Here's the quarterback run you've been waiting for. Greg Bucki gets fantastic value on Matt Ryan, and that sets off a chain reaction, as half of the league picks up a quarterback in this round.
Daniel Lindsey is buying into JJ's belief that Jay Cutler will be a top-five quarterback, taking him ahead of the usually favored Tony Romo, Nick Foles and Tom Brady. At this point in the draft, Cutler (and every other quarterback) was such a great value that it's impossible to be too pick about which order they're selected in.
Ari Ross threw his 10th round pick at the mercy of Roger Goodell, who may wind up not suspending Josh Gordon for the entire season. If that happens, Ari's team becomes an instant contender for the weeks in which Gordon plays.
My pick: Mike Williams, WR, Buffalo Bills - Last year, "Tampa Mike" was all the rage in fantasy circles, rising up draft boards only to get injured early in the 2013 season and fail to live up to expectations. This year, his value has fallen thanks to a switch to Buffalo and plenty of off-the-field concerns. But Williams has been starting for Buffalo in the preseason, and while this isn't an offense with a ton of passing game potential, he's a much safer bet to play and produce than a guy like James White, taken at the top of the 10th round.
