I've been seeing a lot of old post on the main board lately where people are touting their own horns for having some good foresight. I thought I might do the same. The 3 of the 4 sleepers I brought up in this thread are doing pretty well for themselves. Mark Anderson Was drafted in the 5th round behind the likes of Eric Smith and Anthony Schlegel. While not being a starter, he had the fourth-highest sack total recorded by an NFL rookie since 1982 with 12.0. Finished second in NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. This year he took over the staring role and had Alex Brown sent to the bench. I still think he would be an even better 3-4 OLB. Anthony Montgomery Another 5th round pick. Despite seeing only limited action as a rookie, Anthony worked himself into the starting line-up in 2007 and has become an integral of Washington's 6th ranked rush defense. IMO Montgomery still would be a monster 3-4 DE. Brandon McKinney Went undrafted. Got picked up by San Diego, as a rookie he moved up from the practice squad, to the 53 man roster to 3rd NT on the depth chart. He is now 2nd in the depth chart at NT behind Jamaal Williams. He could easily start for us. He's not a better talent than Robertson just a better fit for the 3-4 scheme. Charles Bennett Went in the 7th round to Tampa Bay. He is struggling to stay on the roster as a DE. At just 245 lbs, he just does not have the bulk to be an every down 4-3 DE. He's best bet at any NFL success is to be released, find a team that runs the 3-4 and try his luck at OLB. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?p=719013#post719013
Montgomery is such an animal. He's probably the best DL player on the Skins right now. Gabe Watson has played very well for the Cards at NT. Not great, but not many first year NTs are. Barry Cofield Jr. was another guy who could play 3-4 end. The Giants like him alot. Jeremy Mincey was an interesting 3-4 OLB prospect that the Pats drafted. Don't know where he is right now.
