2014 NFL Draft 4th-7th round notes

4th Round

106) San Francisco 49ers - Bruce Ellington, WR, South Carolina: I love this pick, everything that people think Stevie Johnson can bring the 49ers Ellington actually brings. I don't see another player on the roster that fulfills the speedy slot guy. Ellington is slight and that leads to concerns about his ability to stay healthy but he was productive at South Carolina and brings a new element on the inside of Crabtree and Boldin.
116) Oakland Raiders -  Keith McGill, CB, Utah: McGill could have gone two rounds higher but slips to the Raiders who should use him as a press corner on a defense that needs to gel quickly.
117) Chicago Bears - Ka'Deem Carey, RB, Arizoan: Carey was extremely productive at Arizona and was the most consistant producer at the running back position all year. Carey doesn't have the elite speed upside or the quick twitch athleticism but he should be a productive compliment year one to Matt Forte.
118) Pittsburgh Steelers - Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson: Bryant is raw and could have probably used another year at Clemson but he still has big play ability and stretches the field from the outside. He should be able to fill that stretch role that Wallace burst onto the scene in and gives Big Ben that deep threat he's been looking for to compliment everything that Antonio Brown does.
120) Arizona Cardinals - Logan Thomas, QB, Virginia Tech: I put this one in here because Thomas hasn't grown as a passer in two seasons. He has all the physical tools and a 4th round flyer is fine but he doesn't possess the ability to throw with any accuracy.
123) Seattle Seahawks - Kevin Norwood, WR, Alabama: Love this pick by the defending champs. Norwood brings a solid route runner, do it all reciever that should be a solid 3rd or 4th option.
124) Kansas City Chiefs - De'Anthony Thomas, RB, Oregon: Thomas was dynamic two years ago but got bottled up too much last season at Oregon. He should be able to fill the role vacated by Dexter McCluster and if put out in space he's explosive enough to be a home run threat with ever touch.
127) Cleveland Browns - Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood: Desir was one of my favorite small school talents and Cleveland picked up a hell of gem . Desir didn't hit the speed benchmarks but shows the ability to play tough defense against big recievers.
135) Houston Texans - Tom Savage, QB, Pittsburgh: Bill O'Brien got his big QB in the draft and props for it not beign Mallett but Savage is incredibly inaccurate and a stiff in the pocket. I trust O'Brien with the quarterback situation with what he did at Penn State but I don't see Savage panning out for Houston.

5th Round

144) Jacksonville Jaguars - Telvin Smith, LB, Florida State: Smith fell way too far and the Jaguars got a hell of a football player. A bit of a tweener smith will more than likely bulk up about 15-20 and play linebacker in Jacksonville. Smith was all over the field last year for Florida State and has a nose for the ball that should suit him well at the next level.

145) Minnesota Vikings - David Yankey, OG, Stanford: Yankey was thought by some to be a 2nd rounder and I thought he could at least be a contributor for someone in the 3rd round but a fall to the 5th lands him in the laps of the Vikings who get a solid tactician and a big body to help protect Teddy.

153) Buffalo Bills - Cyril Richardson, OT, Baylor: Richardson was an all-american guard at  Baylor. and helped to spur an ungodly offensive weapon. Richardson is a big boy at 6'5" 340 and needs to work on bending more at the knees and not getting so high in the blocking game.

158) Detroit Lions - Caraun Reid, DT, Princeton: Reid is an intriguing prospect out of Princeton, when watching some of his games you see a lot to like on the inside quick hands, multiple moves. The problems come in consistency and his tendency to stand up out of his stance and lose leverage on the offensive lineman.

175) Baltimore Ravens - John Urschel, OG, Penn State: This is my favorite pick of the draft, for almost zero football reasons. Urschel has a masters and is working on a second one, he teaches a high school class calculus during the season and has mulitple papers published. This kid is going to succeed at life much better than most of us and he happens to be alright at football as well. If you want to know more read this Andy Staples piece.

176) Green Bay Packers - Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin: I really enjoy watching Abbrederis as a players, but concussion concers haunted him through his time at Wisconsin and into the draft. The value here is good and Abbrederis should fight for a rsoter spot come August.

6th Round

178) Tennessee Titans - Zach Mettenberger, QB, LSU: Mettenberger had a dilluted sample at the Combine which is a bit of a red flag but the bigger things are in the game. He showed flashes the last two seasons of being an NFL quarterback, but he showed games in which his decision making should be questioned. If the knee heals properly and holds up Mett should be a fringe starter and career back up.

182) Minnesota Vikings - Antone Exum, CB, Virginia Tech: Exum was overshadowed by Fuller at Virginia Tech and a injured ACL caused his stock to plummet. When healthy Exum showcases a diverse set of skills and athletic ability to make coaches drool. If he can come back from the ACL injuries he should be a welcome addition to a young and improving Vikings secondary.

186) Washington Redskins - Lache Seastrunk, RB, Baylor: Seastrunk is explosive and he should be a nice compliment to Alfred Morris and RGIII in the Washington backfield.

201) San Diego Chargers - Marion Grice, RB, Arizona State: Grice was hyper productive at Arizona State last season and should fit well in the Chargers system behind the oft injured Ryan Matthews.
