Indianapolis Colts Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 28, 2013 Solid Starter Hugh Thornton, G, Illinois – Round 3 The Colts had to improve their offensive line this offseason to better protect Andrew Luck.

New York Jets Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 22, 2013 Solid Starter Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama – Round 1 It isn’t fair to expect Milliner to be the next Darrelle Revis even though Milliner was definitely the best cornerback prospect in the 2013 draft class. From a salary cap perspective and rebuilding the Jets’ roster, Milliner made…

Jacksonville Jaguars Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 28, 2013 Solid Starter Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M – Round 1 I’m not a fan of the Jaguars taking a right tackle with the second-overall pick.

New York Giants Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 5, 2013 Solid Starter Justin Pugh, G, Syracuse – Round 1 The Giants had to get some young talent on their offensive line as Eli Manning was under too much pressure last season.

New England Patriots Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 21, 2013 Solid Starter Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers – Round 3 The Patriots have made it a habit to draft defensive backs early and often in recent years. Ryan was one of the better cover corners in college football in 2012 and did well playing on an island. He…

Seattle Seahawks Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 3, 2013 Solid Starter Chris Harper, WR, Kansas State – Round 4 The Seahawks traded their first-round pick of the 2013 NFL Draft for Percy Harvin, and if you include him in their draft selections, you could, in these predictions, consider him as the solid starter or boom pick….

Carolina Panthers Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 10, 2013 Solid Starter Kawann Short, DT, Purdue – Round 2 I really liked how new general manager Dave Gettleman doubled up at defensive tackle.

Baltimore Ravens Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 29, 2013 Solid Starter Arthur Brown, ILB, Kansas State – Round 2 The Ravens taking Brown reminds me of Neal Anderson following Walter Payton with the Bears.
