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...

Why you playing games with my heart? If he signs with Dallas, I might just replace my Felix Jones jersey with his.......

How would forte look on pats or Doug Martin in Dallas ? It will be an interesting offseason.

Totally agree. A few RB's that could land in the right spot and they'll easily go in round 1. They might anyway, RB's always go high. Not to mention a lot of people's first rounds have 3 players who have had surgery already or are going to (with Dez coming up). That's a lot of risk for your first round pick. I bet Cooper goes in the first round by the time the drafts actually get here.

David Johnson first round if he has big playoff run and forces cards to commit to him as feature back next year.

Antonio Brown (just the safest player on board)
Beckham (showed consistency this year and can win you a week by himself)
Julio Jones (struggled here with this pick. They have to get a WR2 and improve that line and Ryan I'm just done with but you can't ignore the numbers week to week) safe.
L. Bell. if healthy, you simply can't go wrong. i think D. Williams plays another year after such a great performance. Just make sure you get D. Williams if you take Bell. Hate having to do that but there is no better handcuff (used to be kniles davis, but next year's is WIlliams.
Freeman (just a solid PPR back but this is a decision i wouldn't want to make)
Gurley (they need a QB and Wr's) i really think he'll just get better. can't be worse offense. and he did pretty good.
David Johnson. Will be starter but i just worry about taking any RB in 1st round.
Allen Robinson. just consistent.
Dez Bryant (comeback player of the year easily)
GRONK
D. Thomas (can go so many ways here but he's still solid).

The most underrated guy here has to be DeAndre Hopkins. He has put up 104-1432-11 with no QB and no other offensive threats around him. This is amazing. If Houston gets a few additional weapons and/or a quarterback, Hopkins could be even better. He will be a top 10 pick in most leagues next year and I wouldnt be surprised to see him drafted top 6, after the big 3 are off the board.

Hopkins could also be a prime candidate for a let down.. i love him.. and maybe if foster comes back healthy.. but it's hard taking him in 1st or 2nd round.. i think there are safer guys, but he won me lots of $ this year..

love him in auction formats though..

Some of these guys being mentioned are really a throw of the dart.
Call me crazy but I'd take Cam in round one before guys like Jordy Nelson, certainly before D. Freeman, even before Dez.

Who is going to throw Dez the football next year? Romo seems like he's about 50 years old and he's coming off an injury.
Todd Gurley? Bust written all over him. He had 5 good games this season, doesn't catch passes and plays for a bad team.

Nothing like a good chuckle to start the new year


I'll admit I have a biased opinion of Hopkins, but I think it's for good reason. If anyone watched all of his games, you wouldn't find it difficult taking him in the 2nd Rd next year. Watch all his catches this year. He's the closest thing to OBJ in terms of catching the ball. He had the most impressive year I have seen from a WR in a long time when you consider who the QBs were throwing him the ball. (Hoyer, Yates, Weeden)
