San Diego Chargers Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami – Round 2 Many projections didn’t have Perryman getting to the Chargers’ second-round pick, and San Diego was fortunate to land him in the back half of Round 2. The Chargers needed to bolster the interior of their linebackers, and Perryman should form a…

Kansas City Chiefs Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Mitch Morse, G, Missouri – Round 2 I know sources from a number of teams had Morse in the running for their picks on the second day of the 2015 NFL Draft. He didn’t receive a lot of attention in the lead-up to the 2015 NFL Draft, but…

Arizona Cardinals Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Markus Golden, OLB, Missouri – Round 2 This was a tough choice between D.J. Humphries and Markus Golden. I could see either one becoming a quality starter or becoming a bust. Golden (6-2, 260) is a bit of tweener, and his skill set may not translate to the…

Miami Dolphins Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville – Round 1 The Dolphins traded Mike Wallace in the offseason and have a solid, but unspectacular, stable of receivers for Ryan Tannehill.

St. Louis Rams Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Jamon Brown, G, Louisville – Round 3 Todd Gurley was really the only draft pick of the Rams who I really liked, but I have to pick a player for this spot. Of the franchise’s other picks, I feel the best about Brown turning into a quality starter…

New England Patriots Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Tre Jackson, G, Florida – Round 4 I had Jackson mocked to the Patriots for a long time because they had showed a lot of interest in him, plus he was a great fit for them. Sources said that while Jackson isn’t flashy, you know what you are…

Detroit Lions Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Laken Tomlinson, G, Duke – Round 1 The Lions surprised many when they took Tomlinson in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Most teams had him graded for the second day, so Tomlinson going on Day 1 was a bit of a reach. Detroit had a…
