Let’s take a look and breakdown the impact of all the skills positions as it relates heavily to most FF owners and leagues.
1.01 JeMarcus Russell, Oakland Raiders: You have to think Russell will start within a year or two if not sooner. I do want to point out and something that got swept under the rug was Oakland getting Josh McCown fro Detroit. I think McCown could come in and start, maybe hold the fort down till Russell is ready but McCown doesn’t have a ton of starting experience, he does however have a lot more NFL knowledge right now over Russell. Any owner taking Russell is banking that because he was a high selection they will see a return on their investment.
1.02 Calvin Johnson WR, Detroit Lions: Great situation for CJ. He has Roy Williams lined up across from him. Johnson should come in and start right away. Martz will showcase his talents. 60+ catches and 1,000 yds as a rookie is not unreachable for this kid. He is not a 12-13 yd per catch kind of guy…he will be used like Moss was as a rookie IMO. Great pick for Dynasty owners. Some with the 1.01 might reconsider between Peterson and Johnson now.
1.07 Adrian Peterson RB, Minnesota Vikings: I was never high on Chester so I think Peterson can come in and start right away. I would be surprised if he didn’t have close to 100 carries thru the 1st 5 games of his career. They are going to want to get the ball into his hands a lot and watch him run behind Hutch and McKinnie…defenses will know they are going there and probably still won’t be able to stop it. Chester owners are in denial if they think he still holds a lot of value.
1.09 Tedd Ginn Jr WR, Miami Dolphins: Its hard to not be biased here but I’ll try. While I don’t like Miami taking Ginn, I do think there is a chance for him to have opp here to score for FF owners, especially if you get punt and kick return yardage and or scores. Who do the Phins have they can run out of the slot with his type of speed? Chambers and Booker will be on the outside, Ginn should have the middle of the filed to fly up the middle if he chooses. Ginn could be one of those guys with 40-50 catches a season for 600 yds and 4-5 scores…which kind of makes him useless on a lot of levels the more I think about it.
1.12 Marshawn Lynch RB, Buffalo Bills: He is in an ideal situation. Some of my friends think that a California RB going to frigid Buffalo is going to be a bad situation but I guess they never heard of OJ Simpson who of course played at USC before being a Bill. He is clearly now the 1.03 in all rookie dynasty drafts. He has a good chance if the OL improves to go out and be a top20 RB for owners.
1.22 Brady Quinn QB, Cleveland Browns: Good for the Browns. He is going to a team that also picked up an outstanding OT to protect Quinn, they have also made a lot of changes to what was a poor OL a year ago. I see Quinn starting by the middle of the season, I really do. This was his dream to play for the Browns, and I think he will do a fine job there. As a dynasty owner I might want to take Quinn before Russell.
1.23 Dwayne Bowe WR, Kansas City Chiefs: Great situation for Bowe. Will he do well? He has a golden opp to do that as KC has an aging veteran and a lot of crap behind that at WR. Bowe has one of the best chances of all the rookie WR to come in and post numbers immediately. I could see owners investing a middle 1st round pick on this guy. They should see a return fairly quickly.
1.27 Robert Meachem WR, New Orleans Saints: He is going to come into a high powered offense which is a good thing. But he is also probably buried on the depth chart to at least a WR3 for the moment. He will have to learn a fairly complex offense too. Owners will say this is a great situation for him…I think it has a possibility to also not be an ideal situation for him. Bush and Colston are options 1 and 2…and you have Henderson, Copper, Jones, and Patten all in camp right now too. He will have to earn his way into the starting lineup. I do like what Meachem accomplished in college.
1.30 Craig Davis WR, San Diego Chargers: What were they thinking? I am sure Davis is a decent prospect but you had guys like Jarrett and Gonzalez with way more skills that were still on the board. They could have traded down 20m picks and still gotten this guy…I don’t care what AJ Smith has done to this point, so far the Chargers have made questionable moves since their loss to the Patriots IMHO. Is Davis more talented than Vincent Jackson…Floyd, Parker(probably)… just don’t see where he will make waves with LT and Gates already options 1 and 2. I would not invest a 1st rounder in Craig Davis both NFL and FF. I think when we look back he will be one of the WR in the 1st round that doesn’t make it. They can’t all succeed and he will be one of them.
1.31 Greg Olsen TE, Chicago Bears: Love the pick, love the team he is going to. Desmond Clark had a career year last season and he is getting old. Look for Olsen to learn the ropes year 1 and be ready for primetime in year 2. he has great speed and will be fine playing for Chicago. Good player with nice skills going to a Super Bowl team…recipe for success.
1.32 Anthony Gonzalez WR, Indianapolis Colts: I wrote a couple weeks ago when I took a flyer on him in one of the survivor drafts on this board that I felt he was going to be taken by the Colts…that turned out to be true. I love the pick, love the role he will play and I think owners need to take a good hard look at this guy. Best QB in the NFL tossing him the ball out of the slot. Harrison has a shelf life of probably 2-3 more seasons…this is going to be a very nice marriage between he and the Colts. Kid has speed, runs in the 4.3 area, can catch, runs precise routes, and can make things happen after he catches the ball. Every time I saw the OSU highlights this season you would see Gonzalez doing things that were special. Plus an injury to Harrison or Wayne and you have a starter for Indy on your team. Smart owners will really look at this pick.
2.04 Kevin Kolb QB, Philadelphia Eagles: What??? I don’t understand the pick, and there were better QB available. They have backups already, McNabb is the guy in Philly and on schedule to return as the starter this year. I would not invest a 1st or even a 2nd rounder in dynasty leagues on this guy.
2.06 Zach Miller TE, Oakland Raiders: I like the pick and think Miller can do well in this offense. Miller is not the speed freak that Olsen is but he was a good pass catching TE at ASU. Should start in Oakland within a couple of seasons. Oakland has a lot of average TE on their team.
2.08 John Beck QB, Miami Dolphins: Miami wanted a 2nd round QB the whole time which is why they passed on Quinn. I like this pick actually and while Beck needs work, he can sit behind hopefully Trent Green for a season or two. Cam developed Brees and Rivers, so you have to give him some credit that he can turn this guy into an NFL QB too. This is a guy you want to stash on your roster in dynasty leagues.
2.11 Drew Stanton QB, Detroit Lions: Project. And great news for Kitna owners. They dodge a big splash QB for a project QB that probably has a 50/50 chance at best for panning out in the NFL. Not a guy you have to have on your team.
2.12 Sydney Rice WR, Minnesota Vikings: If you look at Rice’s stats last season you will see he had monster games against inferior talent…that does not impress me. Plus he is a product from a Spurrier offense…how many Gator WR in the last 10-15 years came into the NFL with hype and fizzled out. DJax has done well but you have your Reidel Anthony, Jacquez Green, there are lots of them that came into the NFL and did not make it. I am very skeptical of Rice however he will have a chance to compete. I am not excited about the Vikings air attack right now, plus with the combo of Peterson/Taylor, they are going to become a running ball control type offense IMO. Many owners will spend a fairly high pick on this guy…he is a potential pothole to me.
2.13 Dwayne Jarrett WR, Carolina Panthers: You’re damn right I am going to hype him. What a steal by the Panthers. He is now going to a team where a WR that he is compared to is at the end of his career, and can tutor him on the game itself. Oh yeah and he has possibly the best most explosive WR in the NFL lining up opposite of him and Smith is going to be around for a long time. Jarrett time and time again made big play after big play against the best teams in college football. He had great Bowl games against Michigan who had a top20 DB pick that went in the 1st round…Jarrett abused the Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. But it is so much more than that. 41 TD catches in 3 seasons, owns many Pac-10 records for a WR. They guy is decorated and comes form a big program. He reminds me a lot of Michael Irvin…forget his 40 time, this guy can flat out play.
2.17 Kenny Irons RB, Cincinnati Bengals: Not going to be a RB I would reach for with a 1.04-1.06 pick in rookie drafts. He is buried at RB3 for the moment. Rudi is no spring chicken but he is going to play for at least another 2-3 seasons, so you have a guy that is a bit undersized and you are going to have to hold him with little return on a team that thinks pass 1st. I don’t like this situation much at all. Bad place for him to go.
2.18 Chris Henry RB, Tennessee Titans: Certainly there is room for Henry to see some action. From an opportunity standpoint this is close to ideal. White is not living up to his draft slot form last season to this point. Henry is very fast and we now are probably going to see a RBBC in TN for the time being. I am not that high on Henry though as a RB but he does slide into a great situation where he will be given a chance to perform quickly.
2.19 Steve Smith WR, NY Giants: Good pick, good team, good situation. I was not high on Sinorice when they drafted him last season. Smith can move ahead of him. Toomer is aging quickly so Smith might be the WR2…possibly the WR1 down the road on a team with a good young QB in Eli Manning. I like this situation but I do think it might take a year or two before we see big returns form Steve Smith.
2.20 Brian Leonard RB, St Louis Rams: Throw up city here. Odds that he will improve a FF roster now are about zero. Loved him in college and would have like to have seen him go to a team where they needed some RB help. Not going to happen here.
2.31 Brandon Jackson RB, Green Bay: Many owners are going to run and grab him at 1.04 now. OK, but lets not forget that Brandon Jackson is a lot different than and Adrian Peterson. He is not going to carry the ball 300 times as a rookie I promise you. I am betting you will see a RBBC with Morency, in fact I like Morency to have better stats year 1. Part of the reason Jackson left Nebraska as a Junior was because of the competition in his own backfield with sensation Marlon Lucky coming up the ranks. Don’t assume that he is going to walk into GB and be a stud…that would be a mistake. If he can’t be the best at his school than how is he going to dominate at the NFL level. I’m just saying…
3.07 Lorenzo Booker RB, Miami Dolphins: I said all along that this guy was way over hyped by a lot of board reporters…its nice to spotlight a guy but again we have a situation where he played for a big time college program and was very “meh”. FSU didn’t not know how to use Booker??? He simply is what he is…a backup NFL RB that does not have the size needed really to be an every down NFL starting RB. This guy has to go from a potential 1.04 pick in rookie drafts to maybe not till the middle of the 2nd round. I am not the biggest Ronnie Brown fan but he is the starter and have no delusions of Booker coming in and pushing him to the side.
3.09 Jacoby Jones WR, Houston Oilers…Texans: Houston really hasn’t addressed their need for a solid WR2. Jones has a chance to compete but you heard very little of him coming into the draft. Had only a 12 ypc avg last season. More of a return specialist IMO.
3.10 Yamon Figurs WR, Baltimore: Clayton is the WR1 in the making on this team. Demetrius Williams is making strides, Heap is one of the 1st options on the passing game too…not a great situation really.
3.11 Laurent Robinson WR, Atlanta Falcons: This seems like a black hole for almost any WR that ends up here…I don’t like the situation much.
3.12 Jason Hill, WR San Francisco 49ers: of the WR in this little bunch, Hill has the best chance for success IMO. Not much is in his way right now in SF. Even if they land DJax, I like the offense he is going to. There is a good chance for success here and I wouldn’t hesitate making room for this guy as a FF owner at the right spot in the rookie drafts.
3.13 Matt Spaeth TE, Pittsburgh Steelers: Behind Heath Miller already. Not a great situation but if Miller went down he would be part of what is starting to look like a decent passing attack in Pittsburgh.
3.14 James Jones WR, Green Bay: Driver is still only 32. Jennings showed an awful lot last season. The brittle Ferguson at WR3…its not out of the question he could see some action but Favre isn’t going to be there forever either. Jones is a guy you take a flyer on if you have deeper rosters.
3.15 Mike Walker WR, Jacksonville Jaguars: Just what Jax needs, another WR. Matt Jones, Reggie Williams, Earnest Wilford, Northcutt…where will Walker fit in?
3.17 Paul Williams WR, Tennessee Titans: Another mediocre WR for the Titans…hip hip hooray! I don’t get what the Titans are doing right now and most “experts” don’t either. A longshot here to be a productive WR in the NFL.
3.27 Tony Hunt RB, Philadelphia Eagles: Doesn’t fit in with their ideal RB but they need a guy near the goal line to punch it in and that’s exactly what hunt will do for them. Might not be a yardage monster but 6-8 rushing TD are not out of the question. Westbrook owners are not too happy with this.
3.29 Trent Edwards QB, Buffalo Bills: I like him long term. JP Losman may or may not pan out for the Bills in the next year or two. I like this pick and I think they can develop Edwards into an NFL QB given time.
3.30 Garrett Wolfe RB, Chicago Bears: Benson is no sure thing at RB I tell you. Wolfe would be an RB3 here but its not out of the question he could see action in Chicago. A good team with a solid OL, and weapons at WR and TE now…I wouldn’t reach for Wolfe but for owners that have deep rosters…and Benson owners, you gotta think about maybe picking this guy up at some point.
3.36 Johnnie Lee Higgins WR, Oakland Raiders: Cloudy right now. I like his talent but he is going to a team that has a lot of talent presently at WR. Still I like this guy’s talent and in a season or two things may be quite different in Oakland. Of the 3rd round WR I do feel like he was one of the best taken.
What say you? Sound off.
1.01 JeMarcus Russell, Oakland Raiders: You have to think Russell will start within a year or two if not sooner. I do want to point out and something that got swept under the rug was Oakland getting Josh McCown fro Detroit.

What say you? Sound off.

I don't care much about 2 TE formations...I just want catches, yards, and TD!
I see a lot of teams trying to emulate the Bears success last year and grab their own version of Hester.
