By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota – Round 2 The Giants entered the draft with a vacancy at center, and they landed a potential plug-and-play starter with Schmitz. While some rookies need time to develop, Schmitz looks like a player with the capacity to start immediately in the NFL…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter DeMarvion Overshown, OLB, Texas – Round 3 The Cowboys have taken some talented linebackers in the mid-rounds in each of the past three drafts. Dallas landed good values in Damone Clark and Jabrill Cox in previous years, and continued that trend with Overshown in 2023. The team re-signed…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Tyler Steen, OL, Alabama – Round 3 The Eagles landed a steal with Steen in the third round.

Veteran edge rusher Matt Judon turns 31 during training camp and is entering the final two years of his contract with New England. Across from Judon, young veteran Josh Uche…

Immediately, Smith could help form a nice trio with Ramsey and Xavien…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter O’Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida – Round 2 In my final mock draft, I had the Bills taking Torrence, albeit in the first round, so landing Torrence in the second round was a good value selection for them. Buffalo wanted to add some size and toughness to its offensive…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Gervon Dexter Sr., DT, Florida – Round 2 The Bears needed some youth for the inside of their defensive line, and Dexter was a late-riser in the draft process across a number of teams. While Dexter was streaky in college, he flashed some big-time ability and definitely has…
