Yesterday, I gave my take on who my fantasy top 10 for the 2008 NFL season. Today, I give a fantasy top 10 again, but this time around, it‘s all about the rookies.
For several of the teams picking 17th through 24th, last season ended early in the playoffs or just shy, so the first round of the draft presents the opportunity to nab a player at a key position that will help them turn 2007‘s disappointments into celebrations in 2008.
The 1996 NFL Draft class was one of the best ever for the wide receiver position. That class saw the emergence of future NFL greats Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens from the collegiate level to the NFL. This year, many experts are predicting an equally impressive crop.
Dozens of draft prospects went into the NFL scouting combine looking to improve their draft standing by impressing the plethora of scouts and coaches in attendance in Indianapolis.
From the sure bets to the sleepers, just about everyone had a little something to prove and improve.
There may be no Randy Moss or Jerry Rice in this year‘s crop of wide receivers, but teams looking to upgrade their receiving corps should be able to find someone to fit the bill. This solid, deep pool of players has a good mix of speed and size to complement any NFL roster.
