With the combine upon us. Thought it would be nice to try something different.... we often discuss what you would do with our top 3 picks. But lets do the draft in reverse.... Who are your Dianond in the rough? Hidden Gem? late round sleepers? What would you do with our last 3 picks. Are there gems late in the draft that allows us wait on certain positions? My late round guys..... RB Roc Thomas, Jax st.

Mike Hughes, CB UCF: starter in the NFL. Has return skills to play immediately as a rookie.

Darius Phillips, CB West Mich: ballhawk with excellent return skills.

Antonio Callaway, WR Florida: red flags will cause him to fall, possible UDFA.

Kalen Ballage, RB ASU: Senior Bowl got him some recognition, but he's still underrated.

Edit: I'll just keep adding to this to see how they turned out in a couple years.

Simmie Cobbs, WR Indiana

Siran Neal, CB Jacksonville St

Dejon Allen

He's like Wynn in that he started started at guard then kicked out to tackle and played well even though he's only 6'2.
Trayvon Henderson, Safety, from Hawaii as well.
Ito Smith, RB Southern Miss.
Jamaro Jones, tackle, Ohio St. (Not really a sleeper but nobody talks much about him.)

John Kelly would be a great late round find. Daurice Fountain looks intriguing too.
