By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Ali Marpet, C, Hobart – Round 2 The Bucs felt so strongly about the Division III product Marpet that they traded back into the second round from the third round in order to make sure they acquired him. After taking Jameis Winston in the first round, it makes…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio State – Round 3 If the Broncos hadn’t changed to Gary Kubiak’s offense I probably wouldn’t pick Heuerman to become a solid starter. He isn’t an uber-athletic or fast receiving tight end like what Denver lost wit Julius Thomas. However in Kubiak’s offense, I…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Jaquiski Tartt, S, Samford – Round 2 The 49ers had a lot of success on defense for a few years when they were starting two strong safeties with Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner. Age and expensive contracts led to both leaving the franchise in free agency, but San…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Markus Golden, OLB, Missouri – Round 2 This was a tough choice between D.J. Humphries and Markus Golden. I could see either one becoming a quality starter or becoming a bust. Golden (6-2, 260) is a bit of tweener, and his skill set may not translate to the…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Mitch Morse, G, Missouri – Round 2 I know sources from a number of teams had Morse in the running for their picks on the second day of the 2015 NFL Draft. He didn’t receive a lot of attention in the lead-up to the 2015 NFL Draft, but…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami – Round 2 Many projections didn’t have Perryman getting to the Chargers’ second-round pick, and San Diego was fortunate to land him in the back half of Round 2. The Chargers needed to bolster the interior of their linebackers, and Perryman should form a…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Dante Fowler Jr., OLB, Florida – Round 1 Fowler’s rookie season was lost to a torn ACL, but that injury should not prevent him from becoming a very good starter in the NFL. A number of teams believed that Fowler was the best defensive prospect in the 2015…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Henry Anderson, DE, Stanford – Round 3 Indianapolis’ defense has been vulnerable on the ground and through the air the past few seasons. The Colts need to add play-makers and hard-nosed role players to the stop unit, and I believe that Anderson will prove to be the latter….

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Owa Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA – Round 3 Odighizuwa going to the Giants is a perfect fit. This fit reminds me of other similar players like Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora who the Giants used to help build their Super Bowl teams. New York needed some talent and flexibility…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Chaz Green, OT, Florida – Round 3 In my opinion, Green was one of the more underrated prospects in the 2015 NFL Draft. Florida left tackle D.J. Humphries was a first-round pick of the Cardinals, but if you asked a die-hard Gator fan who was the better college…
