Breakout WR Candidates for 2008 (1 Viewer)

[Ed4252]

I'm interested in hearing what people have to say about the WRs that could breakout in 2008 (according to the 3 year rule):

This could be a good thread for owners that are looking to stash WRs entering their 2nd year in dynasty leagues that have "taxi squads"

Take a look at this list from the 2004 nfl draft:

Rd Sel# Player Pos. School

1 3 Larry Fitzgerald WR Pittsburgh

1 7 Roy Williams WR Texas

1 9 Reggie Williams WR Washington

1 13 Lee Evans WR Wisconsin

1 15 Michael Clayton WR Louisiana State

1 29 Michael Jenkins WR Ohio State

1 31 Rashaun Woods WR Oklahoma State

2 50 Devery Henderson WR Louisiana State

2 54 Darius Watts WR Marshall

2 62 Keary Colbert WR Southern California

3 77 Derrick Hamilton WR Clemson

3 78 Bernard Berrian WR Fresno State

3 82 Devard Darling WR Washington State

4 99 Carlos Francis WR Texas Tech

4 105 Samie Parker WR Oregon

4 108 Jerricho Cotchery WR North Carolina State

4 120 Ernest Wilford WR Virginia Tech

5 134 Johnnie Morant WR Syracuse

5 149 Maurice Mann WR Nevada

5 157 D.J. Hackett WR Colorado

5 163 Drew Carter WR Ohio State

5 164 P.K. Sam WR Florida State

6 168 Jamaar Taylor WR Texas A&M

6 171 Triandos Luke WR Alabama

6 195 Jeris McIntyre WR Auburn

6 199 Clarence Moore WR Northern Arizona

7 206 Mark Jones WR Tennessee

7 211 Sloan Thomas WR Texas

7 214 Jonathan Smith WR Georgia Tech

7 216 Patrick Crayton WR N.W. Oklahoma

7 244 Derek Abney WR Kentucky

and you'll notice a quite a few WRs that could be WR4 or better in 12 team dynasty leagues: Fitz/Roy Williams/Reggie Williams/Evans/Clayton(?)/Devery/Berrian/Cotchery/Hackett/Drew Carter. The 2004 nfl draft was a good year for WRs though.

Who are your picks from the 2006 draft that could be WR4 or better and then ones that could breakout and produce 1000+yard seasons?

5 147 Jeremy Bloom WR Colorado

6 171 Mike Hass WR Oregon State

6 172 Jonathan Orr WR Wisconsin

6 184 Adam Jennings WR Fresno State

6 190 Jeff Webb WR San Diego State

6 193 Reggie McNeal WR Texas A&M

7 218 Todd Watkins WR Brigham Young

7 231 Bennie Brazell WR Louisiana State

7 233 Devin Aromashodu WR Auburn

7 249 Ben Obomanu WR Auburn

7 251 David Anderson WR Colorado State

7 252 Marques Colston WR Hofstra

7 255 Kevin McMahan WR Maine

Colston

Santonio

Jennings

Marshall

S Moss(Toomer gone soon?)

T Wilson(no real competion for the WR#2 spot for CLE except Jurevicius)

Hagan

Stovall

Brad Smith

Demetrius

Domenik Hixon are candidates that I believe could be WR4 or better in 12 team leagues.

What are your thoughts on Chad Jackson's situation? Moss and Stallworth are both signed for one-year. Is it likely NE will keep both of them after this year? If he shows the Patriots that he's recovered from the ACL injury mid-season, next year might be his shot.

hmmm 100+ views and not one response... I guess it's too early to discuss possible WR prospect breakouts for 2008.

Or maybe .......

 

[semaj33]

Or maybe .......

isn't that thread for this year?I think he is going for 08.... 2 years away

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If that be the case...yeah I still have some hope for Chad Jackson...

He was a 7 foot high jumper champion...(he wasn't on your list of draftees though)

Obviously you still have Marshall and Colston....

but in two years...you might see Brad Smith and Jeff Webb doing something as well if they get some playing time....

and who knows...maybe even Martin Nance...another UDFA like my boy Baskett....might do something in Minny...in 2 years...

and in 2 years obviously the rookies from this year will be coming around as well...

~theres my 2 cents...

Getting away from the 2006 draft though, I REALLY like Bryant Johnson, WR Ari. He is, I believe, gonna be a free agent after this season and I dont' know if they are gonna pay him to keep him. I think he can excel with another team if given a chance.

Hackett should have a good year with DJax gone. I really thing S. Holmes is poised for a great year. His last 4 games were very productive and he was targeted alot in those games. If he can build on that he should be in for a great year.
