Late Saturday afternoon, I decided to test what a 2008 fantasy football team would look like if Patriots QB Tom Brady was selected 5th overall. It was a standard 12-team league with one starting QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, a Flex and a K and DEF.
At #5, I selected Brady ahead of Mock Draft Central's 5th-rated player, Rams RB Stephen Jackson. If 2008's rankings reflect the state of next year's draft borads - lots of QBs and WRs ranked very high, then one can see what happens if Brady is selected early - the RB pool will be depleted by the time your second pick comes back!
