Q3. What veteran player walks away as the biggest winner based on the new addition(s) to his team and how does it affect how you value him this season?
Kirk Cousins (QB – MIN)
“The Vikings used their first four picks on offense. Center Garrett Bradbury provides a foundational piece to improve their protection of Cousins, and Irv Smith Jr. provides a deep playmaker who averaged 16.1 yards per catch at Alabama last season. These additions, particularly a bolstered line that also added guard Dru Samia, could help Cousins bounce back from a disappointing season, a la Matt Ryan in 2018. Quarterback is deep, but he’s an interesting QB2 to target around the 15-20 range.”
– Andrew Gould (FantasyPros)
Right team, but wrong player. The biggest fantasy winner from the draft, indeed the entire offseason, is Dalvin Cook. Hiring an outside zone guru to coordinate your run game, who not only brings along his outside zone line coach but drafts the best outside zone center we've seen in years to block for a runner who specializes in outside zone runs...all on a team who seems almost "angrily" committed to the run...yeah, Dalvin gonna cook this year.
