If Fitzgerald tries to enter the draft he'll probably be allowed.
The rule is that you have to be 3 years removed from high school. Fitzgerald graduated 3 years ago, but then spent a year at a military academy, and then the next year began his freshman season at Pitt, so technically he's 3 years removed from his graduation.
That being said, I think Roy Williams is a more prototypical NFL receiver than Fitzgerald.
The biggest problem is that you have no idea who's gonna draft them yet. I mean, I think Eli Manning could be great, but if he gets drafted by Arizona for example, my enthusiasm would be a bit tampered. Kevin Jones and Chris Perry have the potential to be great NFL backs, but if they go early in the draft, and some guy gets drafted round 2-3 (Darren Sproles, the Mighty Mite?) to a strong team, he could blow up.
That said, I like Manning, Fitzgerald, Jones, and Mike Williams

It's more about what team the player lands with than the player himself. If the Broncos pick Perry, I doubt he will be "the man." But it's a different story if someone like Dallas grabs him.

I completely agree. Situation determines fantasy relevance in the majority of situations. Is Anquan Boldin a better reciever than Charles Rogers or Andre Johnson? Thats debateable, but dont look at this yrs stats for the answer.
I think Chris Perry will be a stud NFL back if he gets into the right situation, but that may just be because Im a U of M Alumn and am completely biased, but maybe not.
In truth, looking for a rookie to step in and contribute to a fantasy team is always a crapshoot.
Watch out for Darren Sproles if he lands in a team without a solid RB situation. I saw him play a few games and he runs a lot like Clinton Portis. Especially in the game against OU. If he gets behind a mediocre line he could do some serious damage.
