News: Florida International safety Jonathan Cyprien was a second-round pick of the Jaguars in the NFL draft. The 6-foot, 217-pound safety is known for his hard hits and work as a two-deep defender in college. In four seasons Cyprien racked up 365 total tackles, six interceptions, a sack, and 28 passes defensed.
Analysis: Cyprien's one of our favorite Fantasy sleepers because he's got the potential to start right away and rack up the tackles. Aggressive safeties like Cyprien tend to be very productive and that should be the case in Jacksonville. There could be some growing pains as he's a big hitter from a small conference coming to the NFL but in time he should be strong. Assuming he lands the starting role Cyprien should be drafted as a No. 3 DB with a middle- to late-round pick in seasonal leagues. He's about the same in dynasty/keeper leagues and is an early-round choice in rookie-only drafts.
