2019 NFL Draft: Seahawks Select L.J. Collier

Fantasy
With the 29th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected TCU DE L.J. Collier Collier had 11.5 tackles for a loss and six sacks in 2018. He lacked some experience as a starter in college but came on late and impressed at the Senior Bowl. Collier can begin to replace Frank Clark, who was actually traded to Kansas City for this selection earlier this week. Collier is a hungry and determined rusher who can also line up at different spots on the defensive line. Pete Carroll likes to move his linemen around and…

2019 NFL Draft: Raiders Select Johnathan Abram

Fantasy
With the 27th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders selected Mississippi State S Johnathan Abram The Raiders came away with a player that harkens back to their glory days of decades ago with an intimidating striker who could become a real difference maker in the secondary. Abram seems destined to become a force who will deliver a load of hurt against RBs and make pass-catchers think twice about going into traffic. Abram is an impressive prospect who can be a tone-setter as the Raiders move ahead in their…

2019 NFL Draft: Raiders Select RB Josh Jacobs

Fantasy
With the 24th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders selected Alabama RB Josh Jacobs Jacobs scored 11 TDs and averaged 5.3 yards per carry in 2018. He is a fine blend of power and deft moves, and he can also catch passes out of the backfield. He is also coming fresh out of college, having not been overworked as he enters the NFL, so that makes him even more of an appealing dynasty pick. Jacobs has excellent vision and nifty footwork and change of direction moves, and he works very effectively inside. But he does…

2019 NFL Draft: Packers Select Darnell Savage Jr.

Fantasy
With the 21st pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers selected Maryland S Darnell Savage Jr. The Packers dealt up to get Savage, who is undersized for a pro safety, but he has superb athletic ability and instincts. He had seven interceptions over the past two seasons and can close on tracked passes very quickly. He hits hard and covers well and may be able to help Green Bay as a slot defender. He used to play RB, illustrative of how athletic he is, but Savage could also get overmatched by some bigger offensive…

2019 NFL Draft: Minnesota Select Garrett Bradbury

Fantasy
With the 18th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected NC State C Garrett Bradbury In 2019, Bradbury won the Rimington Award for the nation's best center. He is regarded as a prospect who can come into the NFL and start right away and become a mainstay of the offensive line for a very long time. He was lauded for his high football intelligence and versatility in college. The Vikings filled an obvious and major need by addressing a unit that badly needed an anchor to start guiding the unit back to…

2019 NFL Draft: Redskins Select QB Dwayne Haskins

Fantasy
With the 15th pick in the 2019  NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins selected Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins The Redskins did not have to trade up to get their man as Haskins slipped further than many analysts predicted. Haskins fills an obvious need for Washington as they have all but lost Alex Smith and cannot lean on journeyman Case Keenum. Haskins has drawn pro comparisons to Drew Bledsoe and he is a solid pocket passer who throws a very good deep ball. But he lacks mobility and extensive starting experience in college.…

2019 NFL Draft: New York Jets Select Rashan Gary

Fantasy
With the 12th pick the Green Bay Packers selected Michigan DE Rashan Gary This was a bit of a disappointment to Green Bay fans as the Packers were in position to nab a top pass-catcher with their first of two first round picks. But they opted for Gary, who has wowed onlookers with his athletic ability but needs some work to make a consistent impact at the next level. He could become an asset against the run quicker, though, but he needs work on his techniques and will learn he cannot simply bull rush his way to the…
