Grades are in for all 32 teams in the NFL draft, but which picks will turn out to be the biggest values for each team? College Football 24/7 takes a look this week at the five best bargains in each division, continuing today with the AFC West and NFC West teams:
NFC West
CB Harlan Miller, Arizona Cardinals
Drafted:6th round (205th overall)
Why he's a bargain:In Miller, the Cardinals drafted a better player than athlete. The former Southeastern Louisiana standout has plenty of impressive game tape and instincts for his position. Those instincts, and his passion for the game, will serve him well in training camp. It won't hurt to have the likes of Tyrann Mathieu and Patrick Peterson to show him how things are done at the pro level. Miller's performance at the NFL Scouting Combine didn't help him (4.65-second 40-yard dash), as he failed to rank in the top 10 among cornerbacks in any combine drill. That contributed to his fall, but for what they paid, the Cardinals made a strong investment here.
RB Alex Collins, Seattle Seahawks
Drafted:5th round (171st overall)
Why he's a bargain:You're sitting around the war room, the fifth round rolls by as the draft's available talent begins to swoon, and when your turn comes up, a running back who sprung three 1,000-yard seasons in the SEC is still waiting for a phone call. That's Collins, who carried even more of the Razorbacks' rushing load last season in the absence of the injured Jonathan Williams. Collins frustrated coach Bret Bielema with maturity issues earlier in his college career, but Collins grew up plenty last year in rushing for 1,577 yards and 20 touchdowns.
DT Jarran Reed, Seattle Seahawks
Drafted:2nd round (49th overall)
Why he's a bargain:Reed was the No. 13 overall prospect in the draft according to NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah, and the Seahawks managed to snag him in the latter half of Round 2. He is a monster against the run, holding the point against double teams and getting off blocks to get at least a piece of the tackle on most anything run in his direction. Disruptive and scheme-versatile, Reed was the most consistent player on a highly talented Alabama defensive line last year. He isn't likely to provide much pass rush in the NFL, a likely factor in his fall out of the first round.
WR Aaron Burbridge, San Francisco 49ers
Drafted:6th round (213th overall)
Why he's a bargain:When Connor Cook needed a big catch in a key moment last year, he was usually throwing the ball Burbridge's way. He's a strong, physical receiver who could have easily been taken a round or two earlier, particularly given the 4.49-second 40-yard dash he ran at his pro day that helped answer some scouting questions about his speed. Burbridge had fairly limited production over the first three years of his college career, but exploded as a senior with career highs in catches (85) and yards (1,258).
WR Pharoh Cooper, Los Angeles Rams
Drafted:4th round (117th overall)
Why he's a bargain:With Jared Goff presumably taking over the quarterback job eventually, if not immediately, the Rams needed a draft boost at the wide receiver position to go with him. Cooper's production at South Carolina leaves no wonder why the Rams chose him. The Gamecocks used him in every way imaginable, as a receiver, rusher, punt returner, and he even threw a few passes as a quarterback from the wildcat formation. He doesn't have blazing speed, but he's effective after the catch and difficult to tackle in space.
