Every year a player gets selected that makes the other teams feel like jackasses for passing on him. Last year, the Cards got Boldin and made other teams feel pretty stupid for relying on that 4.65 forty time as the proof of his worth.

For the record here, which guy is going to slip and be picked much later than he deserves. I'm not talking a diamond in the rough but a player going in the late first round or a second rounder like Boldin which was a top ten pick.


I will go with Rashuan Woods of Okl. St. , this guy to me is the complete package. He catches anything that comes his way. He has vertical speed. He can deal with double teams and I feel he will be capable to be the bump at the line. He can find the openings in the zone. Some say he is short but that is only compared to the other guys in the draft, most CBs will still be shorter than him. Teams will feel bad for passing on this kid.

Marquise Hill DE with LSU would be my choice......see him as a very late 1st to middle 2nd round pick who will turn heads by mid season

So you think Woods will be that much better than Fitz, and the three Williams? Those guys are really good, it'll be hard for Woods to be a lot better than those guys...

What has Woods done not to think so

Woods did everthing his team asked of him and more. Yes, I feel Woods is that good. He might not be better but I doubt he will be anthing less. Woods did nothing his last year that makes me doubt this guy. It is a rich draft at WR and Woods will be one of the studs to come out of this draft along with the Fitzs, the Williams and probably even two others. Denny could trade down and still get his #1 vertical threat.

Steven Jackson of course, if you can call a first rounder a sleeper.
Reggie Williams I think will be the best receiver, just a hunch.

Shawnte Spencer, Pittsburgh. He'll be a good CB at a late round, kinda like Hill but better.

Only Defensive players and one homer WR.

DT - Junior Siavii - Oregon - Massive, agile, physical, and athletic, but a little raw.

DT - Ahmed Childress - Same as Siavii but with with more bust or greatness potential.

LB - Jorge Cordova - Nevada - Pass rushing machine SLB.

LB - Brandon Chillar - UCLA - Has production and all of the tools, all of his weakness are very coachable.

CB - Corume Cox - Maryland - Smart, experienced, physical, and good size, but not great speed.

CB - Shawntea Spwnter - Pitt. - Smart, very experienced, tall(6-2) with long arms to go with it, lacks top speed.

WR - Clarence Moore - NAU - I watched this guy play all year long and was amazed at his size and how well he uses it. 4.55 40, physicall, and dominated at that level of competition. Level of comp is a concern and although he dominated you can tell he is very raw, especially when it comes to routes, blocking, and the little things.

Good comparison. He is a Hill clone, but 3 inches taller.

Courtney Watson, MLB Notre Dame.

Another in the more recent trend of smaller, faster MLBs who can play on 3rd down. Ran a 4.54 40 at the combine but who cares? He's a smart, hard-hitting play-making fool. A gem on a bad Irish team.

Rod Rutherford QB U. of Pittsburgh. 6'3" 230

Matt Schaub QB U of Virginia 6'5" 245

Schaub is not a sleeper, just not a household name. Top 5 QB. Rivers got the press but Schaub may be better.

Rutherford played for 4 years in a pro set and threw to Fitzgerald and Antonio Bryant. Big Numbers. All Big East.

Rod Davis, MLB from Southern Miss.

He won't be as good as DJ Williams, who will be awesone IMO, but he'll be very good nonetheless.

Not really a sleeper, but Roy Williams will prove to be the best offensive player in the draft while Mike Williams will struggle in the NFL.

Also Maurice Clarrett will prove to be a much better player than where he will be drafted.

I dont care for Schaub but I do like Rutherford a ton. He has good size and a cannon for an arm.

I think he's soft, he drops easy balls, he doesn't run very good routes, he couldn't dominate with his size and athleticism in college and he sure as hell won't in the pros, he disappeared in big games, and worst of all, he gave himself a nickname.
All sizzle, no steak.

Give me Reggie Williams over Roy Williams.
