- Fournette - Went where expected, should do fine with Coughlin leading the team. Yeldon still has a role as a 3rd down back, Ivory has probably little value.
- Davis - The Titans are a landing spot some liked. I think he could do well, but worry that the running game will overshadow him. Reduced the hope for Tajae and the role for Rishard.
- McCaffrey - Went to Carolina as expected. Could do really well with the threat of Cam to take off, and his special teams ability. Cam doesn't really throw the ball to the RB, so it will be interesting to see if he can change.
- Williams - Went to the Chargers, a small surprised, lots of analysts had them going D. He could be great, but they have a lot of mouths to feed in Los Angeles. Williams, Williams, Allen, Henry, Gates, Benjamin... could someone get traded? If not, Tyrell is probably the odd man out.
- Howard - Not many thought he'd last until the Bucs. It's almost a perfect landing spot for both him and Winston. It seems like Brate's value will plummet, but could be interesting if they employ a 2 TE set. Evans, Brate, Howard, Jackson... how do you stop that?
- Njoku - The Browns probably isn't that bad of a landing spot, but I don't think this is a great landing spot. Hue Jackson has turned TEs into TD machines in the past, but with fairly low yardage numbers. Perhaps this time will be different, but Cody Kessler isn't as good as Andy Dalton.
- Mitchell Trubisky - Well, the Bears is a bit of a surprise. He's got solid targets and a potentially good O-line if they can stay healthy. Don't think he's particularly fantasy relevant.
- Pat Mahomes II - The Chiefs trading up was a surprise, and a pleasant one. Andy Reid can groom a QB to be a good NFL Quarterback. Will he be fantasy relevant? That remains to be seen, but right now I think he has the most upside. The Chiefs have some good pass catchers, and he wouldn't need to start until a year or 2 from now.
- Deshaun Watson - I thought he was the best pro QB in the draft. His mechanics aren't perfect, he throws too many jump balls and therefore gets picked too much, but he wins big games. You want to draft a winner. As a fantasy QB I'm not sure he'll ever be reliable, but the Texans have some good WRs and he'll be given the opportunity to take over the role sooner rather than later. Lamar Miller should also be a good safety net for him, and the defense should be able to keep scores low and allow him to ease into the QB situation, instead of having to air it out a lot.
