Eric DeCosta has a few ‘sleeper’ players targeted in final 4 rounds of 2020 NFL Draft

As we enter the final day of the 2020 NFL Draft, many might think these remaining players just aren’t very good, which just isn’t true. While those remaining aren’t as polished as the players already taken or they might have a lower ceiling, plenty of gold can still be had in Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta specifically noted that he has some sleeper prospects still on the board. Those players are ones that other teams might not grade very highly but DeCosta and the Ravens feel like they can contribute or turn into something special.

While no general manager in their right mind would outright tell us which players they still have highly rated on their board, there are a bunch of prospects available that were expected to go on Day 2.

It’s worth noting that Baltimore has excelled at this area of the draft, finding players that might not necessarily start immediately but who turn into key contributors or stars down the line. Outside linebacker Matthew Judon (fifth round in 2016), cornerback Tavon Young (fourth round in 2016), cornerback Maurice Canady (sixth round in 2016), outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith (fourth round in 2015), running back Javorius Allen (fourth round in 2015), and tight end Nick Boyle (fifth round in 2015) are all recent examples of guys the Ravens found late.

Baltimore has three picks entering the final day of the draft and should be able to find some immediate depth with high upside down the line.
