San Francisco 49ers Rookies Forecast

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.

Denver Broncos Rookies Forecast

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.

Miami Dolphins Rookies Forecast
