LBs will work out but I feel like this kid is kind of solid everywhere as a WLB-type. I think, with his speed, he'll at least be a solid special teams player.
DT Ben Stille, Nebraska (6'5" 290)
There's just something I like about Stille. He's just a consistent guy IMO and he puts some pressure in the backfield. I don't think he'll ever be a starter but as a rotational 3-tech, I think he has a future. If he's around in the 7th for KC, absolutely. He may go 5th or 6th though.
DT Dion Novel, North Texas (6'3" 315)
Big boy that commands double-teams and has a closing step that makes him a threat as a pass rusher. One of my favorites as a sleeper prospect. Like a big pinball out there sometimes, smashing one o-lineman and bouncing off to the next one and then into the backfield to make a play.
