1.12 Denver Devils - WR Phillip Dorsett

In the real world: Rather small at 5'9", 185, and only had two productive seasons, but he's blazing (4.33) speed. The Colts drafted him late in Round 1, even they already have TY Hilton, Donte Moncrief, and veteran free agent addition Andre Johnson. Factors favoring Dorsett's job situation: Hilton is entering a contract year, he and Dorsett are similar in size and skill set, the Colts may not be able to ink Andrew Luck to an extension and re-sign Hilton, and the Colts wanted Dorsett so much that they rejected a trade offer for the 29th pick. And besides, it's good for the Colts to hedge bets on Moncrief, a second-year pro who's only had a couple of 100-yard games so far in his young career. Andrew Luck: "I know Phillip's going to be a stud. Runs like the wind, tracks the ball in the air, makes big plays."
In the TUFF world: The Devils were able to solve the issue of who starts for Peyton Manning in week 8 by getting Matt Cassel from Cleveland dirt-cheap (all they gave up was a fourth-rounder next year)--that means the week 8 starter will be either Cassel or E.J. Manuel. That trade saved them from having to spend the 1.12 pick on Jameis Winston, allowing them to take a wide receiver instead.
