Martavis Bryant, WR/KR, Clemson

Steelers, Round 4. Was a junior. He enters a WR corps as probably the fourth-best guy, but he provides the size and the red-zone target the team’s been trying to rediscover for years since Plaxico Burress left town the first time. … Continue reading

Devin Street, WR, Pittsburgh

Cowboys, Round 5. With his size, hands, and route-running ability, I’m a little surprised he went this late in the draft. It’s an OK situation for him, with only Dez Bryant definitely ahead of him. Terrance Williams is their other young, … Continue reading

Donte Moncrief, WR, Mississippi

Colts, Round 3. Was a junior. Rated as my 16th-best WR going in, he went 14th to the Colts. His combination of size, speed, hands, and effort are going to serve him well in catching passes from Andrew Luck. He should … Continue reading

Alfred Blue, RB/FB, Louisiana State

Texans, Round 6. Was a junior. I don’t see an NFL future for him, but he does fit better in Houston than at most other teams. But he’s behind Arian Foster, Dennis Johnson, and Ray Graham off the bat. Positives: Okay … Continue reading

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
