Top prospects for 2015

[yooperbacker]

I'm in total rebuild and have accumulated 4 1sts, 2 2nds, and a 3rd in a 16 team full idp ppr league. The 1sts should all be top 10 picks. Who are some rbs, wrs, and lbs to keep an eye on?

DLF has offensive devy ranks that you can also sort by year of draft eligibility. That's a pretty good place to start.

I know about the devy rankings and they are great for long term projection. I am more interested in a detailed look at the top prospects of 2015.

Gurley (Lynch with better hands IMO) and Ameer Abdullah (McFadden like with great hands) are my favorite RB prospects at the moment. Haven't gotten a great look at WR and LB prospects yet, but Cooper has looked great so far.

I don't see a McFadden comparison for Abdullah, he's shorter, stockier, and is much more of a side-to-side athlete.

McFadden can basically be described by a few words that no one would use to describe Abdullah:

1. Tall
2. Upright
3. Straight line

At RB: Todd Gurley (Georgia), Ameer Abdullah (Neb), Melvin Gordon (Wis), Duke Johnson (Mia), Mike Davis (S. Car), TJ Yeldon (Bama), Derrick Henry (Bama), Jeremy Langford (MI State), Karlos Williams (FSU)

At WR: Amari Cooper (Bama) [Appears to be cream of the crop so far], Justin Hardy (E. Car), Ty Montgomery (Stanford), Nelson Agholor (USC), Rashad Green (FSU). A couple guys injured right now are Devante Parker (Louisville) and Antwan Goodley (Baylor). And then the knucklehead that I'm not sure what's happening with is Dorial Green-Beckham. I think he last transferred to Oklahoma but was ruled ineligible to play for 2014. Not sure what will happen with him, but he's an uber-prospect with red flags on character.

Could Dorial Green-Beckham enter the NFL through NFL draft or Supplemental draft next year? Not really sure how it works with his off field problems. Maybe similar to a Josh Gordon situation?

He'll just enter the real draft. Supplemental is only if you missed the dealine declaring for the real draft.

This. He will be eligible to enter the May draft in 2015. If he were to not declare, and then changed his mind/got in trouble again, he could choose to go the Josh Gordon route and enter the supplemental draft.

Do you dare touch him with the new NFL policy on domestic violence in the 1st round? Has buckets of potential, but did drag a women down some stairs by her hair...

[Mike_Blahnik]

Not involved
A gave -Stevie Johnson/2016 1st
B gave -Jerick McKinnon

Sorry wrong thread! Reposting in completed trades.

Surprised no mention of Devin Funchess or Jaelin Strong.

[ConnSKINS26]

Or Stefon Diggs.

I'm not sure of his ability to handle lead back duties, nor whether he will leave a year early, but DJ Foster (Ariz. St.) has been super-impressive in his three games as the official starter at RB in Tempe.

54 carries, 510 yds (9.44 ypc), 5 TDs
11 recs., 139 yds, 1 TD.

Pretty impressive numbers for 3 games. He split his FR and SO seasons between RB and WR, but is playing full-time at RB now. Listed at 5-11, 205 lbs., he probably needs to add about 8-10 lbs. to handle the pounding of the NFL at RB, but he has great vision, speed, hands, amd lateral quickness. He reminds me quite a bit of DeMarco Murray.

I took him late in our devy draft this past summer, and have watched two of his games (Weber St. & @Colorado). He may be someone to watch for the 2015 draft if he comes out.

I'm a Michigan fan, and I somehow managed to forget about Funchess, lol. Yes, he's another one to watch. But for what it's worth, I think he's a fraud.
