We got the #1 and the #3 top sleepers in the draft

10 sleeper prospects for 2016 NFL Draft

At least here's some positive info on Lucien.

I'm glad they remained sleepers during the draft---despite the article.

We had two last year as well: Roberts, Flowers

Still sleepers then. Prefer that to busts.

So Manx, who should the Pats be looking to grab next year if we still have a 1st round pick?

I know you are probably exhausted after this latest draft and all the lead up to it, so take your time to respond.

No hurry.

Tomorrow is fine.

Roberts looked great until he hurt his wrist and took a red-shirt year.

Wow. I just went through a Lucien highlight video and I was extremely impressed.

The way he caught the ball at times reminded be of Odell Beckham, who constantly has his huge hand size brought up by analysts, commentators, etc. Well, I checked their hand sizes and both he and Beckham are 10", with an additional 1/8 for Lucien.

Due to injury, at least. I'm still very bullish on Roberts, think he would've been a major contributor if not for the broken wrist. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he beats out Logan Ryan and becomes a starter this year.

And Mitchell has bigger hands than either of them. I doubt it's a coincidence that the Pats' 2 WR picks share this trait, seems like Belichick has added this to his WR checklist alongside "really good 3 cone"

It'll be great competition this year :

Butler
Ryan
----------
Roberts
Coleman
Jones
----------
3 interesting UDFA

Did someone say sleepers? I need a nap.

I think Cyrus Jones will quickly find his way into the #3 spot. Kid looks like a stud.

Not a "cat nap"?

 

[IllegalContact]

Sleepers?

I hate what Kevin Bacon did to those boys

And Woody Allen? Don't get me started

Agreed, the groups weren't necessarily in order. Butler, Ryan, Jones willl likely be the top three with Coleman, Roberts and the UDFA competing for two spots.

You're forgetting Biggers (****us?) who we picked up in off season.

You're right, I guess I like the new flashy toys. That makes the competition even tougher. In reality, I expect Biggers to be Goners, with Roberts, Coleman and the UDFA competing for the last two spots with one or two of the losers hopefully showing enough for the PS.

Looks like good depth on paper.

Certainly
