RB Devonta Freeman, Florida State -- There was a thread a week or two ago asking who the "next Jamaal Charles" was in this upcoming draft. My answer in that thread was Devonta Freeman (not "Freedman," as I've been thinking it was for months). I am in love with this prospect. Freeman has elite quickness, hits gaps hard, has good, stout size (5'9", 200 lbs), and squeezes in behind his blocks fantastically. He's also extremely good receiving out of the backfield, and a surprisingly good blocker. Freeman is currently projected as a midrounder, but I have no idea why -- I guess it's because he's not a 4.3 guy (he sure looks like a 4.4 guy to me, however). He would be outstanding value in the midrounds, but I'd be happy taking him in the 3rd if the Chiefs were in the hunt for another RB (which they're probably not in the 3rd, but still). Freeman is an outstanding talent, and is my favorite RB in this entire draft class, no matter the draft projections.
