    #2 is really growing on me. Great hands, burners, love the attitude. Carolina seems like a perfect fit for both sides. Make an impact right away, Smith's numbers would likely get better with another legitimate threat, then this guy could eventually fill Smith's role.

    I agree. I've thought that for months! They need a slot and a big guy though

    Yeah, I like him a ton. Agreed on the Steve Smith improving stepping into the No. 2 role, of course they'd probably share it for half a season while the rook transitioned, but it's a great spot. I just hope #2 doesn't get drafted by Detroit, or Dallas, or San Diego, etc. The last thing we need is him to be forced to be a No.2 for the long term.

    that's the thing I like about #2 right now^^ where he seems most likely to be drafted is at the bottom of the 1st- which is where a lot of wr needy teams are. (CAR, KC, NE) so I think/ hope he'll be thrown into one of those situations. You'd think for KC, Alex smith would love to have an underneath weapon to just toss short passes to with a chance to take them the distance. KC probably makes the second most sense IMO. NE is a good fit for #6

    This for me as well. In early fantasy mocks, I've seen him being taken in the mid 2nd all the way down to the early 3rd. If this trend continues, he could be the WR steal of the year compared to where he was drafted. Like Allen or TWill was later in the draft in 2013.
    2013 predictions

    -Cobb outscores Harvin in PPR
    -Chris Ivory will be a top 15RB
    -Kenny Britt finishes outside the top 20WRs

    Love this class of WRs. Almost like RBs this year with the importance of landing spot as they are all special in different ways.

    @branch0095 The good news is yes, in early drafts he is a steal,  but the bad news is he won't be later if he has great workouts and combine. If he doesn't, then it's up to luck in terms of him landing in a place that will start him. I don't see how a team overlooks him honestly, but drafts are strange. My guess is he impresses. Shocking he isn't hyped much right now given his stats. That's what DC is here for and that's what all you on the forums are here for... to point it all out.

    Yeah, this class of WRs is strong. But, as I always say, no one should trade the 1.01 or 1.02 or even 1.03 until the landing spots get handed out. The values of those picks go up a ton once you start attaching names to those picks.

    Last year's running back class was called week, and what did people do? They traded the 1.01 for nothing. I remember see a ton of those posts on this very forum. Lacy, Gio, Stacy and Ball and maybe Bell soon enough... that class turned out ok, did it not?

    Great stuff Smitty!!


    Ok, Number 3, he makes the catch look effortless with nice hands
    and can catch in traffic. What also worries me is that the competition
    he played against, he still wasn’t getting separation in any of the
    catches from what I could see. That worries me a little bit.


    Number 6 on the other hand, seems like he can get separation, can be
    hard to bring down, and can also go up and get the ball in traffic.


    QB: Brady, Kaepernick
    RB: McCoy, Miller, Stacy,F. Jackson, Lattimore, R. Jennings, Gerhart, L. Murray
    WR: Cruz, Blackmon, Gordon, Jeffery
    TE: J. Thomas

    Will have to drop to 12 before draft

    Agreed. #6 has the highest ceiling I think. He isn't my favorite in this class, but I think he could be a monster at any one of Carolina, NE (if he slips into the second I think that's a real possibility), Detroit in the 2nd...now that's scary. See, that's why I don't buy that Detroit has a 1st round need at wr..look at what they can get in round 2!

    I think I've read all of the write-ups and watched the videos several times now. How am I supposed to wait until May for the draft?! I need another hobby to fill my time.

    It doesn't help that I have the first two picks in the rookie draft, which isn't until August. I might just go crazy between now and then. 8-}

    It is pretty nice. Got the 1.02 in an early season trade (I'm sure he didn't think he would be bad enough to give up the 1.02). Also have the 1.09 (1.01, 1.02, 1.09). It's 7 months away but I'm already giving it some thought: it's a 2 QB league, so do I grab Watkins and the highest rated QB, or grab two WR's since we start 4 and I could use depth there, or best RB and best WR...yep, way too early for all that thought, especially with no draft or combine yet, but I can't help it.
