Draft longshot most likely to succeed

[Kirby Jackson]

Every year there are players drafted on day 3 (or undrafted) that go one to have great careers. Who is the player, projected outside of the top 100 picks, that you think is likeliest to be a good pro?

 

I’ll throw a name out: Rakim Jarrett, WR Maryland

 

He was a highly recruited player with great physical tools. His technical skills are lacking but if he gets “coached up” you’ll have something imo.

Darrell Luter Jr. CB South Alabama

I like Jarrett as well, but he really needs to be schemed open because he’s never going to fool anyone with the routes he runs 

 

 

I’ll go with Drake Taylor. LB NC St. 
 

short with short arms.  I see why people don’t like him very much, but when I watch the tape-  he’s a downhill demon

 

I hope we roll the dice on him in rd 6 if he’s there.

You mean we can get another LB not named Jack Campbell?!  Someone better start a thread on this and let everyone know!

There is a really good sleepers topic: 

 

Some deep sleepers in there, but good stuff. 

[Solomon Grundy]

I'm going with "Chuck Sizzle", Charlie Jones, WR, Purdue and Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State

I've seen both Jones and Jarrett play in college and both were pretty good.  I'd have no problem with the Bills spending a late-rounder on one of these guys (assuming they've filled other needs).

I think Stetson Bennett has a pretty good chance to stick as a backup qb.

[Yantha]

Ben VanSumeren, LB Mich St.

Diggs would surely love a Maryland buddy

He was my other thought. The build isn’t there but he’s been so productive.

Yea he is tha kinda late day 3 running back who ends up having a 1,000 yard season.

I don’t know why people are so down on Bennett…I assume it’s partly because of his age, but plenty of people like Hooker, and he’s just as old.

[LyndonvilleBill]

I'll throw Jarrick Bernard-Converse as a late round CB, even possibly a PUDFA in here. Although he is listed as a CB, he can also play Saftey (which is where I would probably slot him in) as well as special teams. 

 

 

[CSBill]

I'm going with that QB from Iowa State, Brock Purdy.

Johnny Lumpkin- TE- Ragin Cajuns.

 

Reason I think he’ll succeed:  his name is Johnny Lumpkin.  Obv

It’s also because he’s 5’10

 

he has a lot of cheap upside as a Developmental QB3 in the 6th or 7th… but his physical gifts are very very low
