By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 3, 2013 Solid Starter Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State – Round 2 The 49ers landed a nice value selection in Carradine. If he hadn’t torn his ACL in November, he easily could have been a first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. There were times where last season when…

This section will feature a review of all the teams’ rookies, including which ones are most likely to bust and surprise. This is written by Charlie Campbell (@draftcampbell). NFC East: Dallas Cowboys – 7/14 New York Giants – 7/13 Philadelphia Eagles – 7/15 Washington Redskins – 7/12 AFC East: Buffalo Bills – 7/11 Miami Dolphins…

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.

Arizona actually needed two linebackers with Washington getting slapped with a suspension to open this season. Arizona landed one with Minter and signed former…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell June 14, 2013 Solid Starter Jonathan Bostic, ILB, Florida – Round 2 The Bears are one of the storied franchises in the NFL, and Chicago has been known for great middle linebackers with the likes of Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary and Brian Urlacher. With Urlacher retiring, the team had a…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 17, 2013 Solid Starter Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina – Round 1 The Broncos have had problems on the inside of their defensive line the past few seasons and Williams could make a quick impact for Denver. He has good size to play the run with the quickness to…

Fisher was thought to be the…
