& Brandon Jacobs

Answer 1

Sleepers are hard to predict but if I had to choose, here's would be my pick:

QB - Phillip Rivers, San Diego: He waited two season for this opportunity and now he's going to inherit one of the top offense in the league. The former no. 4 pick out of NC State (he was traded to SD in exchange for the no. 1 pick, Eli Manning, in which his father, Archie, influence the trade) will work with LT and Gates, as well as McCardell in the offense. He's bound to have up-and-down games as he starts to learn, but he has been consistent enough to keep the job for the rest of the season, now that Brees is in New Orleans.

RB - Wali Lundy, Houston: out of all the rookie RB in this year draft, only Lundy and Mike Bell will start the season as the feature back come Week 1. Domanick Davis is in jeoperdy of not only losing his job as the starting RB, but might not make the team final cut come Week 1 with the injury that linger him last season. If that happen, look for head coach Gary Kubiak (a former offensive coordinator for Denver) to give the job to the rookie, since he has outperform his competition, Vernon Morency, in preseason. If the Denver magic continues in Houston, Lundy might be a candidate for rookie of the year (if the NFL ever recognized that).

RB Fred Taylor, Jacksonville: I wouldn't call him a sleeper but experts are down on him this year, but with goal-line vulture Greg Jones being out for the season (torn ACL), Taylor will get his share of the ball, despite his closest competition from former UCLA standout Maurice Jones-Drew.

WR Troy Williamson, Minnesota: Ko-Ro just "drank" his way out of the team and now QB Brad Johnson needs a new no 1 target in the passing offense. Enter Williamson, a second year pro who was suppose to replace Randy Moss in the offense. Although Williamson doesn't have the breakout speed as his teammate Marcus Robinson and Travis Taylor, Johnson is not a deep-threat passer, so it suits Williamson's game very well. In fact, Johnson has look for Williamson more in the passing offense, which could spell good things for him this season.

WR Ernest Wilford, Jacksonville: Former QB turn WR Matt Jones is getting the media attention as the new go-to guy in the passing offense, mainly because of his height (6'6) and weight (246), but don't discount Wilford out. Wilford had some nice numbers in limited action when Jimmy Smith was still there, but with Smith retiring, somebody has to step up. Although Jones is going to get his share, Wilford will put a nice season (Did I mention he's a third-year pro, something a WR burst out in that year).

WR Antonio Bryant, San Francisco: He has a 1,000 yard season last year, so how come he down the barrell among WR? The answer is simple: SF had a horrible offense last season and the contreversy among the office management (mostly the "racist" and "sexist" video the PR produced and star in to motivate the players) didn't help the image of the 49ers either. But with the emergence of second year RB Frank Gore, things got a little brighter in a city that has a Golden Gate. Depending if former #1 pick Alex Smith can turn it around, Bryant will have a solid season as the only reliable WR that Smith can pass to (in fact, Smith and Bryant has good chemistry on the field, which means good thing for Bryant).

TE - Ben Watson, New England: As Branch continues to holdout, Watson looks more and more like the #1 guy in the passing offense that has passing champ Brady helming at QB, which could mean great numbers. Troy Brown is still a good reciever but his age (over 30) and the fact that he's playing with special team (PR and KR) should take a toll on Brown. Reche Caldwell and rookie Chad Jackson are capable reciever, but Caldwell is injury-prone and Jackson hasn't amaze anybody this season. Come Week 1, if Branch is still sittting at home, look for Watson to be the integeral part of the offense.

K Michael Koenen, Atlanta - Projected to be the teams primary punter entering training camp, Koenen just might have promoted to being the primary FG kicker after his impressive pre-season. Atlanta kickers have a history of producing 100 point season, so Koenen might get his share of the points if Vick and co. continues to move the ball well for some decent FG opportunity

Defense - Minnesota: They're still a work in progress, but they do know how to play defense (they were second in the league in INT with 24 last season) and the sacks should come along and reduce points given up from last season, so I think there an up-and-coming defense that should improve.

For your side draft, you did pretty well and I wouldn't change a thing.

Answer 2

Sleepers:

QB - Mark Bulger - I know, not really a sleeper. But he seems to be falling in everyones drafts because Martz is gone. Well that didn't help the STL defense. The Rams will still need to throw, and they haven't lost any offensive weapons. This guy should be a top 5 QB.

Honorable Mention: Bret Favre - will be throwing all day every day. And will fall to 10th round or later.

Also: Kittna, Simms, and Brees

RB - hard to find sleepers here, so look for likely injury replacements: Deangelo Williams, Maurice Drew (now that Greg Jones is done), Steven Davis I heard was signed by the Rams, Laurence Maroney. Lundi and Morency in HOU (I wouldn't be surprised if Dominic Davis doesn't play at all)

As far as starters who seem to slip in the draft: Reuben Droughns, Warrick Dunn, and Frank Gore

WR - I had Stallworth as a sleeper, but now that he's #1 in PHI, he's not a sleeper anymore.

Mike Clayton - Mark Clayton - Greg Jennings - Bryant Johnson

TE - Ben Watson (not really a sleeper) but this guy should be right after Gates and Shockey at this point. Just nasty. Especially if Branch doesn't sign.

Also - Vernon Davis, Kellen Winslow
Deep Sleeper - Zach Hilton

K - Josh Brown, Matt Bryant

DST - look at some of the NFC Norris teams like the Pack and Vikes - easy schedules. Same goes for the Bills.

Answer 3

Nice looking team! You should do well.
Sleepers this year:
QB Kitna, Volek.
RB Gore, Barlow, Wali Lundy, Norwood.
WR Roy Williams, Matt Jones, Wilford, Bryant, Lloyd
TE Watson, Schefler
K Gostkowski
DEF Arizona

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Jon Kitna is also a good sleeper QB, but i dont think Warner is. He will get injured or replaced by Lienart sometime during the season. Mike Bell and Frank Gore are great sleeper RBs and so is Ahman Green. Another sleeper WR is M. Clayton.

Answer 5

No one is really talking about a guy I like to call Larry Johnson, RB for the KC Chiefs. Super Sleeper 2006

Answer 6

Great team except for your 3rd - 5th recievers. I love your runningbacks and Quarterbacks. Very solid.
My sleepers this year are Roddy White. I think he's gonna break out this year (and it helps that espn thinks so too). I also like David Givens to be pretty good at tenesse

Answer 7

Yovanni Gallardo. Very youthful and could remember on because of the fact the ace. Manny Parra. gets countless innings and could probable be forgotten in many drafts. will possibly no longer even ought to draft him. he would be a reliable after draft pickup. gets possibility for 2 hundred innings which will probable equivalent approximately one hundred seventy five+ strikeouts

Answer 8

I like Matt Jones and Winslow Jr.

Answer 9

new englands d is a good choice but you wr are kind of weak javon is overrated as well as jenkins but yourTE look about as good as possible.

Answer 10

well done
