+Barkley is a Giant
Penn State’s Saquon Barkley becomes highest-drafted RB since Reggie Bush in 2016. He offers top 10 potential in 2018.

Forget draft capital for a second.

There is a team with (age when season starts)

Odell Beckham – 25 years old
Saquon Barkley – 21 years old
Evan Engram – 24 years old
Sterling Shepard – 25 years old

Good luck covering that

NFC West could have the best QB division for a while:

-Jared Goff (23)
-Russell Wilson (29)
-Jimmy Garoppolo (26)
-Josh Rosen (21)

Hard to imagine a better offensive coordinator for Lamar Jackson than Marty Mornhinweg, who had Michael Vick. The #Ravens likely have him sit a year, learn, then fully commit to a new offense for 2019.

+Raiders trade for Bryant
Oakland sent the 79th overall pick to Pittsburgh to acquire the disgruntled, but talented walk-year wideout.

Martavis Bryant traded to Oakland for a 3rd Round Pick.

Love this trade for two reasons:

1. Bryant (athletic freak with a ton of upside) goes to a team that doesn’t hate his guts
2. This means one of Amari Cooper or Jordy Nelson moves to the slot (where both are better suited) pic.twitter.com/eUq5M2Vxa6

+First-round Wide Receivers
No. 24 – D.J. Moore (Maryland) -> Panthers
No. 26 – Calvin Ridley (Alabama) -> Falcons

20 picks in.
Zero WR picked.
That should tell you what you need to know about this WR class.#NFLDraft18 #NFLDraft

Steve Smith on NFL Network had Cooper Kupp as last year’s WR1. Smiff’s WR1 this year comes from #Maryland:: “I love D.J. Moore. He is my spirit animal.”

+Late Round 1 running backs
No. 27 – Rashaad Penny (San Diego State) -> Seahawks
No. 31 – Sony Michel (Georgia) -> Patriots

Which late Round 1 RB will have a better fantasy season in 2018?
