For those without ESPN insider, this is the first time Kiper has rated Fleener the number 1 TE prospect in the draft. Throughout the season, he rated him 3rd, IIRC.
He also rates Luck #1 QB, Martin #3 OT (behind Kalil and Reif) and Decastro #1 Guard.
Losing four guys who are first round talent, all on offense, is a big disruption. Replacing QBs and OLs is always difficult, but when they're such superior talent, you just don't know what your'e going to get (though I'm less worried about TE than the other three spots.)
