I originally wrote this a few months ago, basically right after the NFL draft. These are a couple of my random thoughts about some of the players drafted that I recognized. Not a ton of insight, but I figured that I could do it anyways. For a decent portion of the players whom I have listed, I have thought that they were decent players in college and also have a decent chance to make it in the NFL. There were also a large handful of teams that did not draft players whom I really recognized.
Arizona Cardinals I think Arizona had a fairly good draft, Jonathan Cooper, Tyrann Mathieu, Andre Ellington, and Ryan Swope.
Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens
Buffalo Bills Jeff Tuel and EJ Manuel. Not really thrilled with this pick.. Manuel is a very tough guy, but I just don't think he's going to be as decent as most other QB's. Very low potential to be a top 16 type quarterback, much less top 5.
Carolina Panthers A.J. Klein
Chicago Bears Michael Ford
Cincinnati Bengals Onterrio McCaleb, Tyler Eifert. For whatever reason they now have two very decent TE's.
Cleveland Browns Barkevious Mingo
Dallas Cowboys Terrence Williams and Joseph Randolph
Denver Broncos Montee Ball
Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers A lot of good picks for the Packers: Eddie Lacy, Micah Hyde, and Jonathan Franklin.
Houston Texans Collin Kleind
Indianapolis Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars Luke Joeckel, Denard Robinson, Jordan Rodgers, Matt Scott. Any of those three rookie QB's would probably be a better option than Blaine Gabbert.
Kansas City Chiefs Tyler Bray
Miami Dolphins Caleb Sturgis
Minnesota Vikings Zach Line, James Vandenberg
New England Patriots
New Orleans Saints
New York Giants Ryan Nassib. He does a good job of taking care of the ball, although he was playing in a somewhat weak conference.
New York Jets Geno Smith. His college numbers last season were quite impressive. I think Smith has a chance to be a Drew Brees Lite.
Oakland Raiders Tyler Wilson, I think that he could be a very decent QB 3 years from now.
Philadelphia Eagles Zach Ertz TE from Stanford and Matt Barkley. Interesting that the Eagles were drafting so many players that used to play against Coach Kelly and the Ducks when he was at Oregon. Stanford, Oregon State, USC. So the Eagles were able to draft Barkley in the 4th round? Haha, Barkley was a projected top 5 pick just a year ago. Tremendous value pick for the Eagles here. His stats did go 'down' last season, but that was because he was asked to do a lot more, because the team was lacking a competent running game. I think that Barkley will have a decent NFL career.
Pittsburgh Steelers Jarvis Jones, Le'Veon Bell and Markus Wheaton
Saint Louis Rams Barret Jones, Alec Ogletree and Tavon Austin
San Diego Chargers Manti Te'o
San Francisco 49ers MarQueis Gray, Eric Reid from LSU, and Marcus Lattimore. Decent draft for the 49er's. I don't understand why Lattimore was drafted so lowly in the draft.
Seattle Seahawks
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tennessee Titans Chance Warmack
Washington Redskins Jordan Reed
