Overall
Draft Grade:
A
The
Cardinals were able to land the best QB, 1st or 2nd
best G and the 3rd best TE. Gabe Watson can be dominating
if he can stay motivated. The rest of the picks were
questionable but by the time you get to the fifth
round, all players have question marks.
Fantasy
Impact:
Significant:
The Colts of the West. This team should put points
on just about every drive. Leinart will start as the
backup, but in 2007 he should be starting. Pope will
be given every chance to start. Lutui should help

Overall
Draft Grade:
B-
We
love Tye Hill. We love the drafting of a TE, but two?
Seems like overkill to us. Wroten has a lot of question
marks but he could be a great pick eventually.
Fantasy
Impact:
Moderate:
You have to figure that one of the two TEs will
make it. The early lead goes to Klopfenstein.

Overall
Draft Grade:
B
Jennings,
Tapp and Sims have a chance to start from day one.
Sims was underrated out of Ohio State and Seattle
was wise to get a guard after losing Steve Hutchinson.
Fantasy
Impact:
None:
Kirtman can catch the ball, but will be used as
a blocker for Alexander. Obomano will be lucky just
to make the team.

The Niners hit with both
of their first round picks. Davis and Lawson will
be opening day starters. The Niners drafted 3 WRs
and each of them are projects.
Fantasy
Impact:
Significant:
Davis
is a stud. Robinson has tons of talent but he's learning
a new position and so far he's struggled. Delanie
Walker could be a find in the sixth round.
