2013 Sleepers / Diamonds in the Rough


Dash Global

Recommended Posts

Would like to hear about who you guys think are sleepers/diamonds in the rough.

Ill start.

DT Montori Hughes

Big DT that was a highly rated prep player that was dismissed from Tennessee and finished out his college career at Tennessee-Martin.

CB/S Melvin White

Big fast athletic DB from Louisiana Layfayette that has played S and CB.

Glad to see this thread.

I am also glad DT is pretty loaded this year.

I kind of disagree about Montori Hughes. Yes, the raw ablity is there, but he put up mostt of his stats at the FCS level vs. a 2-win team. He should have dominated.

A player who played on the FCS level and DID dominate is Georgia Southern's Brent Russell. He too, however,has character issues.

My sleeper DT is Chris Jones of Bowling Green. 6-1, 292 and quick. Finished 4th in the nation with 12.5 sacks (a DT, mind you).

Regarding Hughes, he was double teamed quite a bit. Just in the youtube vid he was being doubled and still holding is ground quite well.

I want a NT that has the tools physically to excel at his position.

Russell and Jones are UTs. Although id prefer us to draft a potential starting NT I wouldnt be upset with those guys.

Ricky Wagner (OT Wisconsin)

I trust Wisconsin o-lineman more than any other school in the country. Wanted Zeitler last season who's played great in the league and think Wagner definitely could be good at the next level. Is average in some areas but doesn't have any glaring weaknesses.

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
