A concensus this year among my friends has Shaun Alexander slipping to 9th or 10th overall in the rankings. I personally believe he is still Top 5 for at least one more season. Next year the Addai's, Bush's, and Maroney's of the world will surpass him...but in '07...Shaun's gonna shine!!

Yes they have arrived...and in a keeper league I'd take all three above 'Zander. But.... my alcohol impaired Minnesota frozen brained Texas transplanted amigo...if I had to pick for this season only, I'd still go with my man Shaun.    It's gonna look something like this.............Alexander = 1850 all purpose yards, 19 TD's. Addai = 1700 yds, 15 TD's.  Bush = 1750 yds, 13 TD's. Maroney = 1300 yds,  11 TD's.
 
How's that for calling it...Ya' gotta have dem balls sonny boy!!!

Steg, I don't think Henry's gonna be worth a top 5 or even 10 pick for that matter. Gutsy, thought provoking, provacative, and fun pick, absolutely. I personally think that your man love for Shanny and his perpensity (sp??) of making good RB's great ones is overrated and outdated! For as often as Denver has been great for RB's in the past..I look at what Shanny does before he "gets " his guy...which is RBBC!!! Shanny is a nut. I have been in the middle of trying to figure out his "flavor of the month" before...I just say "No thanks" to all of that nonsense. But..I do share your enthusiasm for Rudi. Seems like you and I were the only two guys around here who gave Rudi that love last pre-season as well as this pre-season. Rudi is consistent..not a sexy pick, but a guy who gets his points every week!! I Like it!!

Agreed on the Henry comments, low 2nd or maybe high 3rd IMO.
 
As for Alexander my fellow , Addai and Bush will outgain Alexander in Total Yards  
 
Alexander still a very good back however, but I'm going more upside than a player who may kill me...as the great yoda may say (hurt, they say he is still).
 
As mentioned, that's why I would LOVE to see Henry and Alexander go, if I'm picking in the lower end of round 1.

You can satisfy some of the people some of the time...  But, Steg can't satisfy anybody anytime...
 
Actually, that's what he strives for... All he wants to do is "satisfy" himself... ...
 
And, well, to bring this back around to PG-rated content, I'm satisfied with making the cavalier pick of Henry at #4.
 
ANYWAY, I'll be around here for the night (mainland time)... if any two bodies want to hang out with me, help me shake the rust off, and bang this thing out for a little while here tonight... Let's do it!!!

I really like Henry in the right system, I remember a couple of seasons ago when he was getting 100+ yards a game with (literally) a broken leg.
 
As much as I like the guy (Henry) and the system he is in, I got him about where I had Rudi last year, top ten, not #4.
 
Speaking of Rudi, top ten, probably like last year about 8th or 9th best.
 
Frank Gore is the guy who perplexes me the most.  I know he will be gone in the first round, I'm just not going to be the guy who picks him.  That said, he is the real deal and I was wrong about his ability to produce last year.

I DIGRESS...
    Guys, as long as I can keep up with this thing, I am going to maintain the message icons with the picks so that you guys can (continue to) identify which message icons go with which team... Also, I just think it's lookin' pretty that way!

Backatchya, Larsman...  Bush before... Deuce, no less a handful of others.  That's "very" cavalier.  But, hey, I like to see the originality.  That's what I want rankings on "the Gridiron" to be,... original that is, and I want us to dare to be different... within reason.  Henry at 4 and Bush at 12 seem reasonable... and surely "original".

Everyone keeps ignoring Brian Westbrook... I can't believe he was still sitting there at #14. I remember taking heat last year when I listed him at #10 on my fantasy RB rankings: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=55;a ction=display;num=1155303535
 
In my money league at CBSsportsline, he finished #6 overall with standard (no ppr, where he would have been #4) performance scoring.

You are cooorect sir, I keep forgetting that Westbrook netted 699 receiving yards (4TDs) to go along with his 1217 rushing yards (7 TDs).  Probably 5th best totals as I see it.

Larsman, I love your enthusiasm and, yes, I've been waiting a couple nights now for a "couple" dudes to hang out with me here and bang this out.  But, you jumped the gun.  I'm sure, in part, you are being thoughtful to me.  BUT, it's way too early for us to abandon the rules.  We usually don't (have to) break the "wait for two guys" rule until very late, like pick 100 or something.  I would say leave your pick #23 up (what the hell).  But, let's try to stick with the set-up for as reasonably long as possible.

No biggie, Larsman... BUT, it's a shame we have to wait out someone else right now to get back in the sandbox and play... ... (Actually, I got to head out for about 30 minutes in about 5 minutes.  So, I hope someone gets in here and makes a quick pick so I can step up to the plate again and so can you.) ...

F~*@, dude!  I gotta roll, man. I'll be back, actually, in about 45 minutes.  That's going to be pretty late for many of you guys, though.  ...  Well, if anybody's hangin' then,... again, I'll be back!

Yep, it's really hard for me to pick a guy like that too, but I think he's the next logical guy at that pick. There were a few other guys I tossed around...I actually typed another player's name in but deleted it and replaced it with T.O.!! I won't mention who it was but he may be have been a  
  , or was it a   ??? Can't remember......

Wow... some very surprising picks already. I wish I could draft with some of you guys -- I'd feel very good following that draft!
 
I took Cedric Benson at #29! He's got the whole load to carry by himself now, and he's the workhorse who's capable of doing it.
