Jeremy Hill, RB, Louisiana State

Bengals, Round 2. Was a redshirt sophomore. He went a little earlier than I thought he would (Round 3). But I thought he would slide because of character concerns. Character concerns are no concern of the Bengals, as they usually … Continue reading

Dri Archer, WR/RB/KR, Kent State

Steelers, Round 3. He went much earlier than I expected, going in Round 3 when I expected Round 5. With his size and durability concerns, it’s hard for me to see him as a fit at running back in the … Continue reading

Colts, UDFA. There’s definitely a place for him in the NFL as the power-running component of a committee – maybe more if he improves some of his flaws. On the Colts, he would be the fourth RB behind Richardson, Ballard, and … Continue reading
