Anyway, the rundown:
Amari Cooper, I predicted first round, Raiders
Got that one right at No. 4 overall
Landon Collins, predicted late first round, Eagles
After he slid out of the first round the Giants traded up to make him the first pick of the second round, the same spot DeMeco Ryans went (Wow - was that really 2006?). Now he gets to terrorize the Eagles for not taking him, which probably cost Collins about $1.5 million, but long-term the Giants could be be a much better fit.
T.J. Yeldon, predicted late second round, Cowboys
The Jaguars jumped up and took him with the fourth selection of the second round. He'll challenge Toby Gerhart, the guy Mark Ingram Jr. beat out for the 2009 Heisman Trophy, for the starting job.
Arie Kouandjio, predicted fourth round, Texans
Went fourth round to the Redskins and gets to play close to home. Bet he's thrilled.
Jalston Fowler, predicted fourth round, Titans
That's exactly when and where he went.
Xzavier Dickson, predicted fifth round, Jaguars
Dropped all the way to the seventh round where the Patriots snared him to provide some competition. One thing that works to his advantage is he pretty much knows the defense already. Austin Shepherd, predicted sixth round, Packers
Right division, wrong team as he went in the seventh round to the Vikings. He's the only Crimson Tide player on the roster.
DeAndrew White, predicted sixth round, Buccaneers
Wasn't drafted, signed as a free agent with San Francisco, which needed some wide receiver help and only selected Georgia Tech's DeAndre Smelter.
Also signed free-agent deals ...
Trey DePriest, LB, Ravens
Brandon Ivory, DT, Texans
Christion Jones, WR, Dolphins
Nick Perry, S, Ravens
Blake Sims, QB, Will try out with Packers
Brian Vogler, TE, Bears
Good luck to them all ...
P.S. The linebacker from Harvard, Zack Hodges, went underrated and signed a free-agent deal with the Colts.
