    2008 NFL Draft Sleepers?
    who you got?

    i like geno hayes from FSU. ive read that hes likely to come out and some have him projected from rounds 3-5. id be shocked if he doesnt go in the first two, and doesnt eventually see time in a pro-bowl or two.

    Not sure if he's a big "sleeper" but I think Mario Manningham will be a solid NFL receiver for some team.

        He's only a Sophomore, I think, but how about that McGaha from ASU? That guy looked phenomenal in the bowl game vs Texas. I'd be keeping my eye on him. He's big, and sure handed.

          Good call on Hayes Mo, I think you're right on the money there. My sleeper who will most likely be drafted even further down might be Dicky Lyons from Kentucky. The guy has very good hands, can run a pretty good 40, can block, and isn't afraid to catch passes over the middle and hold on to the ball time and again. I don't think he was ever fully utilized in the UK offense, and if he comes out will probably go in rounds 4-6. I REALLY believe he'll be a Welker or Stokley type that will be a steal for whomever drafts him....

              Mcgaha is a soph, yeah. he looks good, but he doesnt find himself in the endzone often enough for someone that gets his hands on that many balls. maybe he'll add that to his game in 08.

                  i cant see lyons coming out this year, but wit burton gone, he should be a star next season. good player, def an NFL talent. good call...interesting pick.

                    I think Chris Johnson from East Carolina will be a nice pick up for anyteam that takes him. I see him as a Justin Fargas, Kevin Faulk, Leon Washington type of player that can be used im many different situations

                        ive seen him projected in the 3rd round, but i didnt get the chance to watch him much. he and aundrae allison have to be two of the more talented kids to play at ECU at the same time. i know the vikes love Allisons talent.
