In the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft, there were a number of players taken that could have a fantasy football impact during the 2009 season. We’ll take a look at these prospects in Part 4 of this series.

2009 NFL Draft – Fantasy Analysis Part 4:

RB Shonn Greene, New York Jets
With the first pick in the third round, the Jets got a running back who could take over the reigns in a year or two.

RB Glen Coffee, San Francisco 49ers
With Frank Gore always an injury risk, Glen Coffee will be a must-have handcuff.

WR Derrick Williams, Detroit Lions
The Lions will try this new Williams next to Calvin Johnson.

WR Brandon Tate, New England Patriots
Don’t look for him to have an impact this year but down the line Tate has potential.

WR Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers
Wallace could eventually fill in for Hines Ward but not this season.

WR Ramses Barden, New York Giants
With Plaxico Burress out of the picture, the Giants are looking for wide receivers.

WR Patrick Turner, Miami Dolphins
He’s a big target who could eventually become a touchdown-heavy wide receiver.

TE Jared Cook, Tennessee Titans
Cook doesn’t have a high ceiling next season but could eventually win the starting job.

WR Deon Butler, Seattle Seahawks
With so many injures last season, the Seahawks decided to add another Deon.

TE Chase Coffman, Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals have had a lot of trouble finding a reliable tight end. Coffman could be the answer.

TE Travis Beckum, New York Giants
Beckum isn’t the toughest player around but he has a chance to be good receiving tight end.
