C-dub, you had picked out of order with your #4 pick, so I deleted it (and took Frank Gore myself, anyway). I'm sure your heart was in the right place. I can guess that you very well were trying to keep this snail moving. But, I think in the (very) beginning here, regardless of how slow this is going, we have to be more sensitive to establishing the right pattern for people to follow than keep it moving. Thank you for the thought, though.

So far this draft is going as I would expect. However, the next pick is where I see it going in many directions depending on the draft. At 7 it is not uncommon to see Manning, Rudi, or Willie Parker.

I took Westbrook at 7 because of the scoring (although Manning would have probably been good). BWB should get receiving yards in this system that would balance Parker or more. If he stays healthy.

I like Wesbrook quite alot, he did manage a carreer high 322 carries last season and played in 15 games...did I mention his 673 receiving yards to go along with his 1172 rushing yards and 10 TDs. Look for those numbers to stay about the same this year. It was a pretty good pick.

I know it's about the fact that S. Smith will be doubled all over the place, about passing accuracy, and about concerns about who will be WR2. But heck, it was pick 12. I figured it was also about yards and about whenever he takes it in & how often.

I'm continued to be suprised to see Parker so high in drafts when he has a swollen knee as has been barely participating in camp. The Steelers are downplaying it, but swollen knees are seldom good.

I took Reggie Bush this high for the same reason I took Westbrook high. Yards points in CBFL scoring are good for this.

I took Benson over Portis at 21 in the interest of safety. And after what Orton did tonight, there might be fewer than 8 in the box this season (I know, against scrubs. But it's worth a look.).

And if you chickens and pirates don't start commenting, I'm going to stop revealing MY takes!

Well, at 24 in this scoring system, I can't pass Portis up.

This is a sentiment with which I am in 100% agreement. I mean... there's A LOT of early preseason hype and bullshit right now to wade through,... BS coach-speak and for all intents and purposes feigned hammies. However, July-August swollen knees and sore toes are worrisome,... especially when it comes to (high-profile) RB's (because there's more at stake).

I would agree about Parker...I don't agree about the swollen knee thing...swollen knees are typical and do not necessarily mean a whole lot. In many cases a few days off or a needle and your fine.

Speaking of knees, tendenitous is a more serious problem and Clinton Portis has that diagnois. Depending on what legal anti-inflamatory the league will allow...this could be a real not imagined problem.

I DIGRESS...

Just to clarify,... speaking for myself (not sk, but I think he and I would pretty much be in agreement here),... I wasn't meaning anything technical with my use of the general terms "swollen knee" and "sore toe". In a general sense, I meant that they are a red flag, which they undoubtedly are, and in a more specific sense, I meant that, if it turns out to be a "bum (tendinitus) knee" (like is increasingly looking is the case with Portis) or "bad (turf) toe" (a la Ron Dayne this time last year), you've got a problem.

Looks like DD and I were putting in Jones-Drew at the same time, but he got it in first. I removed mine and picked again, but I agree with the idea. In this system, he could do well with both runs and catches, like BWB.

(Sorry for the delay in this post. My keyboard keeps locking me into caps lock. I had to reboot. Anyone have a suggestion about that?)

I think Maurice Jones-Drew could be huge again this year. After what he did last year, I think he is going to get way more carries then old Fred Taylor. He proved what he can do last year and besides, isn't he in the "fantasy football hall of fame"?

Personally, I think MD-J is the most OVER-hyped player right now... I think he's gone about 10 or so spots too high here.

i was putting in mjd at the same time. thanks to whoever deleted my duplicate. i think that fragile fred will carry the load, but mjd will repeat last years performance. this seems like the right spot for him here.

Edge at 31.

I think he should have gone before at least 3 RB's picked ahead of him!

A lot of WRs are going here pretty early. But I had to see Wayne go before a QB left the board.

Edge ended last season with decent numbers. I think that Arizona had one of the better drafts and off season acquisitions, i.e. Levi Brown, Al Johnson and Mike Gandy. The offensive line is much better meaning, better at the run, meaning better at the pass...Leinart and Edge will both be better...as well as the receiving corp...already pretty salty.

With Dunn's surgery and Petrino's system, Norwood should probably have gone earlier.

(BTW - Our numbering is off. One number was done twice.)
