Charlie Kehs 6-5 325 OT/OG Kutztown University
Jahri Evans 6-4 320 OT/OG Bloomsburg University
Cletis Gordon 6-2 195 CB Jackson State
Davon Vinsoon 6-3 233 QB Northwestern State

This guy will be selected no later than the mid 5th round, and can see him move up into 3rd round of the draft.
Chris Gocong 6-3 270 DE Cal Poly

These guys should be gone no later than round 3
Danieal Manning 6-0 205 S Abilene Christian
Marques Colston 6-4 216 WR Hofstra
 
I'd take Gocong 3rd round, but I see him as a Bruschi clone.

CB David Pittman, Northwestern State - I really liked his game in the Senior Bowl practices and game.

I really liked what I saw of WR Richie Ross, Nebraska-Kearny, at the combine - his stats are good too.
 
Some other interesting sleeper prospects:

Troy Bergeron, WR

(arena league WR, did not play in college - he's been spectacular in the AFL, and will likely end up a developmental player on some NFL team this year)

Miles Austin, WR
http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/wr/milesaustin.html
definitely would need work, but could be a great developmental project WR

Charles Bennet, DE
http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/de/charlesbennett.html
Could be taken in round 6 or 7 (or FA) as a potential LB conversion project. Good pash rusher who needs to work on almost everything else - but has the frame and quickness to develop into a decent prospect.

Jeromey Clary, OT
http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/ot/jeromeyclary.html
OT and OG seem to be one of the best positions where you can find good players on day 2. Some of them need development work, but it can pay off. Clary could be one of those guys. "Smart with terrific intangibles."

Willie Hall, OT
http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/ot/williehall.html
Has a lot of upside, but needs a good deal of development. Could be a nice practice squad developmental guy, as he has the physical tools to develop into a very good OT (if he gets a bit stronger, and improves technique). Had he stayed in for his senior year, he could be a day 1 pick, but for some reason chose to come out after his junior year (possible family money issues?).

These sleepers are always interesting to look at. Maybe 1 out of 5 will turn out to be a good pro prospect, some potentially developing into great players. But, there's a lot of guesswork in knowing who.
