Forked from: Just for fun, here's a deep sleeper at WR. (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showpost.php?postid=2373951)


Chaz Schilens San Diego State. He's 6'3.7." He ran in his pro day 4.38 40 and had a 43" vertical jump. Why is he so far under the radar? For starters, San Diego State isn't exactly USC. He was modestly productive in his junior year: 34 receptions for 483 yards. He had a stress fracture his senior year and missed most of it. He came back the last two games and had 14 receptions for 389 yards. He's probably not going to be drafted, but the minute the draft is over, Buffalo ought to have someone on the phone with him to offer him a rookie contract. He's going to be raw, but his numbers are off the charts, and he's shown he can be productive.

A guy on the rise;

WR Arman Shields-Richmond
6'1, 194, 4.37-40, 37.5-vertical

Pros:
-Hands
-Speed
-Works over the middle

Cons:
-Durability (only played in 3 games his senior year)
-After catch skills
-Competition Level

Note: Had 12 catches v. Vanderbilt earlier this year. That says something for his ability play up

By the way I can do this all day!

[TigerJ]

I can't.

[DraftBoy]

I can't.

Thats why you got me here!

Also when the draft guide is done, Ill be working on a few original articles speaking about the lower level prospects exclusively, and how they fit in as sleepers.

[TigerJ]

I look forward to it.
