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.

admin — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 00:19:54 +0000

1. Knowshon Moreno, Georgia
Entering the season, Knowshon Moreno was regarded as a great running back prospect. After doing nothing to harm that reputation, it wouldn’t surprise many if the RB from Georgia is the first running back off the board in the 2009 NFL Draft.

2. Beanie Wells, Ohio State
If there is anyone who could knock Moreno off his perch, it’d be Beanie Wells. Wells is extremely talented and could step in and help an NFL team right away. In each of his three seasons at Ohio State, Wells has averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry in each season.

3. LeSean McCoy, Pittsburgh
After an impressive freshman season, LeSean McCoy exploded in his sophomore season. The 5-foot-11, 210 pound McCoy had nearly 1500 rushing yards to go with 21 touchdowns. He had at least one touchdown in all but one game this season for Pittsburgh.

4. Shonn Greene, Iowa
Shonn Greene didn’t do much in his first two seasons at Iowa. However, in his junior season, Green went from anonymity to the Heisman conversation. Green finished the season with over 1800 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns.

5. Donald Brown, Connecticut
Although he didn’t get much publicity, Donald Brown of Connecticut had an amazing season in his junior campaign which put definitely caught the attention of NFL scouts. He finished the year with 18 touchdowns and more than 2000 rushing yards.
