Ok, this is probably the most over cliched and misunderstood label thrown around on draft day. Most people think you have to grab a guy from the back of the draft or someone that you don’t know in order to qualify as a sleeper. I’m more of the opinion that a sleeper is simply a guy right below the surface that you can get 2-4 rounds later than his actual value. So far this year a few names at each position have jumped out at me. Here’s who’s on my mind…
