Has anyone done a 2007 Fantasy mock rookie draft yet? (1 Viewer)

[LC512]

Out of sight out of mind indeed.

Peterson is the best player in this draft class and it's not even close.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I think Adrian Peterson at 5 is too low. Definately top 2, IMO.

Ted Ginn Jr right now reminds me of Peter Warrick.

Maybe to you he does, but to me he looks VERY talented, with both speed and hands. He may be the best WR in the draft, and yes, that includes Mr. Johnson.

No way Ginn is a better WR prospect than Johnson. Calvin will be rated as highly as Larry Fitzgerald, if not higher. In my mind, there is no player in this upcoming draft that is more of a sure thing than Calvin Johnson.I'll reiterate what bugs me about Ginn, which is that lack of bread and butter WR skills and polish. Sure, he can outrun a DB, but can he outleap a DB? outmuscle him in close space for a ball? outsmart him with a crisp route (which would be lethal with his quicks and speed) ? In college, he's always five yards beyond the nearest DB, or making them miss and then flying past them on short catches. That's not going to happen very often in the pros. He'll be a one trick pony if he doesn't round out his game (but it's a quite a trick).

No use sandbagging because you know I'm just gonna ruin it anyway

 

[walkwithme]

The list is pretty accurate for skill positions. The only thing is I don't see a QB selected in the first round next year. Quinn is good, T. Smith, Brohm are all good but I don't think they will be picked in the first round.

 

[SproutDaddy]

Out of sight out of mind indeed.Peterson is the best player in this draft class and it's not even close.

If I had the #1 pick in a dynasty rookie draft, depending on depth at my RB position and age factors, I'd take Johnson over Peterson at this point, but I think AP is slightly overrated.

Exactly.C. Johnson is a thicker and more technically proficient version of Fitzgerald. That's saying something, as Fitzgerald was The second coming at WR coming out of Pitt. Fitzgerald damn near walks on water off the field...SUPER high character kid...and I think C. Johnson fits that mold too. At least that is my understanding and, given the boom/bust at the WR position and need to hit on a Top 10 pick, it is going to matter.

I agree with the feeling that Ginn might find life much more difficult on Sundays. Oh, he'll win the beauty pagent on his Pro Day, which is to say he'll have great measurables, but I do not see him having skills at the WR position that will easily translate to Sundays. Ginn will be someone that will have to learn to play the position of WR at the pro level.

At offensive skill positions A. Peterson and C. Johnson represent the greatest low risk/high return investments in this upcoming class. Everyone else is substantially behind in 3rd place.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom any thoughts on the IDP guys in this draft class?

Patrick Willis and H.B. Blades stand out as tackle machine LBs, and Gaines Adams is a beast of a DE. I'll have more well-formed opinions on the IDPs during the pre-draft season. The skill players generally make deeper impressions when I watch games during the year. I can say that this year's LB class is not as exciting as last year's terrific LB crop.

Sounds to me like your 1.01 pick is on the market then, eh? I agree with Otis--I see a big 3 of Calvin, Marshawn and AP, then a big drop to the 2nd tier of guys who will be ranked according to who/where they go to in the draft.

You conspicuously left Lynch out. I don't think he's as extraordinary as Johnson or Peterson, but he's almost as risk-free. He runs low and powerful, changes direction and makes efficient moves with the best of em, he's a great receiver to boot.I think he's a better RB prospect than Laurence Maroney or DeAngelo Williams.

It's not in stone yet that I have it, but likely now that KJ is done. Problem is a can't move very far down to get my man. It limits my levrage with Uig!! and at the same time

Probably just me but I am not as high on Lynch as other folks. My feeling is that there is a fairly wide margin between Peterson/Johnson and the players rated 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. This is specific to offensive skill position players.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

Looks like there are big drops after pick #3 and pick #8 this year. Also think that Ginn is somewhat in a tier by himself at #4 due to unreal physical talents. After 3 they all have some question marks, so might as well roll with the question mark who has the most upside.

Adrian Peterson

Calvin Johnson

.

Marshawn Lynch

.

.

Ted Ginn

.

.

-(the below group is interchangable at this point, the NFL draft will seperate them out some)

Kenny Irons RB AUB

Dwayne Jarrett USC

Michael Hart RB MICH

Michael Bush RB LOU

 

[JayMan]

Top 15 tierings based on pure talent (obvisouly, scenario will shuffle these up a bit)... in parentheses are those that I think will stay in school... 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE type league:

A.Peterson - RB

C. Johnson - WR

---

M. Lynch - RB

---

T. Ginn - WR

D. Jarrett - WR

M. Hart - RB

---

(S. Rice) - WR

---

B. Quinn - QB

M. Bush - RB

K. Irons - RB

---

(B. Brohm) - QB

J. Russell - QB

J. Higgins - WR

T. Smith - QB

J. Samardzija - WR

QBs ---

Quinn is a great pro prospect / playing well in a NFL environment already - very unlikely to bust at the next level... then, there are question marks... Russell might become a CPep clone - which is saying alot... Brohm will be a good NFL QB - one that you could start week-in week-out in your FF lineup... Smith showed that he steps up at the right time - but he obvisouly has height issues - will he be Bress-like?

RBs ---

Peterson is the clear-cut 1.01 pick - power/speed/workhorse enough said... Lynch is the other RB stud in that draft - every aspect of his game translate perfectly to the pro game... Hart has showned more potential than Irons in my opinion lately - Irons seems small and not a bruiser NFL-type-RB to me... Bush is the intriguing pick - will it be Bettis or Shelton? Probably between the two - but where in that range?

WRs ---

The most intriguing prospects are Ginn / Jarrett / Rice - they all could end up being consistent top10 WRs but there are drawbacks - risk issues it seems (Ginn needs to polish his receiving skills - will Jarrett become BMW II? - Rice will probably stay in school and only played great against lesser opponents so far if I recall correctly)... Johnson is in a class by itself (strength / speed / hands / routes / overall physique)... Samardzija is a less risky pick in my opinion than the first 3 guys mentioned above - but the return on investment might not be the same also... Higgins is intriguing also - need to see more of him

 

[aposulli]

Based on predicted ADP alone (the orginal poster's question), here's the list I came up with:

For Dynasty purposes, non-IDP, TE required...

1. Adrian Peterson, RB, OU (Jr)

2. Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal (Jr)

3. Calvin Johnson, WR, G Tech (Jr)

4. Brady Quinn, QB, ND (Sn)

5. Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn (Sn)

6. Michael Bush, RB, L'ville (Sn)

7. Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC (Jr)

8. Sidney Rice, WR, S.Carolina (So)

9. Kenneth Darby, RB, Bama (Sn)

10. Ted Ginn Jr, WR, OSU (Jr)

11. Brian Brohm, QB, L'ville, (Jr)

12. Jeff Samardzija, WR, ND (Sn)

13. Antonio Pittman, RB, OSU (Jr)

14. Drew Stanton, QB, MSU (Sn)

15. Tony Hunt, RB, PSU (Sn)

16. Jason Hill, WR, Wash St (Sn)

17. Robert Meachem, WR, Tenn (Jr)

18. Troy Smith, QB, OSU (Sn)

19. Lorenzo Booker, RB, FSU (Sn)

20. Greg Olson, TE, Miami (Jr)

This list assumes Michael Hart, JaMarcus Russell, Chad Henne and most other unlisted Juniors will stay in college.

Obviously alot will change based on the teams these guys go to.

 

[coolnerd]

RB names to become familiar with. I believe any if not all of these will get drafted over more known, but uninspiring talent like Kenneth Darby.

Dwayne Wright- Fresno State

Jon Cornish- Kansas

Colby Smith- Louisville

I have not seen him play (the others I have), but

alonzo coleman- Hampton

I like this mock draft, but i personally would move Quinn down about 5 slots. I wouldn't take a QB over a nice WR prospect like Rice or Jarrett, or a RB.

 

[patrickmcgroin]

Thanks for the effort guys!

[quote name

10. Brian Brohm QB LOU (Jr)

Lacks ideal size, but has great accuracy and awareness. Great leader as shown by his ability to flat out win.

Granted.....I'm not a Brohm fan, but what makes you think he lacks ideal size? Brohm is listed at 6'4" and 224 lbs. 3 lbs. lighter than Quinn and the same height. I'd rather have Quinn, but Brohm does not lack size.

 

[super sleeper]

I think if Brian Leonard lands in the right situation, he will be a factor in this discussion. An athletic, pass-catching FB in the mold of Mike Alstott has the potential to be a star and a TD machine. I would take him in a dynasty league over some of the second-tier RBs on this list. If he ended up in Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Miami, etc. he could be huge.

I haven't had the opportunity to watch him this year much, but Cornish played well before, and I've heard good things from friends in the area. Almost certainly not a day one pick, but a special teams player who might be able to make a splash when he earns the chance.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Bumping to keep this topic around. Lots of folks will say that we need to wait until the draft to do this, but I like getting some opinions based purely on talent and not opportunity.

Assume that Rice, Brohm and Bush stay in school.

My Predicted top 12 in Dynasty leagues:

1) AP - Top of the line, injury worries are overblown

2) Calvin Johnson - Phenomenal talent, fantasy teams with a need at WR should almost take him #1 overall

3) Marshawn Lynch - very safe, complete RB

4) Brady Quinn - A billion Notre Dame fans out there, so a bunch must play fantasy football

5) Ted Ginn - Again, too high in my opinion, but people love speed and he will impress

6) Kenny Irons - I'm not sold on him, but RBs usually go earlier than they should

7) Robert Meachem - My projected "pre-draft WR super riser due to measurables" guy this year

8) JaMarcus Russell - Good value here, he will be a very good fantasy option in the NFL

9) Tony Hunt - My projected "post-draft RB super riser due to team/situation" guy this year

10) Dwayne Jarrett - BMW fears drop him for fantasy, good value here

11) Kenneth Darby - Underwhelming to me, people reach for 2nd round RBs at the end of the 1st every year

12) Antonio Pittman - Won't get a ton of love, but could be a very good NFL back

Nice list. Russell should be higher. For fantasy, he might be a better prospect than Quinn (destination will sort that out). Jarrett over Hunt is questionable. Hunt is not a starting quality NFL RB - not that he couldn't be one of the top backups, and a fantasy commodity when he does get to play due to injury or a weak RB corps, but for dynasty, his value is limited. Same with Darby. Honestly the RBs are pretty weak after the big 2 this year - I think Pittman and Hart (and Irons) project better than Hunt or Darby.I think you'll see at least one of Hunt or Darby fall to the second day, and out of first round consideration. I also think Troy Smith will deserve some consideration, and any number of 2nd tier WRs (my favorite being Higgins).

 

[jenkins]

Brohm is going to stick around UL for another year. Put him way up on the '08 list.

I don't disagree with most of that, but this was more a list of what I think the average draft order will be, not what it should be. I think people will grab Quinn too high, jump on some RB that goes to a team that needs one (Shelton, Arrington) and jump on a WR based on his measurables.

Approx. where do you see the top ~ 6 guys getting taken in a start up Dynasty league that includes both veterans and rookies?

I want to hear what Construx says, but I'll give you my take on his top 6eterson - top 12-15 RB, top 20-25 overallJohnson - top 15-20 WR, top 40-50 overallLynch - top 15-20 RB, top 30-40 overallQuinn - top 12-18 QB, top 75-100 overallGinn - top 25-35 WR, top 75-125 overallIrons - top 30-40 RB, top 100-125 overall

 

[offdee]

Approx. where do you see the top ~ 6 guys getting taken in a start up Dynasty league that includes both veterans and rookies?

Based on a 14 team league initial Dynasty Draft....Adrian Peterson- late 1st/early 2nd round (top 12-20 overall)Marshawn Lynch- late 2nd round (top 25-30 overall) (goes before Calvin Johnson in an initial draft because always a big run of RB's early so Lynch falls in line)Calvin Johnson- 3rd round (top 35-45 overall)Ted Ginn Jr.- 6th round area (top 75-90 overall)Brady Quinn- 7th/8th round area (top 90-100 overall)

 

[The Jacket]

Year after year after year after year, the top rookies are NOT exclusively first- and second-round draft choices.

Having the ability to find the "diamond in the rough" is what will seperate you from the crowd.

I think those are pretty good bets, but I would probably put Quinn down further like 20 - 25 among QBs because I don't think that most owners will take rookie QBs real high in a dynasty league. Just too much evidence that solid QBs can come from later in the draft and be solid starters.

I would agree with your general point . Quinn is that high more because of the weakness of the Qbs after 15 or so than because I am high on him - He would probably fall closer to the tail end of the overall rank range.

 

[Colin Dowling]

I'd take Peterson first in this draft just as I'd take him over Reggie Bush (1st last year), Kevin Jones (1st the year before) and so on and so forth. The idea that taking anyone else is even in play is a shock to me.

 

[beef]

peterson should easily be #1 like colin has stated.

there is no chance brady quinn makes my top 20.

 

[lod2005]

That was Kevin Jones 3 years ago. The correct pick 2 years ago was Frank Gore. I would take Marshawn over Peterson. His game will translate more to the NFL. Peterson will find the injury list the way he runs. Just like similar sized backs like Chris Brown. Speed is overrated and Bush found that out.
