Rookie RB FFB analysis

Every now and then a receiver or a quarterback comes into the NFL as a rookie and makes a significant statistical splash. Finding that guy? It's a crapshoot. That's why the fantasy focus on NFL Draft Day belongs on the running back group. Look at what Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch did last year. This year's running back class? It's even better, and much deeper. Here's my first-glimpse fantasy ranking of the guys picked on Day 1. Darren McFadden, (1.4), Oakland: Oakland's offensive line read

Bears Day one Draft Grades

Rd 1 Chris Williams Ht: 6-6 Wt: 317 College: Vanderbilt Scouts say: “Williams shows the athletic ability to be rated just below Jake Long.

Sorry I haven’t been able to do the first six picks. The only surprise for me was Glenn Dorsey going to the Chiefs, as I actually thought he’d slip by. Oh, we have a trade. The Saints are now on the clock, and they’ll likely pick Sedrick Ellis. I guess New England didn’t have a stand-out player. 7th Pick: Saints selec read

Miami Needs Almost Everything; Getting Jake Long Is a Great Start

Filed under: Dolphins, AFC East, NFL Draft, Miami, Featured Stories In case you've been on some business trip this week, you've known all along that Jake Long was the #1 pick in the draft.
