By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss – Round 1 At times, Treadwell was projected to be a high first-round pick, but he slid to the 23rd-overall selection because of a lack of speed to separate. Treadwell ended up being the fourth wide receiver selected in the 2016 NFL Draft….

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA – Round 1 When the Packers won the Super Bowl in the 2010 season, they had B.J. Raji playing at the height of his game, and he was a real presence at the point of attack. In the years since then, Raji declined and…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Jonathan Bullard, DT, Florida – Round 3 The Bears have been reworking their defensive line since John Fox took over as head coach, and Bullard is the second second-day draft pick to be added up front. Many had Bullard projected to go a lot higher than the third…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State – Round 1 This was an easy pick as I think Decker will quickly be a solid starter for the Lions. Detroit needed tackle help to shore up its offensive line, and Decker was a rock for the Buckeyes across the past few…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Artie Burns, CB, Miami – Round 1 Burns was one of the surprise picks of the first round in the 2016 NFL Draft, and there were many complaints from Steelers fans. It was clear that Pittsburgh was reaching for a need. Other teams had second-round grades on Burns,…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Carl Nassib, DE, Penn State – Round 3 I think the Browns have a lot of mid-round and third-day picks who could turn into solid starters. Joe Schobert, Spencer Drango, Rashard Higgins and Scooby Wright all have potential to be steals in my opinion. I’m not a fan…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter William Jackson, CB, Houston – Round 1 Cincinnati was targeting a wide receiver in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, but they all went off the board before the Bengals were on the clock. They settled for Jackson to further strengthen their defensive backfield and also…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame – Round 1 The Ravens are already pushing Stanley into the starting left tackle job as they let Eugene Monroe go. Stanley (6-5, 312) is ready to play immediately after gaining good experience at Notre Dame. He has a developed body with the…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Daryl Worley, CB, West Virginia – Round 3 West Virginia fielded a very talented secondary in 2015 and Worley was the program’s feature corner. The 6-foot, 204-pounder has good size with length. He showed an ability to be a gritty and physical cover corner. Worley can compete with…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville – Round 1 The Saints have been awful on defense for years, and their pass defense, in particular, has been terrible. New Orleans needed to improve its ability to cover, but also had to get better at putting pressure on the quarterback. There was…
