ANALYSIS: Denver made a smart choice
to trade up in the first round to acquire DFD #1 ranked QB Paxton Lynch. Lynch
possesses all of the physical tools needed to play the position in the NFL. He
may need a season to transition, but after that, the sky is the limit. Devontae
Booker, when healthy, is the best back on this roster. Justin Simmons is a
rangy safety that has the chance to be a starter down the road. I am sure they
see something in 2nd round pick Adam Gotsis, but I did not have a
draftable grade on him. He was one of four selections that I did not see
getting drafted. Undrafted WR Bralon Addison has a chance to make it as a
return man. The Broncos draft ranked #26 in the league this year according to
the DFD value board.

ANALYSIS: Kansas City did a whole
lot of reaching. Chris Jones should start this season at the 5-tech spot. He
has pass rush upside. KeiVarae Russell is a solid corner prospect. Parker
Ehinger was undersized for most of college career, He will need to maintain
weight to have success. Demarcus Robinson was in trouble at Florida on at least
four occasions. He has second round skills with an undrafted character. At
least he didn’t beat his pregnant girlfriend like 5th round pick
Tyreek Hill. Hill was arrested in December 2014 for that act and was subsequently
kicked out of Oklahoma State. He landed at D-II West Alabama. Kevin Hogan is a
heady QB who lacks big time arm strength. Dadi Nicolas has a chance to contribute
as a pass rusher. The Chiefs draft ranked #31 in the league this year according
to the DFD value board.

ANALYSIS: Oakland reached in the
first couple of rounds, but got great value later. Karl Joseph is a rangy
safety who will lay the hammer down. He is coming off a knee injury, which is
why his ranking is a little lower. Jihad Ward is a big strong defensive end,
who will probably kick inside on third down. He never really produced at
Illinois, but he had a good Senior Bowl week. Shilique Calhoun however produced
a great deal at MSU. I think Oakland is going to try to stand him up, but he is
better suited with his hand in the dirt. Connor Cook slipped from being a
potential 1st round pick to pick 100. Cook was very good in is
Spartan career, but passed on playing in the Senior Bowl. Teams also questioned
why he wasn’t a team captain. He has a chance to develop as a backup QB, with
potential to perhaps be traded for a better draft pick down the road. DeAndre
Washington is a shifty change of pace back. He can also help in the passing
game. I had a high second round grade on Vadal Alexander. He has played tackle
and guard at LSU, and is a road grader. He can back up 4 of the 5 positions on
the offensive line. I also think Denver Kirkland can make it as a reserve
lineman. The Raiders draft ranked #4 in the league this year according to the
DFD value board.

ANALYSIS: San Diego surprised
everyone on draft day when they selected Joey Bosa with the 3rd
pick. It looks like he will start at OLB for the time being. Hunter Henry was
considered by most to be the #1 TE prospect in this draft (#2 for me). He will
be the heir apparent to Antonio Gates. Max Tuerk will battle for the starting
center job with Chris Wells. Josh Perry will help on special teams from day one
and can back up all four LB spots. Jatavis Brown is an undersized backer who
plays like a mad man. He is at the very least a special teams upgrade. I like
the potential to develop down the road for undrafted OT Tyler Johnstone. The Chargers
draft ranked #14 in the league this year according to the DFD value board.
