The first day of the NFL draft is in the books, and that means it's time to explore the potential fantasy impact of the skill-position players who were selected Thursday night.

We start with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, the top overall player selected. Burrow hits the NFL with solid weapons in Tyler Boyd, A.J. Green and Joe Mixon, so if any rookie at the position has immediate upside, it is him.

But tread carefully. Only one quarterback (Kyler Murray) finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback in 2019, and that happened in large part because he rushed for 544 yards and four touchdowns.
