Strick's 2021 All-Sleeper Team

[nygfanstrick]

I usually make one of these every year. I try to make one right after the combine and then update the list draft week when rankings are more finalized. It is interesting to see players who were slept on who rise to be day 2 or even first round guys. I list "normal sleepers" who are projected rounds 4-5 and then I have deep sleepers 6th-UDFA. They will be listed back to back like: ___ - Normal Sleeper / Deep Sleeper. Some stand outs from last year were Kam Curl for the Redskins, Jeremy Chinn had an extremely good year but was taken off the draft week list because of his rise.

I think this year was by far the hardest year for me to do it, but I am interested to see how things change from now until draft week. I feel like with everything that went on this year the rankings may be the most inconsistent from team to team. That being said, I think that also opens the door to having great opportunities to get great value picks which hopefully we can land some more this year.

Nice list and thanks...guys I have watched and agree with as good solid middle of the draft picks I bolded.

I'll try and watch some others in the coming weeks. Love any and all scout sleeper lists.

Oddly enough, Hamilcar Rashed is dropping on some big boards. According to many scouts, he had a bad year, gained 20 pounds and all it did was slow him down. He's still intense athletic and should be able to drop into coverage but was not as effective with the extra weight, and I'm not having a 220 pounder trying to get to the QB every down.

Appreciate it man. Yeah, it was an interesting year for college football and the pre-draft but as a fan I like to try and watch as much as I can. This year definitely has been the most difficult though, which I am not sure if it has to be do completely with Covid and everything that impacted or if I just didn’t catch as many games so I’m not as familiar with the lesser known guys.

Hamilcar was someone I really liked as a potential sleeper last year after a good year and then when he returned I was expecting him to really increase his stock. That’s not good to hear about the weight and it’s impact on him. Yeah, he’s probably not someone I’d want in coverage a ton but if he’s around 220 to be effective, idk if he can be an every down edge like you said as well. Maybe getting to the professional level they can add good weight on him where he won’t be sacrificing much burst

I've been all over Coxie since he litterally manhandled a previously undefeated SMU team in 2019

Let him sit there an unknown
We get out big bodied guy in round 4

I've been watching some Josh Palmer from the Volunteers lately...what do you think of him as a late round pick? 

Beating PS3....Josh might be a sleeper. 



I like what I see...nice routes, nice hands...nice speed.

Since it is less than a week from draft week I will make some adjustments to this initial list. I will make adjustments if I have found someone I am more fond of or if a player has risen too high to fit the parameters of early sleeper 4th-5th round projection or deep sleepers being 6th-UDFA.

Red will be players that were on the first list but moved up from late to early or down from early to late since the first list! Blue will be completely new players. Black will be players remaining in their old spot.

Reminder this is off of the draft simulator's big board. There might be some guys listed in spots that likely aren't going to happen. Fun note, both of the QB selections are the same just in different orders for this one although I've heard both potentially could go much earlier than expected..
