1.15 Tampa Bay Meat Goats - RB David Johnson

In the real world: The Arizona Cardinals drafted Johnson out of Northern Iowa in Round 3 to add depth to their running back corps, which was depleted by injuries last season (which, in turn, led to the Cardinals having one of the NFL's least effective running attacks). Johnson, a converted wide receiver, has a good blend of size and speed, and he is versatile, but he runs a little upright and doesn't have much wiggle.
In the TUFF world: The five-time NFC champs needed depth at RB beyond DeMarco Murray, but took a bit of a risk by passing up the available talent at WR. They have two solid starters in Torrey Smith and Jordan Matthews, and you can pencil in Pierre Garcon as their #3 wideout and Doug Baldwin as a backup, but as of the time this Draft Wrapup was published, Victor Cruz (torn patellar tendon) was only at 75-80% health, and it's not clear as to how effective he'll be once he is recovered.
