Summary

Draft month means sleeper season, and Jagger May and Andrew Mott run through ten pre-draft names they’re planting flags on before Round 1. This list mixes fantasy-relevant late shots with a few defensive “bookmark it now” players, with the central theme being simple: traits, role pathways, and draft capital matter more than hype this time of year. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube The guys lead with Skyler Bell as a “real” sleeper with legit production and analytics signals, then pivot to tight end value with Eli Raridon, a versatile option who can block and stay on the field. At RB, Adam Randall is pitched as a converted wideout with third-down receiving upside, while Kevin Coleman Jr. and Antonio Williams are framed as slot-plus weapons with enough athletic traits to earn a role fast if the landing spot cooperates. On defense, Zion Young and Gabe Jacas get shouted out as edge names who could outplay their draft buzz, with the reminder that a “weak fantasy class” can still be loaded overall and push offensive sleepers down the board. The episode closes with tight end swings like Justin Joly and Marlin Klein as cheap, traits-based stashes that could pay off if an NFL staff unlocks them. Start Using the Film Room Today!

We are one step closer to the draft.

0:02.7

I keep saying that, but it's really, y'all, it's draft month.

0:05.1

And with that being said, let's go ahead and talk about 10 of our favorite sleepers before we head into round one.

0:13.0

As always, it's me, Jagger May.

0:14.6

That's Andrew Mott.

0:15.7

And we'll start off right away with Andrew's first sleeper, Skylar Bell, wide receiver, Yukon. You and I have talked about

0:22.5

him a little bit. The production, very few have that out of him. His route running, I've looked at

0:28.5

the tape as well. Very, very silky, smooth. He's someone I could see getting drafted, and if you're

0:35.3

in fantasy, someone that I would draft myself as far as like the actual

0:39.4

sleeper and i think that's kind of why he's at the top of the list he's very real he's not just someone

0:44.5

who's like funny money and we're dynasty bros throwing someone out there the production's legit

0:49.5

the film looks all right what's your sales pitch yeah Yeah, I mean, legitimately, this is probably the

0:55.0

least sleeper-like sleeper on my list. And maybe that's just to me because I would not be

1:00.1

shocked if a team did see enough out of his profile to like him for a round three pick and he

1:05.4

sneaks into day two. If he doesn't, you know, I think he is more on the fringe where he could

1:09.8

be a day three guy,

1:15.4

probably early day three. But you're right. The production with him has been very, very good,

1:22.1

especially if you look at 2025 when he's there at Yukon, 101 receptions, 1,278 yards, and 13 touchdowns, just not a lot of guys that go out and give you 1,13 touchdowns on a college season.

1:27.0

So that alone is

1:28.2

interesting. Obviously started a little bit slow. He started to Wisconsin, hit the transfer portal, ended up going to Yukon, and then he goes out and has that great year. To me, it's the advanced analytics. You know, the film, it speaks for itself. I think you said it. He's silky smooth. He's good after the catch. He's a nice little slot-wide receiver that I think can play some Z as well in

1:46.6

the right system. But the advanced analytics for him are what make him stand out. Because if you look at NFL average wide receiver ones, what were their advanced analytics coming out of college? He checks the marks on a lot of these. The dominator rating, it's great. Passes with green. Receiving share, he had a 33% receiving share at Yukon in 2025. Great numbers for him. The receiving yardage percentage. He counted for 35% of Yukon's receiving yards last year and the receiving touchdowns is the best of all of them. There's 43% of their receiving touchdown

2:18.2

went to Skyler Bell. The only thing you can look at for him is the breakout age. The breakout age
