Kansas City Chiefs Rookies Forecast

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…

Cincinnati Bengals Rookies Forecast

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…

Buffalo Bills Rookies Forecast

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…

San Diego Chargers Rookies Forecast

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,…

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 11, 2013 Solid Starter Akeem Spence, DT, Illinois – Round 4 I wasn’t a fan of Spence as a prospect, but the Bucs like him so much that they are practically forcing him into the starting lineup as a rookie. Tampa Bay let veteran nose tackle Roy Miller leave…

Cleveland Browns Rookies Forecast

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…

Arizona Cardinals Rookies Forecast

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…

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. Quality right tackles could have been found on the second day of the 2013 NFL Draft or in free agency. If Jacksonville…

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. The running game also needed to improve its blocking at the point of attack, so taking…
