Shaquelle Evans, WR/PR, UCLA

Jets, Round 4. Transferred from Notre Dame in 2010. He gets drafted by the same team that had drafted Jalen Saunders a few picks earlier, but I think Evans has a lot more potential in the NFL and on the … Continue reading

Lorenzo Taliaferro, RB/FB, Coastal Carolina: FCS Division

Ravens, Round 4. As with tight ends, when the Ravens draft a running back, you need to pay attention. Taliaferro is a very solid back who is probably even at the level of Bernard Pierce. With Ray Rice’s uncertain future and … Continue reading

Crockett Gillmore, TE, Colorado State

Ravens, Round 3. Any tight end who goes to the Ravens, you should expect to do well. Even though Gillmore went much earlier than I expected – I had four tight ends ranked ahead of him at the time – … Continue reading

Andre Williams, RB, Boston College

Giants, Round 4. He went a little later than I expected, but he lands in an obviously great situation — the Giants — for any running back, even though he’s behind Rashad Jennings and Peyton Hillis (and maybe David Wilson). … Continue reading

Cody Hoffman, WR, Brigham Young

UDFA. Was signed by the Washington team as a UDFA but released in August. He should eventually be a contributor on some team. All-Star Games: Senior Bowl. Positives: Great height and good bulk – almost H-back size. Adequate speed. Above-average … Continue reading

Jay Prosch, FB, Auburn

Texans, Round 6. Transferred from Illinois in 2012. He was drafted to be a blocker – pure and simple. So there’s no fantasy value here. All-Star Games: Senior Bowl. Positives: Very good height and great bulk for a fullback. Solid run … Continue reading

Kevin Norwood, WR, Alabama

Seahawks, Round 4. Before the draft, he was my number six-rated WR, and he goes to the team that, though the offense is efficient, it’s not explosive. And that pretty much sums up Norwood’s game, too. He’s a guy that will … Continue reading

David Fales, QB, San Jose State

Bears, Round 6. Transferred from Nevada to community college to Wyoming to San Jose State. I see him as the third QB on the roster, ahead of Jordan Palmer but behind Jimmy Clausen. His short and medium accuracy are good enough for … Continue reading

Stephen Morris, QB, Miami

UDFA. Was signed by the Jaguars as a UDFA but released in August. He doesn’t seem physically talented enough as a passer to be successful in the NFL – except as a backup. Would be better in a system that takes … Continue reading

Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State

Raiders, Round 2. Before the draft, I projected him to go late in Round 1, but put a 3rd-round grade on him. Split the difference and we get the Raiders in Round 2. He definitely has NFL arm strength, and can … Continue reading
