It looks like we will be going back to the LT days where there will appear to be a huge advantage at the front end of the drafts. I like about 9 of those players and then it looks like a cliff.

I think Mike Evans has to be in the conversation for top WR. Unless TB gets another WR or big upgrade at TE, he's a one man show there.

Those Top 3 RBs carry an enormous advantage over the field. I think we're going to see the merits of 3RR come into play again next season. I don't see any reason why those three RBs would decline other than a possible suspension for Bell. But all are young, immensely talented and on teams that will feature them. I'll be surprised if many people don't select 1-2-3 as their top 3 KDS preferences next year. I know that's where I want to be.

As far as a first round, I'd go something like:

1. Johnson
2. Bell
3. Elliott
4. Brown
5. Beckham
6. McCoy
7. Julio
8. Nelson
9. Green
10. Murray
11. Evans
12. Freeman

Just off the top of my head.

imo, even 3rr doesn't offset the advantage a top 3 pick will hold in 2017. another reason that for me, auctions are where it's at. DJ will cost a small fortune in an auction next year, and rightfully cripple his owner's bankroll.

I think 3RR will be an enormous help next year. The Top 3 picks in drafts without it will carry a gigantic advantage over the field in my opinion.

Top 3 guys are no brainers and could be drafted in any order. DJ & Bell are both great but Zeke's YPC was higher than the other guys and he runs behind best OL in the game. I'd go Zeke # 1. After that it gets more interesting, as it always does. Shady McCoy seems too low on this list. Legarette Blount has 17 TD's, bet you he's drafted in first 18 picks. Jordy keeps on producing. Brandin Cooks might make first round. Personally I wouldn't touch Howard in the first round. Bad team, coach might lose his job. Cutler's going to be released --- new system on the way.
