sleeper/bust picks of the draft

all this talk about huge players and everything has made me wonder about "sleeper" picks. i had a couple guys in mind. i think lorenzo booker will be a very good player at the next level with his ungodly talent. roy hall is my sleeper WR of the draft. i think chris leak will be good at the next level. these are my main picks as of now. i am sure you guys know some better "sleepers" from DIAA schools and the like. my bust of the draft at this point is leon hall.....i'm sorry but i just don't see it.
 
I agree I think Leon hall is a bust as well as Branch. Also think Jamarcus Russell will be a bust. Agreed I think Roy Hall will have a good career in the League. I think Stanton might be a good sleeper pick up if he goes to the right team. I like Matt Spaeth as a sleeper if you can call him one. In the later rounds I would even think it might be worth the risk to take a guy lack Matt Trannon.

Well, I think the biggest sleeper in this draft is Troy Smith. He's been nothing but critiqued since Jan. 8th but he has countless hours of good game film. I think he needs to work on his deep ball accuracy and the ever so important to the NFL, staying in the pocket. Granted Troy Smith did make his best plays after he had already left the pocket, but I think for him to be successful he needs to stay in the pocket as long as possible in the NFL because he is facing the most tremendous athletes with speed in the world. But with that being said, he really does have the talent to be a good QB in the NFL.
Another sleeper is LaMar Woodley. This guy is a big time talent and he probably won't be taken until the second round.
As far as busts I see Leon Hall and Alan Branch as guys projected to go really high and definitely flame out. I thought they were both extremely overrated during the regular season.
Oh and just a question, was that Hall that tried to tackle Robiskie when Troy Smith eluded Branch and made an amazing pass to Robiskie on the sideline and Robiskie ducked under the defender and had like a 30 yard run after catch? Because if it was, wow, why would you go so high on a guy if you are a sure fire NFL talent?

I like that the Dolphins just took Ginn in the top-10. All that 15 or later stuff made no sense to me at all...Ginn will not be a bust.

I actually think Calvin Johnson might be a bit of a bust...a workout warrior who is "okay" on the field.
