The NFL Draft never dies, and now that we've had time to let the dust settle. I'm ready to put my name with some predictions. Let's start with the positive! I'm going to give you 6 draft picks that I think will end up being considered steals in a few years,
Nolan Smith (OLB, Georgia) - #31 Eagles
Smith has that "it factor", the natural physical gifts that scream success. He can hit another level of speed off the line that I think might top any other OLB in the draft. Smith comes in with a stellar reputation as a worker and effort player.
Joe Tippmann (C, Wisconsin) - #43 Jets
Tippman is tall, but keeps good leverage nontheless. He actually seems very versatile and mobile for a man of his height and stature. Tippmann looks very technically sound and rarely gets bulldogged at the line of scrimmage.
Chase Brown (RB, Illinois) - #163 Bengals
Chase Brown is a physical specimen. He just looks at acts and feels like an NFL football player. Brown has impressive combination of power, cuts and ability to hit a next level speed. I believe that he'll develop into a solid pass catcher out of the backfield as well.
Henry To'oTo'o (ILB, Alabama) - #167 Texans
Linebackers in general have seen their draft positions drop a bit. But let's be real, To'oTo'o is an early round upside in a 5th round pick. He has good hip movement that allows him to play the width of the field.
Andrew Vorhees (OG, USC) - #229 Ravens
This is a long term prediction as he tore his ACL at the combine, but that doesn't change the fact that I watched him dominate the line of scrimmage. He didn't just block, he flat out moved people. Vorhees was one of the most intimidating run blockers in the draft.
Kenny McIntosh (RB, Georgia) - #237 Seahawks
The Seahawks landed one of the most gifted running backs in the draft in the last round. His versatility makes him very valuable in today's game. McIntosh can come out of the back field, or slit out, and is a very skilled pass catcher,
