Lokken from Strategic Fantasy Football Looks at NFL Draft

2006 NFL draft projections are changing, and even though there will be more changes until April 29, it is wise to check things out for future knowledge. Todd Lokken, President of Strategic Fantasy Football has looked at the new list`s top five picks, and here they are.

Houston Texans: Reggie Bush, RB?USC. No way Houston trades this pick, and Bush has been the target since the middle of the 2005 college season. New Orleans Saints: D?Brickashaw Ferguson, OT?Virginia. ?The Saints need a tackle, and Ferguson is the best on the board right now,? says Lokken. However, do not be surprised if the Saints trade this pick and try to get Ferguson later in the top 10. Tennessee Titans: Matt Leinart, QB?USC. Lokken says, ?If Leinart had come out last year, he would have been the top pick.? However, number 3 is not too bad, especially with Steve McNair on the downside of his career. New York Jets: Vince Young, QB?Texas. ?Ok, so the Jets traded for Patrick Ramsey. He is not a long term solution.? says Lokken. Look for the Jets to still take a QB this year, and imagine Vince Young in the big apple!

?Free agency is still in full swing, and couple that with draft workouts, the first round, especially the top 5, is in tremendous flux,? says Lokken. ?Look for many things to change before April 29th, and expect many surprises even on draft day.?
