      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 agree with you on Hyde. I was hoping he'd be my sleeper pick this year in rookie drafts. I hope he's no where near the 1.03 range come draft time.
      2013 predictions

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

      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 didn't say those guys aren't first rders. Watkins, Evans, and Lee clearly look the part and 1-2 other WRs could sneak in. I'm just saying I would take Julio or AJ with a top 5 pick, if I were an NFL GM. The guys in this draft I probably wouldn't take top 10. And in terms of fantasy, I have all 3 in my top 5, so it's not like I hate them. I like more polished wrs and that's why I favor Evans and Lee. Evans has been amazing in the games I've watched him. Lee has polish to his routes. Watkins has good size and speed, but he's not a giant and I'd like to see him be more physical against press coverage. Look, I'm no Todd McShay, I'm just giving my opinion. I also don't value WRs as much as some others may when it comes to dynasty drafts. The bust rate is just so high.

      I agree with the thought process, but if you have a slim shot to acquire a stud WR in today's NFL, I feel like you have to do so. Plus it seems much easier to get decent RBs in later rounds of rookie drafts.

      Speaking of McShay, I have some of the preliminary WR draft breakdowns below, just for the heck of it. Should be interesting to see how these change. A couple are mock drafts and some are big boards. I did this because I watch some college football but not as much as many of you (other than the Badgers), so I haven't seen these guys live as much as most. I only looked up Watkins, Lee, and Evans because no one has a WR rated higher than these 3 right now.

      McShay - Mock Draft
      Watkins
      Lee
      Evans

      Kiper - Big Board
      Watkins
      Lee
      Interestingly not in the Top 25 - Evans

      Matt Miller - Mock Draft
      Watkins
      Evans
      Lee

      Scouts Inc - Top 32
      Watkins 
      Lee
      Evans
      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

      Texans will eventually take Bortles.  He is the best QB and will be obvious after the Baylor bowl game and combine.  Guy is a top fantasy pick also maybe around  1.5.  Watkins and Evans to me are both very impressive, slight edge to Watkins right now.  Apparently the Steelers are really targeting Watkins.
      I don't trust Adam Schefter and neither should you!!!

      Taking Bortles in the first 10 spots would setback a franchise a few years.  He is a good QB, but I really think he should be a borderline 1st round QB, but I know he will get hyped and go high like Gabbert did.

      Where'd you hear that about the steelers?
      Bold Predictions:
      June 21- Dez Bryant finishes as the #1 WR in 2013.

      That isn't true.  Teams don't target players in December before they are eliminated from the playoffs.

      The more I see Carlos Hyde the more I like him. I think he is a faster version of Eddie Lacy. If he gets into the right situation he could be awfully productive. I have not watched much of Seastrunk so I need to see some more of him.
      QB Russell Wilson, E.J. Manuel and Terrelle Pryor
      RB David Wilson, J Stewart, Benny Cunningham, Johnathan Franklin, Willis McGahee, Rashad Jennings, Mike James,Bobby Rainey, Jordan Todman and and Green-Ellis
      WR AJ Green, Deandre Hopkins, Vincent Brown, Doug Baldwin and Keenan Allen
      TE Jimmy Graham, Jordan Reed and Jermaine Gresham
      PK Bryant and Novak
      DT Green Bay and Carolina
      PPR - Start: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK and 1 DEF.

      I am actually now "A.J. is my guy"

      Since I'm in PPR, hopefully one of these backs can also catch the ball. I'd love to have another Le'Veon Bell on my roster.
