I really believe in both of these guys, and I wouldn't blame you if you took them as high as the 3rd round. Both have the goods to be productive when they get touches, and are not jitterbugs despite being on the small side. Brown is particularly powerful and was very good in the SEC, the the #1 NFL RB proving ground. Brown lit up the Shrine Game practices and he will soon be featured on Draftguys TV. Forsett was just as impressive at the Senior Bowl. I wouldn't be shocked if either has the impact of Ahmad Bradshaw or Selvin Young in year 1, but like those two, I just don't think a team would ever make either a feature back. Still, both are good enough to get a lot of attention, and have a good temporary value if they get opportunity.

The first safety doesn't make an appearance until the second 50, that should tell you how weak this class is. Phillips actually has a pretty good fantasy profile for a safety, with a mean streak and in-the-box size, but good enough range to hang in coverage. The fantasy landscape of NFL safeties seems to be pretty deep and level, but Phillips should become an everyweek starter pretty early in his career - he's low because he's not exceptional and the position isn't that hard to fill with good waiver wire work.

You have to throw out Hall's poor times, because his instincts allow him to play much faster than his poor 40 times. He also lives to punish offensive players. Hall is only 5'11" but his desire more than makes up for it. He might project best as a two down run stuffer, so his fantasy upside could be limited, but his feel for the game is undeniable.

Carlson actually presents a value because of the poor team the Irish fielded in his Senior season. He's a fearless receiver over the middle, shows the valid speed to rip the seams, and has WR like body control and extension to make for a huge catch radius. I'm just not sure Carlson has the all-around game or qu
