5.10 - RB Paul Perkins, Giants

Some players stand out because they are special athletes, while others thrive simply because they do everything well that is required out of their position. The latter applies to Perkins, whose lack of long speed is about the only thing that kept him from being a second-round pick. The UCLA product is very competitive and very comfortable out of the backfield while displaying a nice mix of physicality and elusiveness as a runner. Even better: he fumbled only twice in over 700 college carries and brings it as a blocker in the passing game as well. In New York, he doesn't face a lot of competition for modest Year 1 contributions, although he may be limited to committee duties. Perkins automatically becomes the best dynasty prospect of the current Giants' running backs, however, and a strong case can be made for him to come off the board in rookie drafts in the early second round.

5.11 - RB Jordan Howard, Bears

Howard isn't going to excite the masses with breakaway speed and only amassed 24 catches during his college career, but he is an efficient runner with good vision who is kind of a bull in a china shop, meaning he is a good complement to new lead back Jeremy Langford. In fact, his biggest positive my actually be his biggest negative: the refusal to avoid hits. However, that kind of style - plus his plus-ball security skills (0.8 percent career fumble percentage) - makes him a great fit in a short-yardage role under HC John Fox, who has a long history of utilizing a committee at running back. Howard figures to be Langford's handcuff for fantasy purposes, so he's worth a late-round selection in redraft leagues. Langford figures to be the lead back for a while in Chicago, however, meaning he is probably worth no more than a third-round pick in rookie drafts.

5.15 - WR Jordan Payton, Browns

Labeled as a possession receiver throughout his record-breaking career at UCLA, Peyton blew the minds of personnel executives by running a sub-4.5 in the 40 at the NFL Combine, although that didn't do much to enhance his draft stock. Part of the reason for that is because his play speed doesn't seem to reflect his timed speed. Be that as it may, Payton is a physical route-runner with some of the best hands in this class and great size for his position (6-1, 207). He'll arrive at camp as the No. 4 receiver in all likelihood, but I like his chances of emerging as a starter opposite fellow rookie Corey Coleman before the end of the season. The quarterback situation in Cleveland limits his upside in fantasy upside, although I like him as a potential late second-round pick in rookie drafts.

5.18 - RB Jonathan Williams, Bills

Williams missed all last season with a foot injury and faces long odds of overtaking LeSean McCoy or Karlos Williams anytime soon, but it would be a mistake to write him off because he does possess feature-back potential as a physical runner with better-than-expected lateral agility for a 220-pounder. As a likely third-string running back, he offers no redraft value, but he is still worthy of a long-term stash and an early third-round pick in rookie drafts.

5.34 - RB Alex Collins, Seahawks

Only three SEC running backs have eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards in each of their first three seasons. They are Herschel Walker, Darren McFadden and Collins. This selection likely means the end of Christine Michael in Seattle (again?) as teams usually don't carry four backs on the game day roster. Thomas Rawls and Day 2 pick C.J. Prosise figure to be locks. Collins compares very favorably to Chris Ivory, who has carved out a very nice career in the NFL as a pounder with the ability to accelerate quickly. He has a realistic shot of giving Rawls a run for his money and could steal some goal-line carries from him.

5.35 - WR Rashard Higgins, Browns

Get the sense the new regime in Cleveland believed the cupboard was a bit bare at receiver? "Hollywood" Higgins is the fifth wideout the Browns have drafted and was arguably the most accomplished at the college level, leading FBS in receiving yards in 2014 with 1,750 at Colorado State. The school's all-time leader in receptions (239), receiving yards (3,649) and receiving touchdowns (31) actually had the worst season of his college career with a new quarterback in a new offense last year. Higgins profiles as a possession receiver in the NFL and figures to do battle with Jordan Payton for the right to serve as Corey Coleman's long-term complement at receiver. Payton has more upside, but Higgins isn't too far behind. There's no redraft to speak of here, but he should come off the board a few picks after Payton in rookie drafts.
