Draft Impact- Michael Floyd

Michael Floyd is as polished as any wide out to come out of college in the last few years.

Analysis: Michael Floyd has the size, 6’3″, 220 pounds and the speed to be a productive fantasy wide out. He will benefit greatly from the attention Larry Fitzgerald will receive. At the moment Floyd is the thirty-eighth wide out being taken in fantasy mock drafts and that is a solid place for him. He should put up numbers very similar to Justin Blackmon this year especially if Kevin Kolb can play up to his potential in his second year in Arizona.

Where Floyd can really do some damage is in the red zone and with Larry Fitzgerald drawing double teams, Floyd should have some favorable matchups. Early Doucet and the Arizona tight ends do not have the athletic ability or the talent in the air that Floyd possesses. He will certainly be the number two option for the Cardinals in all situations in the upcoming 2012 season. Even with the return of running back Ryan Williams, Arizona’s two best athletes on offense remain Fitzgerald and Floyd. Expect WR3 type numbers at a surprisingly reasonable ADP from the rookie.
