7th OAK - Darrius Heyward-Bey
While I have nothing against Darrius or how high Oakland took him, we have to look at who is throwing to him and the quality of the Oakland team of late. With JaMarcus Russell still feeling his way along, a marginal O-line protecting him, I think odds are against Heyward-Bey having a great fantasy impact.
10th SF - Michael Crabtree
Hold outs spell doom for almost every position, even for veterans, much less a rookie, but the longer Crabtree holds out, the less likely he will have any impact this year.
19th PHI - Jeremy Maclin
I like Maclin in Philly. He has a quality starter opposite him in DeSean Jackson, and no unsurmountable competition for the #2 spot. Plus, with Andy Reid's offense and tutelage, he could flourish.
22nd MIN - Percy Harvin
There is a lot of talk out of Minnesota about Harvin's skills, his attitude and their plans to use him. He might make his biggest impact on special teams, with Bernard Berrian as the solid primary and Sidney Rice seeming to have the #2 slot, he has a shot to contribute nicely as a #3 option. That does not mean huge fantasy numbers though.
29th NYG - Hakeem Nicks
If Nicks can fit into the roll of former Giant turned thug, Plaxico Burress, and be the sizable target and deep threat Burress was, Nicks might make a splash. But there is quality, if not outstandin,g set of WRs for him to beat out, so an outstanding season is not in the cards for Nicks.
30th TEN - Kenny Britt
Tennessee wideouts have historically under achieved, and I don't see that changing, especially with the ground oriented attack favored by coach Jeff Fisher.
In the final analysis, if you are going to take a risk or flier on a first round rookie WR, I would stick with Maclin, Harvin or Nick, and in that order.
Now, on to the ladies. For today, I present Trista Geyer
