If they take an RB with their first pick, you have to pay attention. Bradshaw&#8217;s feet haven&#8217;t lasted a whole season in a couple years. For dynasty\/keeper teams, Wilson represents the only safe long-term pick at #1. I understand the question marks around Blaine Gabbert, but I view the Justin Blackmon pick almost the same as the Andy Dalton\/AJ Green situation last off-season. Blackmon, like AJ Green did with Dalton, will make Gabbert look like an elite QB. With the #3 overall pick, there is more upside to Blackmon than a Andrew Luck pick, even in dynasty\/keeper leagues.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QBallers.com posted their top 40 fantasy football rookies for 2012 a couple days ago.
