Atlanta Falcons – Roddy White   Chris got ragged on a little bit for selecting Steven Jackson as a “sleeper”, but he was right in doing so.  So I’m going to take a page from his book.  I’m not going to make up some reason why you should draft Michael Jenkins.  Really, I don’t see the Falcons throwing the ball much more than they did in 2008 and Tony Gonzalez is going to cut into Jenkins’ production, rather than opening up opportunities for him.  I’m not going to make a case for Jerious Norwood.  He isn’t going to get much playing time. ... 

Buffalo Bills- Dominic Rhodes   While Fred Jackson has been Marshawn Lynch’s handcuff/semi-relevant platoon-mate for a couple years now, Dominic Rhodes brings better value and more upside to the table.  Years in the pass-happy Indianapolis offense have made Rhodes a competent pass-blocker and receiving back.  Additionally, unlike Jackson, he has shown flashes of deceptive power in his stout, five-nine frame.  While his value would obviously be at its peak during Marshawn Lynch’s three game suspension (assuming it happens), Rhodes can still remain... 

I’m going to have to go ahead and go against Steve here. Clearly there was a lot more going on this weekend than the Broncos taking a RB that is already drawing comparisons to Kevin Faulk. Have to go with the first real surprise of the draft, the Jets moving up to pick Sanchez. I have to say, I did not see this coming. In fact, with word out of the Browns camp leading up to the draft, I expected Sanchez to be a Brown. Sanchez gives the Jets a viable starter for years to come, and they got him at a great price. Some might look at the amount players traded... 

Just a few quick notes about the main fantasy-relevant moves of this year’s NFL draft.  There really wasn’t much to talk about, though. -          By far the biggest move in the first round of the draft (fantasy-wise) was Denver’s selection of Knowshon Moreno.  Barack Obama’s first TV interview went to Al-Jihad News (or something like that).  The message, even more so than “we’re not perfect, you human-trading wife-beaters” was “look at me!  I’m not Bush!”  Josh McDaniels has done the same, taking the first chance he could...
