UDFA. Signed by the Panthers as a UDFA but was released in August. Was a junior. Positives: Though his bulk is on the low side, he’s compactly built. Above-average hands and can extend to catch passes away from his body. Keeps … Continue reading

Silas Redd, RB, Southern California

Redskins, UDFA. 2012 transfer from Penn State. Has enough running skills to stick on a roster or practice squad somewhere. His injury history is a little scary, though. Positives: Though his height and weight are slightly below-average, he has a … Continue reading

Tom Savage, QB, Pittsburgh

Texans, Round 4. Started career at Rutgers and then went to Arizona and the Pittsburgh. The hype machine didn’t get him to the Round 3 I had predicted for him, but he still went too high, in my opinion. For … Continue reading

Davante Adams, WR, Fresno State

Packers, Round 2. Was a sophomore. I fully expected him to go in Round 2 as around the eighth WR taken, and that’s where he went. I didn’t expect him to go to the Packers, though, but he has to be … Continue reading

Brelan Chancellor, WR/KR/PR, North Texas

UDFA. Signed by Chargers as UDFA but was released in August. I think he could be pretty successful in the NFL — for whatever team he ends up on — with a WR4 ceiling. Positives: Though small for the position, he … Continue reading

Texans, UDFA. Is probably at least sixth down the list on their WR depth chart, but he has enough skills to stick on some roster as a returner and part-time slot receiver. Positives: Runs with good speed and above-average acceleration. … Continue reading

Ryan Smith, WR/PR/KR, North Dakota State: FCS Division

Positives: Runs with above-average speed and quickness. Adequate acceleration off the line and after the catch. When running routes, he is fairly quick in and out of his breaks. Above-average hands and extends and adjusts fairly well to catch passes … Continue reading

Bruce Ellington, WR/KR, South Carolina

49ers, Round 4. Was a junior. Cousin of Andre Ellington, running back for the Cardinals. He went pretty much exactly where I expected him to, in the beginning of the 4th round. Good ball skills, athleticism and route running give … Continue reading

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
