Amazing run on them in the 3rd. I thought Aundrae Allison would be gone too.

Calvin Johnson should be pretty effective.Not sure about the rest of them.

Just went to Minnesota. Minnesota passing game = Very raw with a lot of upside.

5.35 Legedu Naanee (Boise State) to San Diego Chargers

Looks like a practice squad guy, maybe an NFL Europe guy, who could develop in a few years. (It's also possible that he could make the active roster immediately because of his special teams value covering kicks and punts, but I wouldn't expect him to contribute on offense for a few years, if ever.)

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

1.30 Craig Davis (LSU) to San Diego Chargers

He'll probably challenge Eric Parker and Malcom Floyd for playing time this year. It is certainly possible that he could end up starting. But he probably won't have fantasy value as a rookie.Dynasty-wise, who knows?

Is anyone excited about ANY of these guys?

From a dynasty perspective, I like Gonzalez to the Colts. A crisp route runner + an accurate QB could mean good things in 2008 or 2009.

This one caught my eye...

1.27 Robert Meachem (Tennessee) to New Orleans Saints

I am not sold on Devery. He's got speed but iffy hands. There is already talk about Devery manning the slo, which makes me think he's a situational player. The Saints were thrilled and surprised that Meachem fell to them, as they were likely keying on defense with R1. Meachum has a great opportunity to put up good rookie numbers in a lethal offense. I think the offense will take on a more conventional air next season. Meachum could be poised for a breakout season.

A couple people mentioned that Gonzalez was only good because Ginn drew all the coverage away from him. That makes me a little nervous about his long term prospects, although the Colts certainly have people to draw coverage away from him.

 

[ericttspikes]

Dallas Baker in the 7th seems like good value. Hines is getting older. Holmes looks solid. Wilson and Washington got some opportunities and didn't seem to do much with them last year. Not sure who else Pitt has at WR, but Baker might get some chances over the next few seasons if he sticks.

I'm assuming Gonzalez will move right into the slot, right? If so, I think Indy is the perfect place for him. I doubt he'll be an elite WR, but I had Stokely the year he went off and think this guy is much more talented than he was. Gonzalez seems like a great guy to get late in FF drafts, who should out produce other late round WRs, especially in straight up scoring leagues.
