Fantasy Impact: St. Louis select Alec Ogletree
With the 30th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams selected LB Alec Ogletree (Georgia). The Rams acquired the pick from the Falcons, to select the hard hitting linebacker presumably to play weak-side linebacker in their 4-3 scheme. The pick should signal the end of Jo-Lonn Dunbar in sub packages as Ogletree [...]
Fantasy Impact: Baltimore Ravens select Matt Elam
With the 32nd pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected safety Matt Elam (Florida Gators). A hard-hitting safety who consistently demonstrates great instincts on the field, Elam has the potential to be a real difference-maker at the NFL level.

Fantasy Impact: Minnesota Vikings select Xavier Rhodes
With the 25th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected CB Xavier Rhodes (Florida State Seminoles).

Fantasy Impact: Minnesota Vikings select Sharrif Floyd
With the 23rd pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (Florida Gators). Floyd shows great promise at times, and he was particularly dominant in the closing minutes of Florida’s win over Florida State, but he also spent a lot of time moving backward and/or struggling to shed blocks. Watching the tape [...]
Fantasy Impact: Pittsburgh Steelers Select Jarvis Jones
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Jarvis Jones with the 17th overall pick. If it wasn’t for a disappointing pro day as well as long-term concerns about his diagnosed spinal stenosis, Jones could have been in conversation for a top-five if not top overall selection in the 2013 NFL draft. But for the Steelers, his production is what [...]
Fantasy Impact: Carolina Panthers select Star Lotulelei
The Carolina Panthers took Star Lotulelei with the 14th overall pick. There were many story lines coming into this year’s draft, and Lotulelei found himself as part of one of the stranger ones in recent memory. Lotulelei returned for his senior year one of the top defensive players in this years draft class, and did nothing but further [...]
