It’s easy to get wrapped up in the big-name college players who will be jockeying for position in the first round of the NFL Draft. Mock drafts focus on rounds one through three, and generally pay little attention to those later rounds.
But not all good players get taken in the early rounds, in fact, some fairly decent ones are taken close to the end of the draft.
Ever hear of Tom Brady? Yeah. Sixth round pick.
Teams are always on the lookout for some cheap talent near the bottom of the draft, because you never know who is going to turn out to be the next great player at a particular position.
As well as where in the draft players are selected, where they go to school can also play a part. Of course Top 25 teams will draw the most eyes, because they get the most exposure. But schools who aren’t necessarily football factories, or in some cases, aren’t even Division I, can produce some great talent as well.
Ever hear of Joe Flacco? Yeah. Delaware.
So after sifting through a lot of players who aren’t necessarily going to be high on the draft boards or the talk of war rooms, I found eight guys who it might be worth looking at as some late round bargains.
