Dallas Cowboys Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame – Round 1 While Dallas has had some bad drafts in recent years with some dubious decision-making, Martin was a very solid pick for the Cowboys.

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Deone Bucannon, S Washington State – Round 1 Don’t be all that surprising if Bucannon becomes a solid starter for Arizona as soon as his rookie season.

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Marcus Smith, OLB, Louisville – Round 1 The Eagles’ draft overall was very solid.

Green Bay Packers Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter HaHa Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama – Round 1 The Packers had too many busted coverages in the middle of the field in 2013 and needed to get faster on the defensive side of the ball.

Washington Redskins Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Trent Murphy, OLB, Stanford – Round 2 There were a lot of critics of the Murphy pick, but I think anyone who watched a lot of college football over the past two seasons wouldn’t be very negative regarding the selection.
