Houston Texans Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Louis Nix, Notre Dame, DT – Round 3 Nix could get consideration for the boom pick as well. Over the past three seasons, he was been one of the best run-stuffing defensive tackles in college football. In 2012 Manti Te’o got all the attention, but Nix ate up…

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.

Cleveland Browns Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Danny Shelton, DT, Washington – Round 1 In the 2015 NFL Draft, Shelton was one of the safest picks.

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State – Round 2 Heading into the 2015 NFL Draft, most of the projections had Goldman going in the first round.

Indianapolis Colts Rookies Forecast

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….
