Draft Projections by Position
By Darryl Breckheimer
Special to sfl-football.com

Targets
I have targeted 77 players of TRUE value... after that, it's ALL about picking for the potential of landing the Draft GEM (and, I guess filling out one's roster with cheap bench depth)!

Projected 1st Round
There's 45 players that have been projected to have 1st Round Value... only 10-15 of those players would I consider LEGIT / CAN'T MISS talent.

Breck's View of the Draft
There's 19 players I'd be thrilled to see finding their way to the Philadelphia Eagles... trouble is, the Eagles don't pick until 6th in the 2nd round. The good news is, 6 of the 19 players I covet... the experts don't project as 1st Round Talent - so there's hope and excitement for me heading into the DRAFT!

QB = 2: Like most rookie signal callers, there?s a lot of patience and grooming needed? 2 projected to be drafted in the 1st round (bottom half).

HB = 7: There?s really only 2 LEGIT game changers (both should be taken in the top 10)? 5 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

FB = 0: We probably don?t see anyone being drafted at FB until the 2nd round? 3 projected to be drafted in the 2nd-3rd rounds.

WR = 20: There?s really only 2 LEGIT games changers (and they should both be taken in the top 5)? 8 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

TE = 1: There?s only 1 LEGIT game changer (and he?ll be taken in the top 10)? 1 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

T = 10: There?s 1 CAN?T MISS player (and he?ll be taken in the top 10)? 7 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

G = 4: There?s 1 CAN?T miss player (and he?ll be taken in the top half)? 4 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

C = 4: We might not see anyone being drafted at C in the 1st round? 0 projected to be drafted in the 1st round, but 1 guy goes in the top 5 of the 2nd round.

DE = 5: There?s 2 LEGIT game changers (both should be taken in the top 10)? 4 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

DT = 5: Nothing too flashy to look at here (1 guy goes in the top half of the 1st round)? 3 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

OLB = 6: Nothing too flashy to look at here (no one gets taken until the bottom half of round 1)? 4 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

MLB = 4: Nothing too flashy to look at here (no one gets taken until the bottom half of round 1)? 2 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

CB = 4: NO DOUBT, the worst crop of CB?s ever released in a draft class (1 guy gets taken in the top 10)? 4 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

S = 5: There?s 1 CAN?T MISS player (and he?ll be taken in the top half of round 1)? 3 projected to be drafted in the 1st round.

K = 0: I see 1 players that might be worth taking? but not in the top 3 rounds? any GM drafting a K in the 1st round should be immediately removed from the position never to see the SFL again!

P = 0: I see 1 players that might be worth taking? but not in the top 3 rounds? any GM drafting a K in the 1st round should be immediately removed from the position never to see the SFL again!

The intent of the article was offer a HIGH VIEW take on the upcoming draft (based off my targeted players and the 3 Mock Drafts that have been shared)... so if you were looking for names or another Mock Draft, I'm sorry to disappoint.
