    One of these two guys:

    Terrance West or Tyler Gaffney.

    Would be a grrrreat pick in the third round.

    A cooler pick in the fourth, but they could be gone,

    depends on the combine results.

    West will be a late round pick and Gaffney may go undrafted. Gaffney would be a great pick up as an UDFA. Played in a zone blocking scheme.

    We'll see after the combine.

    Depending on the combine results, he may very well be a 4th rounder. We'll see.

    I like West better than the taller Gaffney.

    Draft Projection

    Terrance West was a dominant back at the FCS level, but has shown the ability to run the football against FBS programs and should be able to be an effective back in the NFL. His combination of size, speed and power is dangerous if he can get consistent with his pad level and keep a low center of gravity. He will block and can catch the ball, so he should be able to contribute immediately with the potential to get better with time and development in the NFL. West projects as a fringe top 100 player that could slip into day two, but is a good value early in the fourth round.

  • The guy I like is RB Andre Williams from BC.

    He runs like a drunk dad playing tackle football in the back yard with his kids, just runs them over like an asshole.

    all of that guys reel is trucking over secondary guys. There was like one LB'er that bulled through. He's got long strides too...not sure if that's gonna work in the NFL where you have to get through holes alot quicker than you get away with in college. From those highlights...his offensive line does a great job of getting him untouched into the secondary where yes, he absolutely cage rapes little DB's. Admittedly i didn't watch a single BC game...but I did watch Hyde work all season against some of the best LB'ers in the country. I'm more impressed with Hyde making a couple yds after contact regularly with the big front 7 guys hanging all over him than I am with this Williams kid snotbubbling some little dude's who clearly were not taught how to tackle men much larger than themselves.

    was fun to watch though....that stiffarm he hit that kid with was just misdemeanor assault. He should get probation for that....lols.

    Storm Johnson, RB, Central Florida

    saw this kid a couple of days ago on NFL network. he did some mock drills that they do at the combine and he did really good in studio on the spot (broad jump, vertical and something else i forget) but at the end of the segment they asked him some questions and one of them was what team would he like to play for and of course he said he'd be grateful to play with any of the 32 teams (PC agent-coached answer) but the guys pressed him and he finally said "the MFing cleveland browns, YO." (paraphrasing a little there).

    he's projected to go in the sixth and he lacks sprinter speed but someone to look at anyways because (i know this doesn't mean a lot #'s-wise) when has the last time you've heard a player pre-draft say he'd want to come to cleveland of all places?

    and where he is projected is just where a shanahan would find that diamond in the rough type guy.

    he had 3 tds and a 6.1 ypc avg. in the fiesta bowl, which was no defensive battle for sure, but the 2013 season did a lot for both bortles and this kid who transferred from miami (the U).

    watch the 58 yd td run vs. PENN STATE he's got mad balance and vision.

    I watched a few UCF games live. Johnson is no joke.

    Yes, Storm would be the guy over the two guys I mentioned. I believe

    that he may be gone in the late 2nd, or early in the third, before the Browns

    ever have a chance at him with their second pick in the third. It all depends on the combine. It's possible West is

    there in the fifth and sixth. Who knows? But Storm won't be. If he's fast at the combine,

    you watch teams clamber after him. There aren't that many big backs in the draft.

    Yes, but if he shows greater speed at the combine, some team that only has

    one desperate need, like maybe the ratbirds?

    will jump at drafting him or West far earlier than projected, if he's the guy they want. My projections

    are just stupid guesses, ya know...lol

    After the combine workouts, including extensive interviews, it will be interesting to see how these projections

    are wrong, a lot, perhaps, like mock drafts are mostly all wrong.

    yep, it happens every year. and then all you need is kiper or mcshay to say something positive about the kid and all of a sudden they jump up 2 rounds.

    I've liked him for awhile. Let's get him especially if he wants to be on the browns.

    Hyde pulled up lame at the combine, looks like we should stay away from that.

    Dri Archer will be a kick returner and that is all at the NFL level. Too small.
