Greg Romeus ~ Super Sleeper!!
When I evaluate any prospect, 1% of it derives from my own analysis of The Tape, and 99% of it is my evaluation of the evaluators: Those guys, quoted and linked, above, whose expertise DWARFS mine.
***
10 months ago, Greg Romeus was a consensus Top 10 Pick. But after a NIGHTMARE Senior season, his stock has gone the way of Ricky Sapp's, a year ago, and plummeted all the way to the Mid Round ~ 3rd to 5th ~ range.
And well it might: after a torn ACL AND Back surgery, Greg Romeus has probably been crossed off some team's boards, all together.
But the lad is healing.
And imagine if he simply fully recovers...and reclaims all the Strength, Speed, and Power he had, a year ago??
We're talking about a 6.5/264 athlete who has the Power, the Burst, and the Extension to Set the Edge AND Rush the Passer, and those types are extremely rare.
MIND you: he played with a pretty dubious Crouch when he was healthy, which hampered both his Anchoring and his Rush Games: If I was drafting for 40 Scheme, I might not draft this kid at all. I'd certainly want to see if he was building up his lower body strength to support that healing back...and to improve his Crouch.
But as a Flanker ~ that's "OutSide LineBacker" to you Earthlings!! ~ in 30 Scheme ~ say, in Coach Belichick's, where Setting the Edge is as important as Rushing The Passer?? That would be a damned good match up.
The term "Sleeper" has of course evolved to mean "Value", as any afficionado of The Draft has heard of most of the alleged "Sleepers." But as "Sleeper" sounds much cooler than "Value" ~ which evokes thoughts of K Mart ~ I'll just keep rolling with "Sleeper" if there're no strong objections!!
Super Sleeper!!

As always, the preceding thoughts were regurgitated, derivative tripe, adding no value whatsoever, while in fact obliterating intelligent thought and offending the spirit of all decent men. You are now stupider for having read it, and are encouraged, in the strongest possible language, never to expose your eyes to this Site again.
