NFL Draft: Fantasy Talk.

[FearThethumbandDJ]

I just want to see who you guys think will be big fantasy impacts, obviously guys like giovanni bernard and tavon austin have good potential, but who do you guys see as sleepers or will overachieve?

Im putting out a fantasy alert (unless you are in my league) for Matt Scott, the scouts absolutely love this guy and he goes as an undrafted FA to Jax. I think he will start at some point this year.

Who do you like?

I like Matt Barkley. I cannot imagine a Chip Kelly team not having a good offense.

[GamecockDad1531]

I think it says a lot about what teams think about their current players.

Cardinals drafted two backs (Taylor and Ellington). They must not think that Mendenhall and Williams are the guys. One back I get, but two?

Titans traded up to take Justin Hunter. What does that say about Kenny Britt and Kendall Wright?

You don't draft a RB in the second round and not expect them to contribute significantly early on. Cough, cough Giovanni Bernard cough cough.

The Rams didn't take a RB. Darryl Richardson must be the real deal.

Eddie Lacy and the back from UCLA are instantly one-two in the pecking order in Green Bay. But which will end up being the one?

Markus Wheaton for the Steelers may end up being a really good pick in about two years.

That's all I got.

I see Eddie Lacy being a solid rookie RB. Maybe 800 yards and 8-10 TDs

Tavon Austin is the obvious pick for likely Offensive RotY. I'm going to estimate 70 receptions for 1,000 yards & 40 rushes for 300 yards. 12 total TDs. I might be low balling him here.

I think the WR named Patton that the 49ers got will be a solid waiver wire PPR guy potentially. I just remember watching a game of his where he caught something ridiculous like 23 passes.

I think Tyler Eifert could be a top 10-15 TE at Cincy. A really talented guy.

And Cordarrelle Patterson definitely has huge upside. A bit risky but I think I will draft him if I can get him around the 10th round in my league.

I'm gonna reach and say Geno.

[1SCFanInPAUntilNow]

I think Keenan Allen will have a great season for the Chargers. Knile Davis may surprise some people. The Chiefs love using RBC but they were all terrible. Knile will be a very good 2 to the 1-2 punch with Charles.

For my biggest reach im going to say the Titans offense as a whole. They added Chance Warmack, Andy Levitre, Delanie Walker, and Brian Schwenke. Offensive line is a top 5 line and this offense will be completely different. I think Chris Johnson will return to 1st round fantasy value. You should be able to get Wright, Britt, and Hunter late due to people not believing in Locker.

[gotrice?]

CJ2K is the biggest beneficiary of the draft. He isn't a rookie but between FA and the draft his awful OL has been overhauled and he has a chance to go off and make someone very happy.

[gotrice?]

Also based on the last couple of years EJ Manuel will be worth taking a last round flier on if he beats out Kolb. Mobile QB who will get his share of running TDs in a more vertical version of the West Coast offense which has received some weapons via the draft.

[JohnnyB21]

Also, I'd take the detroit D just for the d-line.

Yes, richardson is definitely worth reaching for in drafts this year, but i think Lacy landed in a really bad spot for his fantasy stock as the packers rarely have a workhorse and hardly seem to run the ball.

[I Bleed Garnet]

Tyler Eiffert

[Ericvol2096]

Tavon Austin will have the biggest fantasy numbers next year, IMO.

[RY4N]

You guys are giving me a couple of really good ideas on some low risk/high potential value picks to take a shot on in mid-later rounds.

[Mt. Lattimore]

As far as rookies go, keep tabs on Montee Ball

This. Word from Denver is that the coaches plan for him to be the starter.

Expect Lacy to start in Green Bay, but I wouldn't draft him as quick as most - when was the last time Green Bay ran the ball enough to have one back put up great fantasy numbers?

Ryan Grant, I'd say.

As far as sleepers go, I'd say Justice Cunningham.
