I said my prediction, not where I would draft him. If that was the case I would slot him in 3rd overall where he belongs

I'm with you and got that feeling at the 42 drafts we sat next to each other in NY

[TheReckoner]

It was a crazy, crazy year in 2015, so let's look ahead to 2016 and see what the early rounds will look like. I think we're seeing a revolution in fantasy football with Quarterbacks falling to the 5th round and even later, while the Running Backs are no longer all going in the first two rounds. It's going to be a Wide Receiver-heavy draft in 2016 folks.

I'm not ranking any of these, but let's look at the first round. Will there be only 3 RBs in the first round or do you expect others to slip into that initial round? Here's an early guess from me:

1st Round of 2016:
Antonio Brown
Julio Jones
Odell Beckham Jr.
Le'Veon Bell
Todd Gurley
Adrian Peterson
Dez Bryant
DeAndre Hopkins
Rob Gronkowski
Allen Robinson
Jordy Nelson
DeMaryius Thomas

It's hard not to put Jordy in the Top 12 if he means this much to the Packers' offense. I'm not sure about Thomas, especially with the QB situation in Denver. Maybe Brandon Marshall deserves that spot. Maybe you can push David Johnson or Devonta Freeman into the first round after this year's performances. Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya?

I don't have these ranked in order, but let's see what you have. Who would be your Top 12 for 2016? What the heck, we have plenty of time to speculate. Let's see what you have. Thanks all.

I keep seeing Peterson in the 1st round and I'm shocked. This year I bought in with the whole Norv pass catching back narrative.. but it just didn't happen. No way should peterson be drafted in the first round IMO. Freeman even though he scares me a little is a better option in our setup. Take Peterson out and throw AJ in... Also replace Jordy with Brandin Cooks...

b]1st Round of 2016:
[/b]Antonio Brown
Julio Jones
Odell Beckham Jr.
Deandre Hopkins
Le'Veon Bell
Todd Gurley
Dez Bryant
Rob Gronkowski
Allen Robinson
DeMaryius Thomas
Brandin Cooks
Aj Green

[boutrous11]

Mine would be something like:
1. Antonio
2. ODB
3. Julio
4. Leveon
5. Hopkins
6. A Robinson
7. Gronk
8. AJ Green
9. Gurley
10. Freeman
11. Peterson
12. D Thomas
There are a lot of names I was trying to fit in but couldn't which I think means the 2nd round will be loaded w/ talent.

[BigBlueNation]

I'll throw out a "baker's dozen".

Julio
OBJr
ABrown
DHop
Cooper
Gurley
Dez
Gronk
Leveon
ARob
AJGreen
Alshon/SWat

A little different than others and QB situations will dictate a lot of these WR selections

[ForLoveOfTheGame]

My prediction of the 1st round next year......

1. Antonio Brown
2. Julio Jones
3. Odell Beckham Jr
4. LeVeon Bell
5. Dez Bryant
6. Devonta Freeman (Bust)
7. DeAndre Hopkins
8. Todd Gurley
9. Allen Robinson
10. Adrian Peterson
11. AJ Green
12. Jordy Nelson

You sure you don't want to put Lamar Miller in there? Cant wait to see where he goes when Dallas or New England or anywhere other than Miami signs him...

[JETS SB]

Top 3 is set in stone, in whatever order.

A Brown
J Jones
ODB
Hopkins
L Bell
AJ Green
Watkins
Gurley
D Freeman
A Peterson
A Robinson
Gronk
