Have you already done your dynasty league rookie draft?

If not, you may want to pay attention to some of these potential sleeper picks so that you can get a leg up on your competition. If you have already done your draft, hopefully, you were able to get at least one of these players or could possibly concoct a trade idea for one of them.

Dynasty league drafts, especially once the league is established, are a blast. Depending on how many rounds you have in your rookie draft, you can often find players who will contribute for you at some point. Many players feel that only a couple of rounds are needed for a rookie draft, but I say hogwash to that.

Deep drafts in huge leagues that leave the waiver wire scarce are a fun challenge. In those leagues, you will take a look at just about any player. That's the fun of it, right? Also, in dynasty, you're playing the long game.

If you take one of these guys and he turns into a good or great fantasy option down the road, it can bring quite the prize to your squad.

Here are five guys you should look at in later rounds of your rookie draft this year.

Cedric Tillman, WR, Cleveland Browns

A third-round pick in this year's draft, Cedric Tillman looks nice in Cleveland thus far. In parts of three preseason games, he has caught six passes for 92 yards.

He is a big target at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds and he comes from an NFL background as his father played in the league for four seasons.

In Cleveland, he is going to get his chance. Ahead of him on the depth chart the Browns have Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Elijah Moore, who seems to be a true boom-or-bust candidate. After that comes Tillman.

Tillman knows how to get open and he knows how to find the end zone. In his junior year at Tennessee, he caught 12 touchdown passes.

He's not going to be taken in the first or second round of most rookie drafts in dynasty leagues, unless someone really likes him, so you could do yourself a favor by grabbing him in the third round. This is a pick that will pay off.
