The image says it all. Vomiting out my 2015 NFL Draft claims.
Deep Sleepers that could make their way into Round 1
Last year the selections of Ju'Wuan James, Dee Ford, and Marcus Smith sent a cross-country wave of furrowed brow reactions. The "Who the hell is that" or "Wow, that was a reach" comments spewed from mock draft neophytes. So this year I wanted to save you from additional wrinkles to your already weathered faces. The selection methodology here is the following [1] I've never seen them in any Round 1 mock draft; [2] I haven't even heard them being mentioned in the top 50 players on anyone's board. This is some pretty deep $#!+ folks.

[SS] Jaquiski Tartt | Samford
6'1"/221. Runs a 40 in 4.50, with a top tier 10 yard 1.50 second split. Measurables aside, he is a small school prospect has excellent range and is physical at the point of contact. All of this equates to a significant upside that scouts will equate to projected future production. While I'm at it... he is my #1 Strong Safety (#2 Safety) over Alabama's Landon Collins.
[OLB] Shaquille Riddick | West Virginia
6'6"/244. A graduate transfer to West Virginia from Gardner-Webb actually hurt his stock by playing for West Virginia. The unorthodox defense does not give scouts an easy reference point when projecting a front-seven defender into an NFL. But the tools that he presents are tantalizing. He is a quick twitch player, with flexibility and fluidity in his movement. Strength is a question, but motor and ability to engage the POA is not questioned.
[3T] Marcus Hardison | Arizona State
6'3"/305. Had it not been for a knee injury he would have performed better at the Combine and Pro Day. For a man his size he is a very quick twitch athlete. On top of that his arm length (33.5"), hand size, and strength are an added asset for an interior 3T that is asked to 'shoot the gap'. The one thing that will factor heavily is the fact that not may teams play the base 4-3 on a regular basis.

[CB] Tray Walker | Texas Southern
6'3"/189. Thanks to the Seattle Seahawks height and length at the CB position has been en vogue for a few years now. There is obvious advantages in contested situations, as well as altering the WR/QB timing off the line. Even though Walker was not invited to the Combine his stock was not hurt. What makes him an exceptional candidate to sneak into the 1st round is his speed (4.4 - 40) and near elite agility (6.7 - 3 cone).
[1T/NT] Tyeler Davison | Fresno State
6'2"/316. Again interior linemen with long arms (34"), big active hands, explosive hops, and rare movement skills are prospects you would be silly not to consider high in the draft. Other guys that play the similar position, like Danny Shelton, Jordan Phillips, and Eddie Goldman are getting more pub in the e-papers lack his makeup. Tack on production and motor, he looks and sounds like a 1st rounder.
