Round 1 (continued)
Posted by ffexchange under General, RB, TE | Tags: NFL Draft, Fantasy Football, Sports, LaMont Jordan, Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams, Tatum Bell, Marion Barber, Clinton Portis, Rashard Mendenhall, Willie Parker, Chris Johnson, Dustin Keller |11. Bills select Leodis McKelvin CB
12. Broncos select Ryan Clady OT
13. Panthers select Jonathan Stewart RB - i dropped both Stewart and DeAngelo Williams with this pick. This shows Carolina isn’t comfortable with Williams carrying the load, but I’m not sure Stewart plays as large a role as he would have if another team chose him.
14. Bears select Chris Williams OT
15. Chiefs select Branden Alberts OG
16. Cardinals select Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
17. Lions select Gosder Cherilus - I have to give Tatum Bell a big jump up here, not so much because Cherilus will be a big improvement, but because this shows Tatum Bell could be the featured back in Detroit.
18. Ravens select Joe Flacco QB
19. Panthers select Jeff Otah OT
20. Buccaneers select Aqib Talib CB
21. Falcons select Sam Baker OT
22. Cowboys select Felix Jones RB - This is where I thought Jones would go and had him and Barber ranked accordingly, but in looking back at it, I needed to drop Barber below Portis who I am liking more this year.
23. Steelers select Rashard Mendenhall - Both Willie Parker and Mendenhall slip significantly on my list because of this. I thought Mendenhall would have a better opportunity.
24. Titans select Chris Johnson RB - Johnson makes the list with this selection although I think it is a reach and he’ll be more of a 3rd down back. LaMont Jordan slipped off with this pick.
25. Cowboys select Mike Jenkins CB
26. Ravens select Duane Brown OT
27. Chargers select Antoine Cason CB
28. Seahawks select Lawrence Jackson DE
29. 49ers select Kentwan Balmer DE
30. Jets select Dustin Keller TE - Keller makes the list and will swap spots the player he likely replaces, Chris Baker.
31. Giants select Kenny Phillips FS
