Brandin Cooks, WR/PR, Oregon State

Saints, Round 1. Was projected pretty universally to go in the late first round as the fourth receiver overall, and that’s where he went. It’s just that nobody expected his team to be the Saints. Probably becomes the second or … Continue reading

Jarvis Landry, WR, Louisiana State

Devonta Freeman, RB, Florida State

Falcons, Round 4. Was a junior. He went as the eighth running back overall when I had him as the 9th, expected to go a round later. But he lands in a place where nobody’s obviously ahead of him, and he … Continue reading

Jerome Smith, RB, Syracuse

UDFA. Signed by the Falcons as a UDFA but was released in August and put on their practice squad. Was a redshirt junior. Is a good combination of size, speed, agility, and elusiveness, which should give him a good chance … Continue reading

Prince-Tyson Gulley, RB, Syracuse

Positives: Runs with above-average speed and quickness. Has fairly quick feet and good balance making cuts. On slick surfaces, he can dig his foot into the ground and smoothly change direction. Runs with adequate power, and churns his legs through … Continue reading

Jordan Hall, RB/KR/PR, Ohio State

UDFA. Signed by the Steelers as UDFA in June but released in August. He probably doesn’t do anything well enough to be consistently successful in the NFL, and his injury history is a definite red flag. Positives: Experienced as both … Continue reading
