The
Ravens moved up one spot in the first round to get
the run-stuffer they needed in Ngata and only had
to give up a 6th round pick. Chester is a good OL
prospect but we're surprised they didn't pick up another
lineman elsewhere in the draft. Williams was a nice
value pick in the 4th and may be able to develop into
a quality receiver down the road. They may have waited
too long to nab a safety to replace Will Demps.
Fantasy
Impact:
Minimal:
Chester may help the OL in the long run but we doubt
you'll see an immediate impact. Williams could develop
into a nice receiver but he won't get much playing
time in 2006 to be a fantasy factor.

We
don't think the Bengals did enough to stregnthen their
run defense. Joseph was a nice pickup for their secondary,
but the should have continued to fortify their run
defense,not stopping with the addition of Sam Adams
in free agency. Whitworth was a great pickup in the
second round that will pay off down the road.
Fantasy
Impact:
Minimal:
Whitworth will start on the O-line one day, but he
may just be a backup this season.

Overall
Draft Grade:
B+
We're
suprised the Browns passed on Ngata. Big, run-clogging
lineman are hard to come by and Ted Washington isn't
exactly in his prime. That being said, Wimbley should
make an impact in 06' as a pass rusher and Jackson
should see playing time as the season goes on. Wilson
could be a guy to keep an eye on, as he could develop
into a quality No. 2 receiver. Minter and Oshinowo
were great value picks near the end of the draft and
Jerome Harrison could make an impact as a third down
back.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
Minimal:
Romeo Crennell likes to take his time with his rookies,
so don't expect Wilson to make a significant contribution
until next season even if Braylon Edwards is slow
to come back from ACL surgery.

Overall
Draft Grade:
B-
The
Steelers may have given up a lot to move up and get
Holmes, but he is a great addition to their receiving
corps. Smith looks like the eventual replacement to
Chris Hope. Orien Harris was great value in the 4th
round and could develop into a decent end in the 3-4
defense. Cedric Humes has had some injuries, but he
is a bigger back that could see some goal line carries.
Fantasy
Impact:
Significant:
Holmes was the most pro-ready WR in the draft and
should make a contribution in his rookie season. Humes
could see some goal line carries if he makes the team.
