Who are the sleeper picks of the 2016 NFL Draft

Roosevelt Brown was passed over 320 times in the 1953 NFL Draft before the Giants selected the offensive tackle in the 27th round.

Nine Pro Bowls, eight consecutive All-NFL selections, six NFL championship game appearances and one title later, the Hall of Famer is regarded as one of the biggest steals in draft history.
