Deepest rookie you can think of that could turn out to be the next ELITE player?

    Think Tom Brady or Arian Foster or Terrell Davis kind of deep, and to that high of level fantasy wise.

    Bad Example: Anyone near top 1-8 overall rookie value. That's too easy. I'm expecting to hear some "Tom Savage will be the next Tom Brady" etc... not saying that's mine, that's just an example of the kind of deep I mean.

    Adams= Keenan Allen?

    Moncrief is another for me...though obviously not this year. I think Jarvis Landry could absolutely be a wes welker clone for years to come
    Bold Predictions:
    Cordarelle Patterson replaces Josh Gordon in the top 5 WR group.
    (Julio, Calvin, AJG, CP, and Dez)

    Andre Williams proves himself to be the best RB in this class, by having the most productive rookie season of all the rbs.

    I think the most likely answers here will be RBs or QBs. It's very rare that a WR comes out of nowhere and becomes truly elite. Pedigree means a lot with WRs.

    With RBs, we know opportunity is a HUGE factor. With QBs, being successful is about so much more than just measurables and physical ability, there are intangibles involved. That's why I feel it's much more likely for a QB/RB to come from nowhere and become elite than it is for a WR.


    2014 predictions

    (3/16) Toby Gerhart will have 1400 total yards and 8TDs
    (3/16) Cobb will outscore Allen in PPR

    John Brown ARZ-TY Hilton 2.0 in arians offense, very similar in size and speed as well and they used a 3rd Rd pick on him so hes going to get a shot.

    Brandon Coleman....colston up there in age and Coleman is a big body receiver who can get it done. Needs some work but I think as an udfa Coleman is a steal.

    James white RB New England. The hoody loves rotating rbs and vereen and Ridley are in contract years. In a year like this with 2 rbs in contract and a new rookie who stood out in college after ball left I think white could take over if given a shot this year.

    Funny you bring up the next Brady. I posted this in a similar post before the draft.
    Look no further than Jeff Mathews, UDFA, Falcons. If Matt Ryan were to go down, we could see Mathews bust a Brady.

    Give me Jeff Janis. I really like the film I've seen on this guy and truly believe he was the best WR Green Bay drafted this year. Not sure he gets a chance to shine this year but he could become a name to watch entering the 2015 season.

    If we are talking rbs then it's Andre Williams hands down. He's still the best one in this class to me..easily

    I'm with Luke. These guys are super talented, but have off-field issues that caused them to go undrafted. I think they are worth late picks to add to your roster.

    Missed the original post for some reason. I totally agree with these as well. Enourmous potential if they get their sh** together.

    Spent my 2.07 in DC-1 on Crowell after missing Andre Williams who went at 2.06. Was sure that Crowell would not make it back to me in the 3rd round.

    Alas, I took Latimer at 2.05 hoping that Williams would make it to 2.07. Not sure that Latimer would have made it to me at 2.07, had I taken Williams first. Well bdd, would Latimer have made it back to me?

    I think so as well, Colston could easily become a cap casualty before his contract ends.

    I agree with this is well, he could be a real steal.


    I think Zach Mettenberger could turn into something if he stays clear of the smoke.
