2016 NFL Draft: Biggest Steals, Surprises and Stories

After three days and 253 picks, the 2016 NFL draft is done.

Months of speculation and mock drafts gave way to the real thing in Chicago. It started off just like everyone expected, with a pair of quarterbacks being selected at the top of the draft.

Then, as happens every year, it didn't take long for the draft to go off script. Starting with the San Diego Chargers at No. 3, there were no shortage of surprises. And of course, for every player who surprises, there's another who drops. A potential value to be had.

There were also storylines galore. There were the sagas of Myles Jack and Jaylon Smith, a pair of injured prospects with top-10 potential who fell to Day 2. Connor Cook got roasted. Laremy Tunsil got smoked. And the entire Ohio State Buckeyes 2015 roster was drafted.

OK, not everyone. Just 12 of them.

As the dust settles and pundits far and wide get ready to hand out report cards, here's a look back at the biggest steals, surprises and storylines from the 2016 NFL draft—from Jared Goff to Kalan Reed.

It's a QB's World...We're All Just Living in It

After the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles mortgaged their respective futures to move up to the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in this year's draft, there was no doubt the first two picks were going to be quarterbacks. The only question was which one would go where.

That question was answered Thursday night. As most pundits expected, the Rams made Cal quarterback Jared Goff the top overall pick in 2016.

As head coach Jeff Fisher told Michael Silver of the NFL Network, while draftniks debated the merits of Goff and Carson Wentz of North Dakota State, Fisher knew the moment the Rams made the trade the 6'4", 215-pound Goff was their guy:

"

I love Carson Wentz, but Jared Goff is gonna be my quarterback. The way he gets the ball out -- how he knows where to go with it and gets it to the receiver perfectly, in stride, in the tightest of windows -- it's a sight to behold. You look at the way the Patriots play, with Tom (Brady) just zipping the ball to (Julian) Edelman and (Danny) Amendola before you can even think about touching him, and that's where football is today. And trust me, Todd Gurley will be the best friend a young quarterback can have.

"

Yes, Fisher just mentioned Goff in the same breath as The Golden Boy. Gotta love that post-draft honeymoon period.

That left Wentz headed to Philadelphia. And as Rob Tornoe of Philly.com wrote Saturday, it didn't take long for the 6'5", 237-pound FCS star to be welcomed to town in a fashion only Eagles fans can pull off.

On his way through Philadelphia International Airport, Wentz encountered some Eagles fans searching for autographs. When Wentz begged off on signing, well, Philly happened:

"

“Come on, you won’t sign for a season ticket holder?” one fan exclaimed in the video captured by CBS 3 Sports Director Don Bell. “Come on Carson, you’re better than this,” another said.

That’s when one angry fan let the boo birds fly. “We’re going to boo you already!” he exclaimed.

"

Don't ever change, Eagles fans.

You can debate the merits of dealing multiple first-rounders (among other picks) to get a young quarterback who is by no means a sure bet. The last time a team did it (Washington in 2012 with Robert Griffin III), it started well and ended in disaster.

But the deals (and picks) that kicked off this year's draft only serve to underscore the desperation teams with a need under center feel in today's NFL.

Joey Bosa and the Buckeyes Barrage

It didn't take long to get our first curveball of the 2016 NFL draft.

There were a number of players mentioned as potential targets for the San Diego Chargers at No. 3 overall: Offensive tackles Ronnie Stanley of Notre Dame and Laremy Tunsil of Ole Miss. Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Oregon defensive lineman DeForest Buckner.

The Chargers drafted exactly none of them, instead settling on Ohio State edge-rusher Joey Bosa.

On the surface it appears a curious fit, as Bosa looks best suited as an end on a four-man front. However, Chargers general manager Tom Telesco told Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune that the Bolts were bullish on Bosa from the get-go:

"

It's our business to keep our information in-house. Most teams do. We're just doing our job. Certainly, our No. 1 goal wasn't to throw people off. Our goal was just to find football players. ... (Bosa) has been the No. 1 guy for a while, probably since September.

You go through all the work, comparing him to prospects. You go through the fall, the playing ability and then through the all-star games, the combine, the pro day, interviews. The more work we did, he kept being the top guy. In the end, it wasn't that hard of a decision for us.

"

In hindsight, it may not be that curious a pick after all. Bosa told the NFL Network during Saturday's draft coverage that defensive coordinator John Pagano informed him he will stay at defensive end, and for many NFL teams, a nickel set (complete with four-man front) has become the de facto base defense.

Bosa may have been the first Ohio Sate player drafted, but he was far from the last.

Four more Buckeyes stars (tailback Ezekiel Elliott at No. 4, cornerback Eli Apple at No. 10, tackle Taylor Decker at No. 16 and linebacker Darron Lee at No. 20) were drafted in the first round.

Five more of their teammates joined them on Day 2, including safety Vonn Bell and wide receivers Michael Thomas and Braxton Miller. Those 10 players selected in the first three rounds set a record for the modern draft era.

Two more Buckeyes, including 2014 College Football Playoff darling Cardale Jones, joined them Saturday.

That's a staggering 12 players drafted. In one year.

Jalen Ramsey and the Defensive Deluge in Jacksonville

We may one day look back on the 2016 NFL draft as the turning point in the AFC South.

It was the weekend the Jacksonville Jaguars selected the top two overall players on the Bleacher Report 2016 NFL draft big board.

With the Chargers going with Joey Bosa and the Dallas Cowboys choosing Ezekiel Elliott, the table was set for the Jaguars to nab the No. 1 overall player on our big board in Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey.

As John Oehser of the Jaguars' official website wrote, former FSU teammate and current Jacksonville linebacker Telvin Smith approved of the selection of the 6'1", 209-pounder:

"

That’s somebody that I trust. ... His mindset. We talk about toughness. We talk about grit. We talk about that relentless effort. That’s what he has. That’s not me talking about it. I’ve seen it, and that’s the biggest thing. That’s why I’m so excited.

When I say, ‘I know him,’ that’s what I mean. It’s not saying, ‘I know he’s going to make plays.’ I know he’s not going to give up.

"

Ramsey should immediately provide a big boost to one of the NFL's worst secondaries last year. And the Jaguars were only getting started.

As Friday's second round dawned, the Jaguars added UCLA linebacker Myles Jack, who saw his draft stock plummet from top-five prospect to Day 2 pick amid concerns about the long-term stability of his surgically repaired knee.

The 6'1", 245-pound Jack was a jack-of-all-trades (sorry, couldn't be helped) for the Bruins before tearing his meniscus last year. Jags general manager David Caldwell told Don Banks of Sports Illustrated he believes Jack's talent was worth a roll of the dice:

"

We want to be great. We’ve got to take chances. We’ve been pretty conservative in our time here and in our philosophy in drafting, and in some of our free-agent acquisitions. There comes a point in time where we’ve got to close the talent gap, and you’re not going to do that without taking risks. This is one that we just felt (was a) calculated risk. He’s going to play out his contract and hopefully he’s here for 10, 12 years and we’ll look back at it as a good thing for the Jaguars.

"

But wait, there's more!

Maryland defensive end Yannick Ngakoue in the third round. Notre Dame defensive tackle Sheldon Day in the fourth. Montana defensive end Tyrone Holmes in the sixth. Five defensive picks in a row to open the draft.

Add in 2015 first-round pick Dante Fowler Jr. (who missed his entire rookie year with a torn ACL), and we could be looking at a rapid turnaround for the Jaguars defense.

Tunsil's Tumble

Jon Durr/Getty Images

For many young men, Thursday's first round was the best day of their lives.

Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil was not one of them.

It wasn't that long ago that Tunsil was the presumptive favorite to go No. 1 overall. Even after the trades that insured the first two picks would be quarterbacks, Tunsil appeared a safe bet for the top five and a lock for the top 10.

Instead, Tunsil didn't come off the board until the Miami Dolphins took him at No. 13.

So what happened? What spurred Tunsil's drop down draft boards?

Oh, the usual...a video of Tunsil doing bong hits from a gas mask uploaded to his (allegedly hacked) Twitter account.

But hey, at least he was drafted, right? Getting arguably the draft's top overall prospect at 13 could prove to be one of the draft's biggest steals, right? Things can't get any worse, right?

Think again.

As James Walker of ESPN wrote, at right about the same time Tunsil was being drafted, a picture was uploaded to his Instagram account of what appeared to be Tunsil asking coaches at Ole Miss for cash.

Tunsil later admitted to reporters that the screenshots "were true."

By the time Friday rolled around, Tunsil wasn't talking about anything but his new home.

"Just know that they got a good guy that puts everything on the line for the team," Tunsil said, per Walker. "It's been good. I've been drafted. I'm happy."

Listen, if Tunsil plays at anywhere near the level in Miami he did in Oxford, in three years, no one in South Florida will give two hoots about the drama of the last 72 hours.

Fans in Mississippi, on the other hand...

And Laremy, buddy, stay off the social media.

After the Tunsil drama, the first round settled in a bit. There was a run on defensive backs and wide receivers, but nothing too wild.

Then the drama ratcheted back up a notch as Thursday's action drew to a close.

With the retirement of Peyton Manning and the departure of Brock Osweiler in free agency, much has been made of the Denver Broncos' need at quarterback—a need most are apparently not confident Mark Sanchez can fill.

I have no idea why.

Well, the Broncos addressed that need Thursday evening, moving up a handful of spots to select Paxton Lynch of Memphis.

As Jeff Legwold of ESPN wrote, Broncos GM (and all-around Grand Poobah) John Elway spent most of Thursday night hoping he'd get a chance to slide up and snag the 6'7", 244-pounder:

"

We worked the phones from noon [Thursday] to try to find where we could slide in. We talked to everybody starting at 17 all the way up and finally were able to do a deal with the Seahawks. We were thrilled to be able to do that, and Paxton was still there and we’re extremely excited. He’s a big, athletic, strong young guy that fits us perfectly.

The one thing that we really liked about Paxton is the enthusiasm that he plays the game with. I think if you watch tape, he’s the first down there if they have a long touchdown or whatnot -- Paxton is the first one down there in the end zone to congratulate the guy. He’s involved, so I think we really liked that what we saw on tape. And his enthusiasm and the way he plays the game.

"

Lynch has the size and arm that pro teams covet. More than a few scouts believe he may actually have the highest ceiling of any quarterback in this class. But he's also a raw prospect and is going to need time to develop.

It was a strong pick, one that should serve the Broncos well in the future.

But the present is still the Sanchize's.

Sorry Denver.

Jerry and Jaylon

As Day 2 dawned on the NFL draft, the big story was Myles Jack and Jaylon Smith. Both were considered among the best prospects in the nation at some point in the last year. Both suffered serious knee injuries that have put their playing futures in doubt.

I already discussed Jack to Jacksonville, but he actually wasn't the first of the duo selected Friday.

That was Smith, whom the Dallas Cowboys took with the 34th overall pick despite the fact he isn't expected to play at all in 2016 after tearing his ACL and LCL in the Fiesta Bowl.

Of course, don't tell Smith that. As the Dallas Morning News reported, Smith believes there's still a chance he can play this season despite lingering nerve damage in his knee.

"Absolutely," Smith said. "Never doubt God":

"

I get different sensations everyday with the nerve, but it's just a timing thing. I'm only three-and-a-half months out, so time will definitely tell, but the knee is fine. That was cleared at the medical recheck that the knee won't have any issues. But it's just a timing thing for the nerve. It's too early in the process to tell.

There's no recovery time because this is a process where we're relying on God to do his work. We have to be patient and you know the nerve can come back tomorrow. It's just a timing thing. Whenever it wants to come back, it'll come back.

"

Smith also told reporters that once the nerve does regenerate, he intends to show in short order why scouts drooled over him at Notre Dame:

"

They're getting a heck of a player. A guy who knows his football IQ, very intelligent, but also a playmaker. That's something that I'll be able to compliment, be able to pass rush, both sideline to sideline. Looking forward to playing with Mr. (Sean) Lee.

"

If this pick pays off—if Smith comes back at 100 percent—this may have been the steal of the draft. Smith's speed, range and athleticism are everything an NFL team could ask for from an outside linebacker.

But there's no guarantee he will, and a Cowboys team in desperate need of pass-rush help eschewed that help for a roll of the dice. The last time Dallas risked a second-rounder on a talented but injured linebacker (Bruce Carter), it blew up in their faces.

Here's hoping this time is different.

Tampa Drafted a WHAT?

Don Juan Moore/Getty Images

Just as in fantasy football, NFL teams who draft a kicker early often draw snickers from the draft community.

In 2016, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drew full-blown incredulity.

It wasn't just that for the first time since 2005 a kicker was taken in Round 2 when the Buccaneers selected Florida State's Roberto Aguayo at No. 59.

Per Andrew Astleford of ESPN.com, it was a pick that made Aguayo, the first kicker to leave school early since fellow Seminole Sebastian Janikowski, a happy man.

"Honestly, it was where I wanted to go," Aguayo said. "They had the pick at 74. I was just waiting it out, and all of a sudden, the call came in."

Yes, you read that right. The Buccaneers moved up to take Aguayo. Dealt two more picks for the right to take a kicker in Round 2.

Tampa GM Jason Licht defended the call, per Astleford:

"

The importance of special teams is paramount. I didn't want to risk it. I wanted to take him. I have a lot of confidence in him. I like the way that he's wired. I like the body of work that he has put out there, obviously. A great kicker can be the difference in several games.

"

Yes, Aguayo is a great kicker. The most accurate kicker in college football history, as a matter of fact. He's essentially automatic from inside 40 yards. And with the longer extra points in the NFL now, that accuracy will come in handy.

But the Buccaneers have more holes than just at the kicker position. They are not a deep football team.

Spending three picks (including two on Day 2) on a kicker is lunacy.

Quarterback Jumble

Joe Robbins/Getty Images

There was little question that Goff, Wentz and Lynch were the top three quarterback prospects. All three were expected to go in Round 1, and sure enough, that's just what happened.

However, leading up to the draft, there was some belief that Michigan State's Connor Cook and/or Penn State's Christian Hackenberg might sneak their way into the back end of the draft's first day.

Not only was that not the case, but Cook didn't hear his name called on Day 2 either.

Here's a look at the quarterbacks drafted after the "big three," complete with grades. Because as we all know, before the draft it's mocks, and after it's report cards.

Christian Hackenberg, Penn State (New York Jets, 51): The QB-needy Jets raised eyebrows by taking Hackenberg ahead of Cook. The 6'4", 223-pounder looks the part, but he got progressively worse at Penn State and didn't even complete 55 percent of his passes in 2015. C-

Jacoby Brissett, North Carolina State (New England Patriots, 91): Per Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com, "Brissett has great size and big hands, so you know he can handle the cold weather. Perhaps this is competition for Jimmy Garoppolo." C

Cody Kessler, USC (Cleveland Browns, 93): Hue Jackson hinted at an open quarterback competition should the Browns add a quarterback in the draft. If the popgun-armed Kessler is the best they can do, RG3 doesn't have much to worry about. D

Connor Cook, Michigan State (Oakland Raiders, 100): Questions about Cook's leadership abilities may have led to this dip, but he has the makings of a high-end backup and won't be tasked with leading anything in Oakland. B

Dak Prescott, Mississippi State (Dallas Cowboys, 135): Mark Dulgerian of NFL.com loved this pick. "There are physical, athletic, and leadership traits comparable to Tim Tebow," Dulgerian said, "but Prescott is vastly more pro-ready as a passer. He's an ideal backup as he continues to work on overall consistency, but he'll bring a dynamic element if his name's ever called." No argument here. A-

Cardale Jones, Ohio State (Buffalo Bills, 139): Jones has great size, great mobility and a howitzer for an arm. But accuracy and consistency are question marks. Could be starting in three years. Could also be out of the league altogether. B

Kevin Hogan, Stanford (Kansas City Chiefs, 162): Hogan doesn't do anything especially well, but he's a smart and experienced player who will provide the Chiefs with some depth under center. B-

Nate Sudfeld, Indiana (Washington Redskins, 187): Sudfeld runs more like Peter Griffin than Robert Griffin, but the 6'6", 234-pounder showed some flashes for the Hoosiers in 2015. A capable backup in the making for Kirk Cousins. B-

Brandon Allen, Arkansas (Jacksonville Jaguars, 201): The Jaguars were one of a number of teams looking to back up young starters on Day 3. Allen's tenure at Arkansas was tempestuous, but he has some talent. B-

Jeff Driskel, Louisiana Tech (San Francisco 49ers, 207): Lance Zierlein's take: "With his upside and traits, Driskel is worthy of a Day 3 selection and could yield dividends with patience and coaching."
Chip Kelly agrees. B-

Brandon Doughty, Western Kentucky (Miami Dolphins, 223): An NFC Scout to Zierlein: "There was a play against North Texas where he scrambled out of the pocket and had a chance to dive in for a touchdown but slid at the 1-yard line rather than take the hit and make the play. That's not good enough." Ouch. C

Bengals' Bargains

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

As the third day of the draft got underway, three players ranked among the top 50 overall prospects on the Bleacher Report big board were still available.

The Cincinnati Bengals drafted two of them Saturday.

The Bengals started Day 3 by selecting Baylor defensive tackle Andrew Billings at pick No. 122. It marked the end of a draft-day(s) slide both drastic and unexpected. After all, this was a player who wasn't just a top-50 prospect on NFL Draft Lead Writer Matt Miller's big board.

He was ranked inside the top 25.

Dulgerian had a possible explanation for the drop:

"

Billings is a two-down nose tackle which, in a passing league, isn't as valuable. His draft spot is not indicative of his talent, however, as he's got a heavy anchor with elite play strength to control the interior gaps. With Domata Peko's age and contract year coming up, we're likely looking at his replacement.

"

First-round talent at a position of need? In Round 4? Jackpot!

The Bengals weren't done yet. With their next pick (No. 161), they drafted Arizona State guard Christian Westerman, a versatile 298-pounder, whom Lance Zierlein of NFL.com compared to Alex Mack of the Atlanta Falcons:

"

Offensive line coaches will appreciate Westerman's technical savvy, and zone scheme teams will covet his fluidity and blocking ability on the move. A move to center is not out of the question thanks to his body type and quickness, and his draft stock may be helped by a potential ability to offer roster depth at several offensive line positions.

"

Westerman's draft stock may not have been helped by his ability to play up and down the line, but the Bengals' offensive line depth certainly was.

Stories Behind the Players

Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY Sports

The middle and late rounds of the draft aren't necessarily about finding difference-makers. Teams are as likely to find the next victim of The Turk as they are the next Tom Brady.

In fact, often the most interesting things about prospects later in the draft are the stories behind the players.

Take, for example, wide receiver Moritz Boehringer, a lanky 6'4", 227-pounder with 4.4 speed. As one scout told Zierlein, Boehringer impressed at his pro day. But there's a catch:

"

He looked good (at his pro day). Anytime a guy covers all the measurables from length to explosion to speed, you tend to get excited. This is the first time I've seen him in person. He's got a chance, but you have to realize he's going against guys who aren't even at a D-III level. How will he deal with that jump in competition? How will he handle an NFL locker room? That's a culture shock. I'm not trying to kill the guy, but let's slow the train down a little.

"

That concern about the level of competition? It arises from the fact Boehringer played in 2015 for the Schwabisch Hall Unicorns...of the German Football League.

Yes, that Germany. The one in Europe. As in the first player in NFL history to be drafted straight from Europe.

Then there's offensive tackle Shon Coleman of Auburn, whom Jeremiah talked up after the Browns took him late on Day 2.

"This is a great story," Jeremiah said. "Teams that met with him fell in love with him. He plays nasty. This is a guy who plays aggressively but will need to home in his technique."

That great story? Well, this is actually Coleman's second trip to the NFL draft. He announced a pick a few years ago to celebrate his return to playing football after being diagnosed with leukemia in 2010.

Like Coleman, Malcolm Mitchell of Georgia played his college football in the SEC. Like Coleman, Mitchell battled adversity, missing the entire 2013 season with a torn ACL.

And while Mitchell rehabbed from injury, the player who rarely read anything (even as a college student) discovered a love for the written word. Of course, just loving to read isn't that big a deal. However, Rachel G. Bowers of the Boston Globe reported what Mitchell has done with that love:

"

As his love of reading flourished, he wanted to help kids get into reading and enjoy it, so he began frequenting local elementary schools to read with students for what was eventually dubbed, Read With Malcolm.

Then, the Valdosta, Ga., native put pen to paper to author “The Magician’s Hat” last summer. He was able to have the book published — he spent between $500 and $1,000 of his own money to publish it — and even sell it in local bookstores.

"

It just goes to show you that while making it in the NFL as a Day 2 or Day 3 pick can be a big challenge, many of the young men trying to do so have already climbed bigger mountains.

Browns Are Wild for Wide Receivers

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports

The Cleveland Browns were at the center of any number of storylines in the 2016 NFL draft.

There was the trade with the Philadelphia Eagles that netted the Eagles Wentz and the Browns a bundle of picks, including an extra first-rounder in 2017.

There was the trade back from No. 8 to No. 15. More picks. More trades back for more picks.

In fact, by the end, the Browns ended up with 14 picks, tying a record for the most picks in the common draft era.

There were good picks, like Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah in Round 2. Bad ones, like Kessler in Round 3.

And there were wide receivers. Oh boy were there wide receivers. The most wide receivers drafted by a single team in a single draft in 40 years.

Granted, there probably wasn't a more wide receiver-needy team in the NFL entering the draft than the Browns. The question now is which of these quintet of young wideouts will actually help the team.

Corey Coleman, Baylor (15): The Bears speedster gives the Browns and Griffin a vertical threat to replace the departed Travis Benjamin. Not the player I would have made the No. 1 wide receiver off the board, but with Josh Gordon's future in doubt, Coleman will open his first camp as the team's top option at the position. Grade: C+

Ricardo Louis, Auburn (114): Dulgerian was lukewarm on this selection. "The Browns' receiver depth was bone dry, so this is a need selection," he said. "Louis stepped up as Auburn's go-to guy in 2015 and flashes some explosive run-after-catch ability. He's probably limited to a subpackage role during his first couple seasons." Grade: C

Seth Devalve, Princeton (138): A "tweener" who started his collegiate career at wide receiver before moving to tight end, Devalve offers some versatility. The problem is many pundits didn't grade Devalve as even being draftable. Reach. Grade: D

Jordan Payton, UCLA (154): UCLA's career receptions leader, Payton isn't running past anyone. But with decent size (6'1") good hands and solid technique, Payton offers the Browns some depth as an underneath/possession target. Grade: B

Rashard Higgins, Colorado State (172): "Hollywood" tore up the stat sheet in 2014, leading all FBS receivers with over 1,700 yards. Probably the most pro-ready wideout of the bunch, Higgins could easily be an early contributor. Grade: B+

Mr. Irrelevant and the Best of the Rest

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports

The 2016 NFL draft, as it does every year, ended with Mr. Irrelevant.

The tradition of saddling the last pick in the draft with that moniker began in 1976 when former player Paul Salata began handing out an "award" annually to the final player taken.

Since then, the phenomenon has taken on a life of its own. In fact, there's now a three-day festival of sorts in June to celebrate the pick (and player) in California.

This year, the NFL draft concluded as it was originally slated to begin—with the Tennessee Titans on the clock.

Tennessee selected defensive back Kalan Reed of Southern Miss, a 5'11", 192-pounder Rob Rang of CBS Sports projected as a nickelback at the NFL level: "Reed is an instinctive, physical defender willing to come up in run support but he lacks ideal speed and length, projecting best as nickel corner in a zone-heavy scheme because of his burst to close and hand-eye coordination."

Reed was the 253rd player taken, but there were also any number of youngsters who didn't hear their names called who (in the eyes of some at least) have the talent to stick on an NFL team.

They include:

Jeremy Cash, S, Duke: Graded as a third-round prospect on the Bleacher Report big board, Cash may have been the victim of the evolution of NFL defenses. Classic "in the box" strong safeties have fallen out of favor with many teams, although it's surprising no team used a late pick on him as a "hybrid" linebacker/safety. He may well be signed by the time I finish writing this.

Cash announced he signed with the Panthers. 

Hunter Sharp, WR, Utah State: Another youngster who was well inside the B/R top 100, Sharp wasn't wanting long. As ESPN's Adam Caplan tweeted, the 5'11", 198-pounder has already inked a pact with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Landon Turner, OG, North Carolina: Per Zierlein, Turner's deficiencies in pass protection likely hurt in the eyes of some teams. "Turner is a road-grader deluxe, (but) he’s no dancing bear and they will have to be OK with his potential concerns against quickness in pass protection."

The Saints signed him Saturday night, per the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson. 

Jalin Marshall, WR, Ohio State: Marshall can be an electrifying talent with a football in his hands and a dangerous returner. But he's also maddeningly inconsistent and prone to both lapses in focus and putting the ball on the ground.

Marshall announced that he signed with the Jets.
