4. Jeremiah Attaochu, DE, Georgia Tech
Attaochu is a powerful edge player with outstanding first-step quickness. He explodes off the line of scrimmage on passing downs, exhibiting terrific snap-count anticipation. Attaochu shows good balance and body control turning the corner to hit the quarterback on rush attempts. He complements his speed rush with an explosive bull-rush maneuver that overwhelms blockers. While Attaochu needs to refine his hand skills and learn how to set up his rush moves, he is a high-motor player who has the potential to develop into a legitimate pass-rushing threat with repetitions and coaching.

There are times when I think it would be safer taking this guy in round 2 than it would taking Barr in round 1.

I like a lot of players on this list; West, Robinson (really like this guy), Marcus Smith, Edwards and Smallwood. I'm not sure these guys are really 'sleepers' though, because a lot of draft fans like these players.

Is Savage this years Weeden?

Latimer isnt a sleeper.

Savage has done nothing to Warrant this kind of praise, teams are still stuck in measurables when evaluating QBs.

you see Savage all over the place in mocks, but now he is rising into the 2nd potentially? interesting

I would agree with that. I really like Barr, but Attaochu is not far behind in athletic ability and they're the same weight.

I beginning to think that Attaochu might not make it to #47.

Most of the players on that list are not sleepers.

I don't know much about Cody Latimer, but he is gaining serious buzz from many teams locked into 2nd round and might creep higher

I went to IU. Football team wasn't that good because of an awful defense, but the offense was good, and Latimer was the best player on it. I'd love to see him in a Cowboy uniform, but I figure he'll go on day 2, and I doubt we take one that high.

when I was trying to do an analysis on him, i found myself being drawn to this guy alot: Adam Gotsis http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/adam_gotsis_803529.html

Having said that: Attouchu has a good first step and non-stop motor who plays to the whistle and is relentless tracking the play from behind. The downside is that he doesnt have very much power often being successfully blocked by tight ends. he does have some speed tho.

My theory about Savage is that it sounds like there's too little tape of him to nitpick him apart.
