Hidden Gems

[augustisback003]

This thread is going to be about finding and sharing info on those unheralded and little known prospects that could develop in the right environment. I welcome others to share their opinions on the players they feel are hidden gems.

Akiem Hicks DT 6'4⅝" 318 Salve Regina
A juco transfer to LSU that was the focus of the probe that resulted in the LSU football team being placed on probation by the NCAA. There is talent there but he's reported to have a questionable work ethic but with the right coaching he could turn out to be one of the best D-linemen to come out of this draft.

Dale Moss WR 6'3⅜" 220 South Dakota State

Basketball player playing wide-receiver. This formula works for TE but can it work at the WR position? The kid is talented with big hands and great leaping ability the only question is how long will it take him to learn how to run routes. His body type and running style reminds me a lot of Webster Slaughter whos worth taking as a late round flyer gamble.

I Pead. I Poop'd. He'll slip to us in the 2nd. Gobble him up like a 2 dollar whore swallows a drunken load at 2 am on the corner of 9th and Vine.

I thought we got rid of Benson.

Which is why we need to fill that spot.

Danny Coale.

5th round pick by the Cowboys.

Todd McShay called him the "blue plate special" of the draft and picked Coale to have the most impact for any Dallas draftee, over 1st round Morris Claiborne
