[wysija_form id=”1″]David Cobb
He is one of the more physical runners coming out of this years draft. He punishing running style will be something to behold. He has the ability to explode through the A and B Gaps.
Once he gets to the 2nd level of defenses, he has enough break away speed to turn out some big plays. Bishop Sankey won’t be able to keep him on the sidelines. He is clearly the most talented back on the Titans roster.
Melvin Gordon
He should be the man from day 1, he should have one of the biggest workloads of the rookies in the NFL in 2015. He has that rate speed that comes into the NFL every once in a while.
He had crazy first step quickness that’s gonna give defenses head aches. He is so explosive he can score from anywhere. He is a physical blocker, with excellent Vision and Balance.
Now he does have to make some improvements. He needs to better learn to Diagnose his blocks. From watching tape you can see every once in a while he blocks the wrong guy. His hands aren’t where they need to be, he can be a better receiver.
T.J Yeldon
He has some of the quickest feet of all the rookie RBs. He has very good vision, he is one of the smoother runners can weave his way through defenses.
He brings a lot of upside to the table. His running style can wear down defenses. He is also one of the better receiving backs coming into the NFL.

He is looking a little over weight, you have to think that’s gonna cut into his speed. He is constantly banged up, so he brings durability concerns. You also have to worry about the toll his body has taken at Alabama. They ran him into the ground the last 3 years.
Tevin Coleman
He could be the most explosive back coming out of the draft. He has big play ability reflected in his 7.1 YPC. He has some very high upside, he is built nice and sturdy. His running style is perfect for taking away defenses tackling angles.
He may not get slot of yards after contact at the NFL level, he usually goes down at first hit. He brings some concerns as far as durability is concerned. Also keep in mind he is gonna have a tough battle with Devonta Freeman for the job.
Amari Cooper
He will step in as a day one starter opposite of Michael Crabtree. Some people wanna make a fuss because he is a little short for a WR. It is a big mans would but innate talent should compensate for that.
He is a great route runner and also brings game breaking speed to the table. Also his release from the line should be amongst the fastest in the NFL.
An expert at finding the soft spots in defenses coupled with phenom level athletic ability, should make him very had to defend.

Kevin White
This is another guy stepping into a day one starting role. He is a big time playmaker down field. An excellent fit for Jay Cutlers big arm. He is the type of receiver that is always open because of his massive frame.
He knows how to get up and attack the football. He should give defenses headaches in the redzone. It will be fun to watch him running over little defensive backs at a minimum.
Nelson Agholar
He is a great route runner, he is very polished and quick. He knows how to get separation and is going to be a weapon on 3rd downs. Now he does need to work on his hands if he wants to truly make an impact. Way too many dropped passes at U.S.C
Devin Funchess
The first thing we see when we see him is a huge frame and wide catch radius. He can line up from any position, so you can expect the Panthers to move him around and find mismatches.
