Top Pick in this years Rookie Draft.

[guyatwork37]

I'm assuming Watkins goes before Lee, but I'm guessing Bridgewater goes first due to the hype train and the premium on QBs.

Things will definitely change a bit, but right now I have it looking something like:

1.01 - Sammy Watkins
1.02 - Marqise Lee
1.03 - Melvin Gordon
1.04 - Lache Seastrunk
1.05 - Allen Robinson
1.06 - Teddy Bridgewater
1.07 - Eric Ebron
1.08 - ASJ
1.09 - Donte Moncrief
1.10 - Davante Adams

Want to watch more of - Carey, Sankey, Michael Dyer (Bryce brown type), Mariota, De'Anthony Thomas, Mike Evans, Tahj Boyd, Isaiah Crowell.

I thought I read that Gordon wasn't gong to declare? At least that's what he says right now. Things could easily change once his his agent tells him he's going in the first two rounds.

Gordon has spoken about wanting to come back and compete for the Heisman next year, but I think two things:

1- Season is still going. I don't trust anyone until after the season, his opinion might change or he might be lying to keep his teammates happy
2- He might want to stay in school, but I think it is the worst possible business decision he could make. Instead of being a top RB in a relatively weak class, he could become the RB4 next year even if he has an effective year.

[guyatwork37]

I'm sure an agent will come by and show him Lattimore's injury video and his draft position and related salary. Gordon will declare shortly after.

[Vendetta]

If Gordon comes out, he'll instantly be the best RB available and depending on team need would be the only other guy that could challenge Watkins for the top rookie pick. Mike Evans will likely be a top 5 pick as long as he runs a 4.5 or better.

Wow, lotta love for Gordon. I've watched a lot of Wisconsin games and watched a lot of the highlights from him and White. I personally don't think Gordon is ready for the NFL. His skill seems to be speed (obviously, that's not a bad thing!), but I don't see a lot else from him at this point. He hits a huge hole and just takes off. Doesn't seem to possess much lateral agility. Or, maybe he just doesn't need it? But I've seen some plays where he has one guy to beat (but doesn't) and he just tries to run past him instead of making a cut to change his direction just enough to make it. That is where White excels in my opinion. White has a great 'plant and go' move, he sticks his foot in the ground, changes direction and takes off. He doesn't have the top end speed that Gordon possesses, but he's very quick, has great vision, and seems to have some wiggle. He also knows how to use his blockers. Reminds me of Ray Rice honestly (just to make a comparison).

I need to see more of Gordon. Granted, he'll still be the top one or two rb's taken in fantasy drafts next year if he comes out, I'm just not convinced I've seen enough from him. Not that I know anything lol, I'm just saying what I see.


Also, Seastrunk looks pretty dynamic. He's my first rb off the board as of right now.

I would take Watkins,lee, and evans before Gordon.
A bunch of WR1's over a decent RB

[BadgerYou]

Lee a WR1? I think he has the biggest bust potential. I see him in the same light as Maclin, but maybe that is just because he hasn't had a solid QB to make him shine. Hope he proves me wrong, but I won't be taking him with a 1st round pick this year if i have a chance with one my 3 1sts.

Did you watch the game last week? Dude sold me.

When Barkley was slinging too him, he looked like an animal for a couple of years. Now imagine him with an NFL starting QB...

[daz49ers]

out side of the top 3 wr Watkins, Evans and Lee, ill be taking Seastrunk if he lands in the right spot in the draft, love his speed and his ability to catch the ball in passing game makes me excited to own him in ppr, kinda looks like a faster ray rice

[TheIDPGuy]

I agree with most of the commenters here. Been doing a decent amount of scouting this year's class myself and I'm fairly certain that this would be my top 5 for fantasy (assuming you have no positional need in particular):

1.01 Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
1.02 Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
1.03 Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio St.
1.04 Lache Seastrunk, RB, Baylor
1.05 Marqise Lee, WR, USC

Depending on fit, DeAnthony Thomas (RB, Oregon) could be a good option too, but I could also see him becoming the next Denard Robinson. Bishop Sankey (RB, Washington) might be nice if he lands in a good situation, but he doesn't have the destructive talent that Hyde and Seastrunk do. If you need a QB, I think it's Bridgewater all the way; assuming he goes to a team in need of a QB like JAX or HOU, he will be a starter and has displayed a massive amount of adaptability and poise under pressure, a huge component for me for QB success. Top TE option might be Eric Ebron (N. Carolina) or Jace Amaro (Texas A&M), but I don't see either being the immediate threat that players like Gronk or Graham were. Rookie TE's take a while.

No love for Gordon?

[BadgerYou]

Love him just fine, just hard to dethrone a top WR selection. Also rumblings that he returns for another year which probably hurts his hype.
