If you go with the latter bench allotment, you’re looking at 16 roster spots and 192 draft picks. By that definition, any sleeper should have an average draft position of about 180 or lower.
 
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith sports an ADP of 185, which means, on average, he’s the fifth pick of the 16th round. He has the 24th highest ADP of any quarterback, behind the likes of Josh Freeman, Matt Cassel, and Kyle Orton.
