Bears select Matt ForteRookie RB FFB analysis

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.

Change of plans. I’ll be running the live blog here on the NFL Source. On the draft site, you can also see the picks and analysis. Right now, the Pats are up at number seven. 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 readMiami Needs Almost Everything; Getting Jake Long Is a Great Start
