The NFL Draft is finally in the books which means our fantasy experts Matt Harmon, Dalton Del Don, and Andy Behrens can begin to dissect every angle of it.

The three go over all the major skill position players (QB, RB, WR, TE) drafted and their fits and place the rookies into three categories: Major impact, maybe impactful, and least impactful.

Harmon, Del Don and Behrens begin the show by trying to rationalize the 49ers decision to take a kicker in the third round and end the show by trying to make sense of the crowded WR rooms in Denver, Kansas City and the New York Giants.

In between, the three discuss how Seattle's rookies could impact the fantasy implications for Kenny Walker, D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and also debate if D'Andre Swift is even a good fit in Philadelphia.
