NORTHEAST

 

Mars

 

Mars' 2013 Rookie Class:

 

 

1 - 02 WR Rob King

Looks like a slam dunk and should be a future #1 WR for Mars

 

1 - 09 DT Nate Kinney

Kinney will be a future starter and a star.

 

2 - 28 TE Mike Wilkerson

I'm somewhat surprised this guy is starting off the season on IR.

 

3 - 46 CB Corey Palmer

Palmer has already hit the Road.

 

3 - 64 FB Raj Hamiter

Hamiter looks good and is getting the start at FB.

 

5 - 81 FB Jeff Tyler

A tandem of Rookie Fullbacks for Mars as Tyler backs up Hamiter.

 

5 - 82 QB Robert Lavigne

Lavigne has a positive future in this league.

 

6 - 100 LB Derek Lapham

If Lapham can put on some bulk he should be good!

 

7 - 117 LB Jeffrey Weathers

Weathers made the team and that's saying something because Mars has a solid LB corps.

 

7 - 118 LB Krishan Davis

Gone

 

Overall Grade:  A

This team has quite a few stars for the future and already has a couple starters out of this draft.

 

Rookies to Watch: 

WR King, DT Kinney, FB Hamiter, QB Lavigne


 

RENO

 

Reno's 2013 Rookie Class:

 

1 - 18 S Chris Watts

Looks to be a solid pick with room to grow.

 

2 - 27 LB Malik Tabari

Tabari is already a starter on a solid LB corps, look for big things from him.

 

2 - 36 DE Adam Konte

Konte has some much needed speed and quickness but the big tackles can swallow him up.

 

6 - 99 TE Stoney Zachary

Zachary has already moved up to #2 on the depth Chart, but has a ways to go to unseat Johnson.

 

6 - 108 WR Ira Koegel

Too early to tell on Kogel.

 

7 - 121 K Jerry Riley

Look to have a shot some day.

 

Overall Grade: A-

 

 

Rookies to Watch: 

Watts, Tabari, Zachary

OAKLAND

 

Oakland's 2013 Rookie Class:

Johnson is good, but will he ever break the starting lineup?

 

2 - 29 OT Bruce Oliver

Oliver looks to be a solid OL for a long time.

 

2 - 33 S Antoine Stewart

He's lucky to have made the practice squad.

 

4 - 69 LB Jon Roane

Another Practice Squad player.

 

5 - 87 QB Andrew Risher

Risher has a long ways to go?

 

6 - 105 DT J.J. Crosby

Has a better chance than Crosby.

Johnson, Oliver

 

 

SOUTHEAST

Indianapolis's 2013 Rookie Class:

 

 

1 - 07 CB Michael Otero

Otero secured the nickel back slot as a rookie, he has a good future.

 

2 - 25 OC Rob Quarles

Quarles is the opening day starter at Center, and should stay there for a long time.

 

3 - 43 OC Terry Hunter

Hunter looks solid.

 

4 - 61 TE Brett Allen

Give him a couple season and he might start.

 

5 - 79 CB Cedric Jeffers

Looks to be a decent backup

 

6 - 97 QB Wayne Gary

PRAGUE

 

Prague's 2013 Rookie Class:

Will be a future #1 wideout for this franchise.

 

2 - 22 OG David Dicken

Day one starter at guard who could easily play center as well.

Solid looking Rookie.

 

6 - 94 QB Charles Ruegamer

Decent backup prospect at QB.

 

6 - 95 OT Sean Chattams

Area 51's 2013 Rookie Class:

Evans looks like an even better pickup than Kraft, could be a steal.

I doubt this guy will ever be fast enough for the Aliens.
