Who are the Biggest FANTASY Winnners/Losers of the Draft (1 Viewer)

A loser that hasn't been mentioned yet - Jonathan Dwyer. Didn't get drafted in the first 3 rounds.

Yep. This is shocking. He was in the running for the top RB in the class in February, now he's still sitting there in the fourth round. I'm really interested to see where he goes, I think he's a major value in the late first of drafts now.

I'm pretty sure most people had him as THE top running back at that point. Crazy how colossal his slide has been.

Never made any sense as to why he would be in that top group though. Below average speed, coming from an option system. No receiving or pass blocking skills to speak of.Hes probably a complementary back to a more well-rounded starter.

Losers: Texans and Browns RB's.

Stupid Browns! GAWD!!!!!

I've watched him for three years at Georgia Tech, and I have to say I vehemently disagree with those statements. That said, there's a reason he hasn't been drafted.

Massaquoi and Robiskie - the Browns did draft any other WR's and McCoy has to be an improvement over Quinn/Anderson.

Could CJ Spiller have gone to a worse place for a small/speed back?

While Buffalo has had big backs ever since, Thurman Thomas did fine there.

I think Buff was one of the best spots he could have landed.

Agreed...he will be the featured player there...what else do they have that can break a game open? Jackson is a good back...but older...Lynch (who has elite skills but a 2 cent head is a goner).

Winners:

Clausen - Though it probably hurt like hell for him to slip that far into the draft, he landed in one of the best spots possible.

Mathews - There should be no doubt who the #1 rookie RB is now.

Romo - Gets another great weapon.

Gore/A. Smith/V. Davis - Clear investment into the Oline shows confidence in their abilities. Also the addition of Ginn will greatly help stretch the field.

C. Palmer - Though they don't use the TE a great deal anyway, Gresham's should give him a great short option and safety valve.

Loosers:

Slaton - Tate is going to significantly eat into his touches if not take over the featured role altogether.

Harrison - See above only replace the names with Harrison and Hardesty.

R. Williams/Austin - Having Dez in town is bound to reduce their number of targets.

Royal - If it wasn't clear before it is now. He isn't going to be a WR1... ever.

Orton - I don't know what to make of the Tebow pick but whatever it is it can't be good for Orton.

Stock Up:Aaron RodgersRyan Grant(the Packers stole a top 10 OT with the 23rd pick)

I have said this in other threads as well, but I will repeat here. IMO, Bulaga is vastly overrated. He may be an improvement over what the Packers currently have, but in no way do I think he is a top 10 talent. I hope he does well though, the Favre-less Packers are one of my favorite teams to watch.

When a player was talked about top 5....and then has 3 OT's go ahead of him, a Guard, and a Center.....then slips to pick 23......it has to leave people questioning.Kind of like their must be a reason Clausen is slipping...he just isn't a steal(think Brady Quinn here).

Aaron Rodgers was talked about being the top overall pick and he slipped down to the late first round. Seemed to work out pretty good for the Packers. That's not to say Bulaga will be a pro-bowler but I don't think much stock can be put into whether a player slips or not into the last half of the 1st round. Aaron Rodgers got killed last year before Clifton and Tauscher stabilized the OL later in the season. Bulaga gives them insurance at either position, a good thing for both Rodgers and Grant.

There are several more things that need to NOT happen still, but if those things don't happen I think Forsett is big winner. I guess he's a winner so far. At least through the first round.

Good point - but several things now have. Forsett may not only not have much value, but actually may be on the outside looking in, in terms of the Seattle backfield.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

I really think Adrian Peterson was helped with the selection of Gerhart (dynasty-wise). He may lose some TD's but saving on the wear and tear should help - especially if it goes to an 18 game schedule next season. Also, the selection of Gerhart means more opportunities for 3rd down catches than if they would have taken Best in the first round.

 

[Ed Wood]

Vernon Davis gets a big up, I would think. I didn't see a lot of the 49ers last year, but however much he was in to block could get cut in half now.

Perhaps. I put some detailed thoughts in the thread specifically dealing with the trio of Forsett/Washington/White. Quite honestly, I could see all three players accumulating better stats under different conditions.

 

[finito]

Ahmad Bradshaw/Brandon Jacobs are winners IMO - lot of chatter about the Giants grabbing Spiller if he was available.

Maroney... maybe. Shocked NE didn't go RB at some point.

Forsett is a wait and see I think. Yes, it could easily have been worse if Seattle had taken Best or Spiller or whoever, but White/Leon will compete. Someone will be the odd man out, will probably be one of Forsett/Washington. Washington is a mild winner, goes to a team which may use him more than the Jets were planning to.

Josh Freeman is a winner - now hopefully paired up with some talent at WR.

Slaton/Harrison losers as mentioned earlier.

Eddie Royal is a long term loser perhaps, though I don't think Thomas will be ready for a while and Royal could be in for something of a bounce back season.

I really think Royal will be helped by both Thomas and Decker. It will allow Royal to play the slot exclusively. He will excel in that role.
