Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M

Browns, Round 1. Was a redshirt sophomore. In the draft, he could have gone anywhere from number one to number 62, probably. In most drafts, I would have viewed him as a 3rd-round pick, but, with the premium placed on the … Continue reading

Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida

Jaguars, Round 1. Redshirt junior. Positives: Great height and bulk for the position. Adequate hand size. Average track speed. Adequate vertical leap and 3-cone drill. Above-average lateral quickness. Ran a versatile pro-style system in college with some spread elements, so he … Continue reading

Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville

Vikings, Round 1. Was a junior. Though he should have been one of the first few players off the board, he lasted until the last pick in Round 1. He goes to a Vikings team with a little talent on offense, … Continue reading

Michael Campanaro, WR, Wake Forest

Ravens, Round 7. Enters WR corps as probably the fourth-best guy, but I think he has the athleticism and hands to be able to develop into a solid slot or outside receiver. All-Star Games: Senior Bowl. Positives: Adequate bulk for … Continue reading

Charles Sims, RB/KR, West Virginia

Buccaneers, Round 3. Transferred from Houston in 2013. I’m a fan of his – but more as a receiver than as a running back. He’s not built to be an every-down back in the NFL and his talents aren’t well-rounded … Continue reading

Antonio Andrews, RB/KR/PR, Western Kentucky

UDFA. Was signed by the Titans as a UDFA but was released in August and put on their practice squad. I see him as having too many negative traits to stick in the NFL, anyway. All-Star Games: Senior Bowl. Positives: … Continue reading

Jacob Pedersen, TE, Wisconsin

UDFA. Was signed by the Falcons as a UDFA but released in August  Has enough of a combination of blocking and receiving talent that he could stick on a roster. All-Star Games: Senior Bowl. Positives: Adequate height and bulk for an … Continue reading

Jared Abbrederis, WR/PR, Wisconsin

Packers, Round 5. Of the receivers left on my board at the time he was drafted, he was fourth. So, as usual, the Packers get good value whenever they draft. His concussion history is a little scary, but he’ll be a … Continue reading

James White, RB, Wisconsin

Patriots, Round 4. He goes to a Patriots team with maybe Vereen and Ridley ahead of him, but he has as much talent as either of them. With his receiving and pass-blocking skills, I especially like his chances of being … Continue reading

Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt

Eagles, Round 2. Vanderbilt: Jerry Rice’s cousin. Before the draft, I rated Matthews as my number-5 overall WR, and expected him to go in Round 2. Ends up drafted as the sixth WR, but about where I thought he’d go. … Continue reading
