Draft Le'Veon Bell 3rd-4th round

-Maclin was a steal last year. Curious to see where he goes in drafts, then how he does. Overall I think there will be enough doubt that he'll go where he should, which will be a round higher than I'm interested in.

-I got K.Benjamin in all leagues last year, I like him this year.

-I like Kevin White, as long as he lands somewhere with a QB and he can get to WR2 by mid season.

-TE: Unless Gronk falls to the right spot for me to take him, I like Kelce

maclin is prob a very late pick

I have a very very strong feeling Kelce is going to get the Patterson treatment last year. Where every rotodude is going to write an article about him and he's going to end up a 3rd round pick.

Fred Jackson is going to do his best Sproles impression this year, vulturing all of Shady's goal line work.

[supershopper]

brandon marshall/eric decker may be late round steals, likewise with big ben

[yuja]

Salivating at dat AP late 1st

and Kelce

Not touching any of the eagles/saints RBs

I like Stills in Mia this year, with him and landry running routes Mia should have a good air game and tannehill is starting to play better

[Madvillainy]

brutal year for the top of the draft, as most of the top RBs have major question marks:

bell - 3 game suspension
peterson - how does he look coming back?
murray - the heavy workload "curse"
lynch - age, seahawks are always a threat to start phasing him out
mccoy - new team, bad year last year

that leaves charles, forte and lacy as other 1st round caliber backs, maybe foster as well. i would assume most would put charles at 1.

I say lynch is still easily a top 5 RB, they just paid him again so they wil continue to ride him, bell will still be a late 1st rounder, i think we will continue to see an RBBC with the majority of teams

I love charles. Unless he has a freak injury (like falling on a lions mascot) he should be productive. He might not finish number 1 but you can bet he should be top 5

Always fun to watch a draft and think about how it effects fantasy value of that player, players on that team, and their opponents.

ya that's all i think about

What do you guys think about the RBs that were drafted this year? Any doug martin/lacy rookie candidates?

Melvin Gordon

Yeldon

and I can't remember any other names, going to bed now

[HughBMyron]

coleman in kyle shanahanananas zone scheme

[PushPull21]

I'm curious to see what the rookie receivers do this year. Got some talent, but don't think you can top last years rookie class.

[imajoey]

Melvin Gordon gonna be hnnng, Ap will bake...

[Benihanas]

I think Cooks takes a huge step forward in Nola, but they start shifting towards the run. Ingram a lock for RB1 this year.

Like Stills' setup in Miami, think him and Jarvis (who should also be a great later round pick for solid #2, borderline #1 production)

Another guy who should see a boost is Wallace going to the Vikes, he'll still have all of the production he had as a Dolphin but now might actually be able to connect on a few of those deep balls, think of what that would mean in terms of his production...

Colts O is a big situation to watch, lots of weapons for Luck is great for his already awesome stock, but not so great for Hilton, Johnson, Moncreif, etc. situation to monitor IMO

There's way too much to get into right now, so many interesting storylines that are going to be played out, so many new players, coaches, schemes, etc. I'm really excited.

Interested to see what Kevin White does in Chicago too, prob nothing Odell Beckham like but could be a Brandin Cooks/Sammy Watkins type. I'd fly him over Watkins this year

WR will be deep this year, watch guys like Dez, Julio, Demaryius, Antonio, and Odell go off the board early and steal your production later, this year more than ever I think it's going to be SUPER important to make sure you have a locked in RB set given how deep and productive WR is

Ive been looking at mock drafts and everyone has him still going in the first round

[Ejjw18]

Lol this. No way in hell lasts until the 3rd-4th round. Most mocks I've seen have him going as a top 5 pick.

[idz21]

Ryan Tannehill may be a big late round sleeper at QB this year, after a strong 2014 campaign.

Miami's WR is the best its been since his arrival. And now he's got two red zone threats in Parker and Cameron. Parker is probably going to be the most productive rookie WR from this class, especially in the redzone. He fits Miami's system to a T and catches everything he touches. Jennings still can run, jack of all trades skill set. Stills isn't all that much different than Wallace. Hopefully his chemistry is better w/Tannehill than Wallace's was. Last but not least, Landry should pick up where he left off. Then add in Jordan Cameron at TE and suddenly, Miami might have a great passing attack.

Is it September yet?

[yuja]

Is it September yet?

sadly, no

[HughBMyron]

Jimmy G week 1 must start

book it

[Sparta11]

I wanna see what the plan is in Philly. I can tell you right now that Ryan Mathews isn't going to sit back and watch Demarco carry the ball 20 times a game unless he's getting his lions share as well. If Mathews can stay health he's very capable of being a top 15 back. Is Philly gonna run it 40-45 times a game?

I still say Cooper will be the most productive rookie wr, With that said, he very well could end up being the most productive. Huge jump ball ability. I think it just comes down to the play of Tannahill and Carr.

I personally don't want to touch that phily backfield unless its matthews late.

They will both go down by about game 5...
