Of course it all depends on round 1 and who’s on the board. Assuming they go DT in round 1, if he’s on the board I’d take Umanmielen. He might start as a situational player, but should grow into the needed Edge. If an OG, like Jackson, falls, they’d consider him. A name I have’t heard out there is UCLA LB Schwesinger. He needs to add power, but he’s athletic and has terrific instincts. He will be situationally useful(coverage) and great on special teams. With patience he could develop into a good leader in the middle. Finally if they go Edge in round 1, UF DT Farmer may be on the board. He’d be primarily an anchor in the middle. He’s not likely to become a force at collapsing pockets. Sorry to offer multiple choices, but round one forces the direction to a large extent. My expectation is they focus on the lines.

SU QB Kyle McCord. Homer and believer that he’s going to end up being a solid starter somewhere. Reports are he had a really good pro day.

Will go too early to be sleepers but 2 Wrs I think will wind up being much better than rated.

Named him before SJSU Nick Nash, Wr ran a 4.57 at the combine which will probably make him slide but he will be one of those dudes who's always open and catching the ball on Sunday. Not sure where he's pegged now I had seen him 3rd maybe even higher before the combine but I think he ran slower than they hoped.

And a kid who I've now seen 3rd round Donte Thornton from Tenn. 65 career catches in 4 years, 2 at Oregon 2 at Tenn. 10 TD's, 6 this year, over 20 a catch for his career. Very raw guy but fast as hell 4.3 at the combine, 6'5, I think he's going to eventually be a legit NFL deep threat but probably not an instant impact guy

I'd take a late round flyer on Seth Henigan, qb Memphis. With KM being injury prone, Tune doing his best imitation of the Pastranaut, and Brissett being a third string qb; I would prepare to not have a quarterback and take Henigan.

Denzel Burke, CB Ohio State. He is probably going in round 3-4 this year. Last year he was probably a late 1st early 2nd guy.
He's had an up and down career. Good freshman season, bad sophomore year but allegedly played hurt, great junior year, then a so-so senior year. He's talented for sure.

Yeah I always find it interesting to see where guys that stay end up going. No guarantees what might have happened but guys like Burke and Nazir Stackhouse were 2nd round grades last year, now they are 4th and 5ths.

Burke is an Arizona guy too right? I'm not sure I'd draft a lower round CB, we have lots of them. I think I'm only taking CB if Will Johnson is there at #16.

I'm confused. Why would it matter what happens in round 1 if the question is late round sleeper pick, regardless of team?

Sorry this was intended to respond to their round 2 direction. I’ll post my entire draft projection later this week that will include some surprising possibilities at various points in the draft.

shout out for a local product from Brophy Prep:

Benjamin Morrison, CB Notre Dame

lost in the shuffle this year as a hip injury cost him the last 2/3 of ND's season. But if "Ball Skills" are what you want in a CB-- he has it in spades. 9 ints in his college career of 2.25 seasons. Starter since his freshman year and team captain this past year. Add very high character to the mix.

Was he the one who made the game clinching INT against PSU?

Wow, absolutely dominated the battle, and I also see great manners as well: respect the players he's going against and even the cone.
