    Posts: 255
    I know we've seen similar posts about 2014 prospects, but this is a little different (I think). Since needs are all different, I'm just seeing who you think is Top 5 based on ADP in rookie drafts, assuming everyone declares.

    PPR, Dynasty. Should be fun, since this will change 1,000 times between now and then, and when Smitty releases his new format Feb 1st.

    1.01 - Sammy Watkins
    1.02 - Melvin Gordon
    1.03 - Marqise Lee
    1.04 - Mike Evans
    1.05 - Teddy Bridgewater


    Dynasty PPR, 2QB IDP, Kick Return Yardage Points
    QB: Big Ben, Bradford, Tannehill, Manuel, Glennon, Keenum
    RB: Gio, L. Bell, CJ2K, L. Miller, P. Thomas, Ellington, Lattimore, L. Murray
    WR: V-Jax, K. Allen, Wayne, S. Smith, T. Williams, Hartline, Givens, S. Hill, M. Brown, Brazill
    TE: Witten, Reed, Cook, Ertz, Kelce
    K: Gostkowski
    DE/DT: Wake, Ware, M. Williams
    LB: D. Johnson, Mayo, Cushing, Timmons
    DB: Honey Badger, Ward, M. Wright, Vaccaro

    I liked him more than Hyde. Seemed to have more burst to me

    I guess I can remove Gordon. I just read Matt Miller's notes on Carey and it sounds good (good runner, can catch the ball and block), but I've seen very little actual tape.

    I'm impressed with him. Much more so than hyde...I think his stock falls considerably before the draft

    No.  I think that happens once every 10 years lol.
    Predictions

    [ ] Percy Harvin will be a top 5 PPR wide receiver, outscoring Cobb
    [ ] Danny Amendola will be a top 15 PPR wide receiver
    [ ] Russel Wilson will be a top 4 QB
    [ ] Denario Alexander will be a top 15 PPR WR

    I think he's the best of both AJG & JJ. Julio's athleticism, but faster, AJ's hands.

    Isn't Julio 3 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier?

    I've heard a lot of people say things like this. I've been impressed with what I've seen/read about him.  He's definitely legit.  I'm also really intrigued by Jordan Matthews from Vandy.  If I had to guess at this point I'd say guess:

    1.1 Watkins
    1.2 Evans
    1.3 Lee
    1.4 Seastrunk
    1.5 Matthews/Teddy
    12 Team Dynasty
    QB: Newton, Foles, Bradford (IR)
    RB: L. Miller, R. Bush, L. Bell, Vereen, Michael, Helu, J. Bell
    WR: Dez, Marshall, Mi. Floyd, Thompkins, A. Holmes, Streater,H. Douglas, Alexander (IR)
    TE: Gronk, Cameron, Reed

    I don't think Watkins is better than either, and of course situation is important, but I actually expect him to be in the same tier as those two. And yah, that is saying a lot

    I don't think he's better that AJG or JJ now. I do think his ceiling is extremely high. He's already the same body type/athleticism as JJ & Dez. I don't think a poor situation will affect him as much as others...i.e. Patterson.

    I really think Patterson's numbers have only been hurt by his lack of involvement schematically. They just don't get him enough touches. Even if they had a better qb, they just aren't giving him enough touches. I mean...he catches almost everything they've given him and has made several amazing plays already...I want Frazier out

    1.1 Lache Seastrunk
    1.2 Mike Evans
    1.3 Carlos Hyde
    1.4 Marquise Lee
    1.5 Sammy Watkins

    If Seastrunk doesn't come out, I would move everyone up one and add Bridgewater at 1.5.  I love Seastrunk's potential, but it depends on landing spot.  Evans is the most well-rounded WR prospect, despite some questions about his long speed.  I think he'll be a target monster, so I'm a fan in a PPR.  Hyde is the surprise at 1.3, but I think he will succeed where so many Big Ten backs have failed in the past.  He has incredible leg drive and is nimble for a big guy. Obviously the 3 WRs fit in the top 5, but the question is where.  I put them in this order based on how ready I feel they are to contribute.  I like to get immediate impact out of dynasty picks, not wait two years to see how it goes.

    I like Evans too but probably not that much. I don't question his long speed...I question his short-area quickness as it relates to route running and consistently getting open.

    Yeah, I don't dislike Watkins, I just don't see a future elite WR when I watch the guy. I'm honestly luke warm on this rookie class. I don't see a Julio, an AJ or anyone like that. The QBs are good, but not great and I see flaws in all the wrs. I have a mancrush on Seastrunk, but he's not getting much love from the scouting community. This is a better drsft than last year, but not by too much. 2015 should be a great draft, especially for rbs (Yeldon, Gurley, Gordon)
  • emurrell17 December 22

    Well I disagree on the wrs..I think there are about 3-4 first round talents at wr. And I think some will end up in great positions..

    Watkins

    Mike Evans

    Marquise lee (browns?)

    Allen Robinson (Carolina? Could be fantastic there)

    Brandin cooks

    I think Watkins has potential to be a perennial all-pro. The kid has great hands, great burst and great long speed. I don't see any attributes he's lacking. I also like Lee. If he can stay healthy, he could be elite too.
