    This is a year in which the draft had a big impact on the league. There have also been years in which a waiver wire pickup ruled the league. Case in point, Larry Johnson last year. 2 years ago the emergence of stud players like Tiki Barber and Edgerrin James, selected at the end of the first round caused that end position in the draft to be more critical, while Ricky Williams and Priest Holmes had less impact than typical 1 and 2 picks.
