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 →

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 →

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 →
