Luke McCaffrey NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Fifth Round
BEST TEAM FITS: Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans
PROSPECT ANALYSIS: Luke McCaffrey is an excellent route runner who can moonlight out wide but projects to be a full-time slot receiver in the NFL. He has great hands, will come down with anything he touches, and excels against zone coverage.

He does not have his brother's speed or explosiveness, but he produced 129 receptions for 1,715 yards and 19 touchdowns in two seasons after converting from a quarterback to a wide receiver. He still has plenty of room to grow. Given his skill set, he could have a Jamison Crowder or Hunter Renfrow type of career in the right spot.
Frank Gore Jr. NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Seventh Round/Undrafted
BEST TEAM FITS: Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs
PROSPECT ANALYSIS: It's not difficult to figure out who Frank Gore Jr.'s father is, and after four collegiate seasons, he's ready to give it a go in the NFL. Gore Jr. racked up 4,022 rushing yards, 26 rushing touchdowns, 692 receiving yards, and four receiving scores in 47 career games at Southern Miss. He posted at least 1,100 yards in his final two seasons.
He registered a 45.8 percent college dominator rating as a senior and a respectable 10.2% college target share overall, but 4.9 yards per carry isn't impressive for an NFL prospect. Ultimately, a team might take a chance on him because of his bloodline, but there's no guarantee he will be selected in this week's draft.
Brenden Rice NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Fourth Round
BEST TEAM FITS: Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants
PROSPECT ANALYSIS: Brenden Rice is the son of the greatest receiver of all time (Jerry Rice). He has a nice size and knows how to use it. He has pretty good speed for his size, but he does not change direction well, and he is better against zone than man as he struggles to create separation at times.

He never eclipsed the 800-yard mark in four collegiate seasons, so it would be a surprise if he rises to stardom in the NFL. His best case is likely developing into a solid WR3 at the next level.
