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

Anthony McClung, WR/KR/PR, Cincinnati

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

Jarvis Landry, WR, Louisiana State

Dolphins, Round 2. Was a junior. I was lower on Landry than most before the draft, ranking him as the 15th-best WR available. He went as the 12th WR. But being the 12th WR taken in this draft class is … Continue reading

Odell Beckham, Jr., WR/KR/PR, Louisiana State

Giants, Round 1. There was little surprise about where he went in the draft. He was generally considered the third-best WR in the draft and the Giants needed a WR to pair with Cruz and Randle. He also gives them … Continue reading

Ranking the RBs in the 2014 NFL Draft

Rankings are as of July 30, 2014. In fantasy leagues, the ideal running back is one who can do it all – be a workhorse runner, catch everything thrown to him, can block, isn’t taken off the field for third … Continue reading
