Until then...
Day 2
Update 3:31 p.m. PT - 2nd round of the NFL Draft starts soon. More fantasy relevant players coming. Will Dallas take a RB on day two?
Update 4:31 p.m. PT - The Jags take T.J. Yeldon much higher than they should have. He'll be a 1st round pick in rookie drafts, but I'm not high on his talents.
Update 4:36 p.m. PT - Devin Smith goes to the NY Jets. Not the situation fantasy owners hoped for.
Update 4:48 p.m. PT - Dorial Green-Beckham is off the board, and has potential WR1 status in Tennessee catching passes from Mariota. I like this pick from a fantasy stand point. Remains to be seen if DGB can stay out of trouble.
Update 4:58 p.m. PT - The Panthers pay dearly to move up and grab Devin Funchess. That's a great pick for Cam Newton owners. Time will tell if he lines up at TE or WR, or both for Carolina.
Update 5:54 p.m. PT - Ameer Abdullah goes to Detroit. He's not a bell cow type, at least not right now, but that's a good situation for him.
Update 6:40 p.m. PT - No RBs outside of Yeldon and Abdullah in the 2nd round. Mild surprise. Jaelen Strong still available too. What's up?
Update 7:02 p.m. PT - Tyler Lockett and Jaelen Strong go off the board. Strong ends up in Houston, but a lot later than I thought he would.
Update 7:06 p.m. PT - Yet another OG/OT for Gurley. Jeff Fisher wants to pound the rock.
Update 7:11 p.m. PT - Finally, Tevin Coleman is off the board to the Falcons. That's a Top 5 fantasy value in rookie drafts.
Update 7:47 p.m. PT - Northern Iowa RB David Johnson goes to Arizona. A decent value for the 2nd round of the CRFL draft.
Update 8:36 p.m. PT - That's the end of day two. Outside of Coleman to Atlanta, no other situations threaten the "big four" in rookie drafts.
Day 1
Update 4:48 p.m. PT - Here we go! Rumors are no more, let's get this started...
Update 5:13 p.m. PT - First fantasy relevant player off the board. Jameis Winston has QB1 potential with the Buccaneers if he can keep it clean off the field.
Update 5:20 p.m. PT - Marcus Mariota goes to the Titans. We'll see if that remains the case, or if he's traded post pick. From a fantasy perspective, the Kama'aina in me wants Marcus to succeed, but I don't see much upside to Marcus in Tennessee. He's a dynasty stash for now.
Update 5:36 p.m. PT - The Raiders pass on Leonard Williams, take Amari Cooper. WR1 potential in Oakland. He'll get some consideration for the #1 overall pick in our fantasy draft.
Update 5:55 p.m. PT - Kevin White goes to the Bears! He'll go early in rookie drafts, but I don't know about him being a WR1 with Alshon Jeffrey still in town.
Update 6:40 p.m. PT - Wow. Wow. Wow. Todd Gurley to St. Louis Rams. Tre Mason fantasy owners are in shock. Gurley is the favorite to go 1.01 in rookie drafts, but that could change if Melvin Gordon goes to Dallas.
Update 6:43 p.m. PT - The Miami Dolphins take DeVante Parker. Immediately moves up passed Kevin White for being in a better situation.
Update 6:51 p.m. PT - After the Chargers swap picks with the 49ers, the Bolts take RB Melvin Gordon. I'm not as high on Gordon as others, but he'll certainly get the rock in
Update 7:15 p.m. PT - My Rookie Rankings as of now...
1. Todd Gurley STL
2. Amari Cooper OAK
3. Melvin Gordon SD
4. DeVante Parker MIA
5. Kevin White CHI
6. Jameis Winston TB
7. Marcus Mariota TEN
Update 7:22 p.m. PT - Nelson Agholor is Chip Kelly's man. That might hurt Jordan Matthews' value.
Update 7:55 p.m. PT - The Ravens get their top WR in Breshad Perriman. The combine king will be tough to evaluate.
Update 8:21 p.m. PT - Dorsett to the Colts. Andrew Luck is going to throw for a million yards next season.
Update 8:44 p.m. PT - That's it for the 1st round. I'll live blog for the 2nd round tomorrow. My rankings after the conclusion of tonight...
1. Todd Gurley STL
2. Amari Cooper OAK
3. Melvin Gordon SD
4. Breshad Perriman BAL
5. DeVante Parker MIA
6. Kevin White CHI
7. Nelson Agholor PHI

Update 10:34 p.m. PT - BREAKING: I'll go ahead and make it official: As the fantasy owner of Boise Bears in the CRFL, I will be selecting Todd Gurley #1 overall. Lace's Out is officially on the clock...
