The
Texans made the right move by selecting Williams with
the first pick. He will finally give the Texans defense
a player that other teams will fear. Ryans was good
value as most had him projected to go in the first
round. Both Spencer and Winston address the team biggest
need, OL. They will develop in 06 and become starters
in 07, if not sooner.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
Minimal:
If both Spencer and Winston catch on quick, they could
provide David Carr with the added protection he has
lacked. We expect some growing pains and rookie mistakes
that may make it another rough season for Carr.

Addai
is a good back, but he's no Edgerrin James. Jennings
could be a decent 3rd corner but they secondary isn't
the Colts major need. Other than Keiaho, we were surprised
to see no other player for the front seven drafted.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
Significant:
Addai will compete with Domanique Rhodes for the starting
RB job, but expect Rhodes to come out on top. Addai
will still receive some significant playing time as
the season goes on. Draft him as a backup RB in the
mid to late rounds of your draft, the Colts offense
has too much potential.

Marcedes
Lewis was a solid pick for the Jags, since they have
had no threat at the position for a few years. Drew
will be a solid backup and change of pace back who
could also contribute in the return game. Webb was
great value in the 7th round.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
Significant:
Lewis should be able to make an impact as the season
goes on. His combination of size, speed and hand will
make him a factor in the passing game. Drew will only
make a contribution if injuries strike.

Overall
Draft Grade:
B
Young
could either be a great pick or a huge bust, only
time will tell, but it was a gutsy pick, we'll give
the Titans that. We think Leinart made more sense.
White was good value in the second round and will
push Chris Brown and Travis Henry. Mahelona was a
good pick for depth along their defensive front.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
Moderate:
Depending on what the Titans do with Steve McNair,
Young could see some playing time in 06. We expect
Volek to get most of the playing time though. White
could see some significant scoring opportunities in
goal line situations. Keep an eye on him as your draft
moves along.
