2.07 Dallas Junglehawgs — WR Mohamed Sanu

	In the real world: Sanu has a good shot at becoming the Cincinnati Bengals' #2 WR, behind only phenom A.J. Green. The Bengals are thinking of Sanu as a slightly bigger and faster version of T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Steve Muench wrote of him on February 16: "... he doesn't project as a vertical threat at the next level. On the other hand, he caught a Big East-record 115 passes and has all the tools teams look for in a No. 2 receiver. He's big enough to line up on the outside, knows how to get open underneath and has above-average ball skills." A telling statistic: Out of 210 career receptions at Rutgers, only four went for 20 yards or more. His main competition for receptions in Cincinnati will be Jordan Shipley (who is 26 and has missed three of his last eight seasons with injuries) and fifth-round rookie Marvin Jones.
	In the TUFF world: Dallas entered the draft needing to improve its depth at wide receiver. On May 6, they acquired Michael Crabtree (along with QB Matt Moore, a Ryan Tannehill handcuff) from Green Bay for two second-rounders. As with the Pittsburgh BIG PAPAS, the Junglehawgs' WR corps is young and developing, headed by Crabtree, Jonathan Baldwin and Denarius Moore. Sanu will be a reliable, albeit unspectacular, reserve in TUFF--in my estimation, a taller Jason Avant with a better NFL job situation.
	TUFF Trivia: Sanu's agent received a call on the night of April 26 saying Sanu had been drafted in Round 1 by the Bengals. It turned out to be a prank call from a Rutgers student who managed to get Sanu's cell phone number. The following night, he did get drafted in Round 3, by the very same Bengals.

3.04 Indianapolis Hoosier Daddy's — WR Marvin Jones

In the real world: I'll admit it. Jones was totally off my radar until last month, when Matt Waldman published two articles featuring him and Stephen Hill of Georgia Tech. Here's one article, and here's the other. It seems like the 6'3", 202-lb. Jones was used as the #2 at Cal, with the up-and-coming Keenan Allen as the #1, but he might be more than a possession receiver. In fact, he probably has more upside than his fellow Bengals rookie, Mohamed Sanu. Rumor has it that the Bengals may also add Braylon Edwards to compete with Jones and Sanu for the #2 receiver spot, but Edwards is still recovering from a knee injury suffered early last season.

In the TUFF world: This round is the time and place to weed out the real receivers from the undersized kick returners. Jones is definitely not the latter. I definitely like this pick and was hoping he'd fall to 3.06.  Looking at both footballguys.com's rookie rankings and MFL's average draft position results for 16-team keeper leagues, Indy's getting a good value, regardless of whether the Bengals sign Edwards.

4.09 Tennessee Taz Devils — RB Daniel "Boom" Herron

In the real world: Herron, a physical runner but with no breakaway speed, was part of the same Ohio State memorabilia sales scandal that also involved DeVier Posey and three other Buckeyes. He, too, could have just turned pro, but as this story says, he put a higher priority on repairing his own image and helping the Buckeyes, regardless of his draft stock, and that speaks positively about his character. In 2010, he easily overtook Brandon Saine to become OSU's leading rusher, rushing for 1,155 yards and 16 TDs and capping off the season with monster games against Penn State and Michigan. He fell to Round 6, where he went to the Cincinnati Bengals.

In the TUFF world: Tennessee handcuffs Herron to Bernard Scott. The supply of RBs in this year's TUFF Draft is dwindling...
