By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 31, 2013 Solid Starter Leon McFadden, CB, San Diego State – Round 3 I’m cheating a little bit here because the 5-foot-9 McFadden looks like his long-term spot will be as a nickel corner. However, teams are using their nickel packages as much as any other personnel group, so…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 4, 2013 Solid Starter Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU – Round 2 The Cardinals needed a new starter next to Daryl Washington for their 3-4 defense. Arizona actually needed two linebackers with Washington getting slapped with a suspension to open this season. Arizona landed one with Minter and signed former…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 14, 2013 Solid Starter Jonathan Bostic, ILB, Florida – Round 2 The Bears are one of the storied franchises in the NFL, and Chicago has been known for great middle linebackers with the likes of Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary and Brian Urlacher. With Urlacher retiring, the team had a…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 17, 2013 Solid Starter Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina – Round 1 The Broncos have had problems on the inside of their defensive line the past few seasons and Williams could make a quick impact for Denver. He has good size to play the run with the quickness to…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 20, 2013 Solid Starter Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan – Round 1 The late change from Luke Joeckel to Fisher is questionable in some ways, but either player was considered to be an extremely safe pick to pan out at the next level. Fisher was thought to be the…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 29, 2013 Solid Starter Tyler Eifert, TE, Norte Dame – Round 1 The Bengals have starting tight end Jermaine Gresham signed for two more seasons at a reasonable price, so Eifert shouldn’t replace Gresham as a starter unless the veteran gets injured. However, Cincinnati plans on doing a ton…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 26, 2013 Solid Starter Robert Woods, WR, USC – Round 2 The Bills had a risky draft class this year (general manager Buddy Nix last draft before his resignation), but Woods was may be the safest pick among them. That is saying something considering how regularly wide receivers from…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 28, 2013 Solid Starter Manti Te’o, MLB, Illinois – Round 2 Te’o may never be a stud inside linebacker in the NFL, but I think he will turn into a solid pro. Te’o isn’t overly fast or physical, so he doesn’t have the natural athletic ability to dominate. However,…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 7, 2013 Solid Starter Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford – Round 2 The Eagles wanted to build up a stable of tight ends this offseason and Ertz looks like the eventual long-term starter. Either free agent addition James Casey or veteran Brent Celek may be the immediate starter in 2013,…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 14, 2013 Solid Starter Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi State – Round 2 The Lions have had a lot of problems at cornerback for years. The team was able to retain its one solid cornerback, Chris Houston, this sesaon, but still had a big hole on the other side from…
