This is not for redraft, it is 100% for dynasty purposes.
Some of these players might take a few years to blossom but talent eventually shows.
qb-
1) Matt Barkley- Extremely accurate and smart qb who got put in a great situation with a great offensive minded coach.
It might take him a year to get on the field but this was Chip Kelly's only hand picked draft pick in this last years draft. Once Barkley takes over the reins I think he will be a very accurate and reliable starter for 10 years in the NFL and they have the weapons for him to put up very nice #'s
2) EJ Manuel- Will start during the first year and be a very good fantasy football qb due to his ability to rush and pass. The talent is getting better around him as well (Spiller, Stevie Johnson, Woods etc). I would feel safe in saying he will be a top 15 qb year in and year out starting 2014 and for the foreseeable future. (A lesser talented Cam Newton)
3) Tyler Wilson- This time next year Tyler Wilson will be the starting qb for the Raiders due to Matt Flynn being a less than good NFL qb. The weapons aren't great in Oakland but the new regime is trying to turn things around. I believe they will have a top 5 pick in the draft next year and will be targeting a premier WR. Wilson is a natural leader with all the physical tools (-speed) and a huge arm, that you need in a franchise QB. While no one will mistake him for Andrew Luck he will be the guy in Oakland.
rb-
1) Michael Christine- The best combination of speed and power in the draft IMO. As of now he will play behind Lynch but Lynch is a knucklehead and will screw up again eventually. Put this guy behind that line with his talent and we are talking top 5 potential. When I watch him run he just has it..........Perfect size, attitude and catches pretty good also. He might take 2-3 years but he is well worth the price you have to pay as long as you are committed to him for the long haul. Sitting behind Lynch might actually be a good thing for him so he can get totally healthy.
2) Marcus Lattimore- Again, gonna take a bit for him to get on the field but a perfect landing spot for Lattimore. He goes to a very good team with a veteran RB who has 1-2 years left of high production before he needs to be a full go. Lattimore by far would be the first pick in all dynasty rookie draft had he not had the injury he had. It will probably not allow him to get on the field at all this year but I think he will slowly start to take over Gore's gig next year. Lattimore is a smart rb with great size and above avg speed when healthy. Again, a perfect team for him to go to and sit to get healthy. Be prepared to have to spend a top 10 pick (in rookie drafts) to get him and hold him for the future.
3) Le'Veon Bell- This is a guy who should be productive from day 1. He has no competition (IMO) and will get a lot of carries and td attempts. He is an above avg receiver and a perfect fit for a good Steeler offense with a young and talented oline. 6-1 230 lbs and runs a 4.52 40 yard dash.........Sounds like he was made to wear the Gold and Black. The only bad thing about Bell is the early pick you will have to spend on him.
wr-
1) Robert Woods- This guy is the most polished product coming out of college into the NFL this year and will start day 1. He will have the advantage to grow with Manuel and build a good rapport with him. Woods got overshadowed at USC last year by Lee but was a projected first round draft pick heading into the year. You should be able to get Woods in the teens in your rookie draft and he will start paying dividends day 1. You are looking at a guy here that will have a long consistent career.
Don't mess out on him
2) Marcus Wheaton- The Steelers have a good history of drafting wr's and I think they hit a home run again. Wheaton should be getting a lot of work this year as maybe the #3 wr and might earn the #2 by the end of the year but eventually he will be the replacement for Mike Wallace. Todd Haley like to pass downfield and Wheaton is that threat. I love this kid, give him a 1-2 years and he will be a top 15 wr.
3) Keenan Allen- Phillip Rivers is missing that tall gifted wr since Vjax left (and held out), enter Allen. Allen had probably the worst started qb in college football throwing to him last year and still was able to put up descent #'s. Gates is older, Floyd is a waste and while I like Brown, he might now be the big time wr they need (good compliment though). SD has a new regime coming to town and I think Allen starts day 1 (Cause I have no confidence in Denario Alexander staying healthy. I think you can get Allen late 2nd round in most rookie redrafts and he think he offers huge value at that point. I still think Rivers is a good qb. he just needs better coaching, better blocking and better talent at the wr position. 1 thing Rivers has shown is he can make players very relevant if he trust them.
Let me know what you think. I know these guys are on most radars but I think more of them than most I think
