11 Jason Schandl Jamaal Charles RB4

Best Pick: Antonio Brown

Maybe it's lame that I'm calling Marvin Harrison's 2002 campaign. You know, that one year he just went out and broke the single-season receptions mark.

I ended up selecting Hopkins with the eighth overall selection, and while I don't think anyone should see it as a bad pick, a strong argument can be made that he's a tad overvalued entering this year. That's thanks to his splits when the Texans defense played to their actual potential last year as well as the team's tendency to run the ball. Oh, what's that? I wrote an article on him being overvalued? You can peep that here.
