Regarding this pick,...

... I just couldn't see him dropping any farther, and, mind you, I'm not a Larry Johnson fan at all. I just kind of reflected back on Curtis Martin's years under Herm Edwards. It would look like Martin was done one year, and then he'd win the rushing title the next, and it cannot be said that Johnson's tread is more worn than Martin's was.
Incidentally, though, the guy I would have taken next would have been...

WOW, Reggie Bush already? Over Maurice Jones Drew, Ernest Graham, Rudi Johnson, heck, even Ronnie Brown?
What does your crystal ball hold Callie? You think the Saints are going to give him the ball more? I just do not know what the hell is going to happen in N.O. this year. If I was to guess, think they are going to have a massive RBBC. Sadly, Pierre Thomas is even going to take carries from Bush.

...or he could be a Westbrook. Yeah, I think they are going to give him the ball more, ground and/or air. He's slimmer and through his second year nonsense. They have the line, they want to pass, and even if he is risk/reward he should be fine. Buy low.

First off, the master rankings list in the initial post of this thread have been updated.
Now, for some convo...
I think the following guys went too high: Marion Barber by 2 to 10 spots, Marshawn Lynch by a bunch of spots (I don't know if I'd have taken him still; probably soon), Tony Romo by 3 to 7 spots, Reggie Bush by 3 to 5 spots.
I think the following guys went too low (thus far): Reggie Wayne by maybe 2 to 4 spots, Andre Johnson, Marques Colston and Larry Fitzgerald by 2 or 3 spots.
I am surprised that no one commented on my pick of Houshmandzadeh... and LJ, the latter if for no other reason than just conversation.

Comparison...you be the judge
Addai taken 4th...302 touches just over 1500 yards , 15 TD's
Gore taken 9th....313 touches just over 1500 yards , 6 TD's
Barber taken 10th....240 touches over 1200 yards , 12 TD's
With a departed Jones in Dallas..I would suspect MBIII to receive more touches and I think most analysts would agree with that, I assume you would agree too. Let's just say for arguements sake his total touches jump by 50 this season. His average total yards per game was around 80 I believe. 50 touches should equal to the equivalent of 2-3 games, give or take a few touches. That adds around 200 yards to his total and minimumally 2-4 TD's...we will split that and call it 3.
New math on MBII ..... 290 touches 1400 yards , 15 TD's....Yes I'd take him at 10th overall with those numbers!! Certainly before all the others who were picked after him.

LJ at 16 is potentially the steal of the draft. If he can stay healthy and return to the LJ we all remember, then people will be wondering how he could have slipped past the Top 5!! As far as Housh goes, there are a few WR's that I would take over him that didn't go. Johnson, Fitzgerald, Edwards for sure...maybe even Colsten.

Marshawn Lynch:
For the sake of convo, as mentioned above.... and all legal stuff thrown out and not taken into consideration which I believe will all be taken care of by the time the season starts, as of now he's not suspended for any games, herefore the rationale.....
IMO, #13 is to low for Lynch to go... in 13 games he accumlates 1,115 yds on the ground with 7 tds, now tack on 3 more games. He was not a factor in the passing game w/only 18 catches for 184.... This WILL drastically change!!!!! Marshawn is a bar none a Pick #6-#9... I am on the Lynch wagon. and I am going to sit back and watch  him carry my backfield. 
True I did not take him at #6, this is a rankings mock, and it been a Mock for my team, I would have knocked on Lynch's door.

Have to slightly disagree with my old work buddy here. Troubles aside, I think Lynch was taken about right. 6-8 is pushing it a little bit, 9 sounds better, 10-13 sounds correct to me. I think in a regular draft, if for some reason Brady, Manning, and/or Moss were not taken and the 1st round run was on RB's, then you'd have to take him top 10.

I say, at this point, we just got to rip through this... so as it doesn't go on too long and become disjointed... and so we can get on with another one... or two... or three before the season starts. That's the kind of energy this site is SO in NEED of!
