Article Request: Review ADP data and give your thoughts. Right off the bat, where are the rookies? It's like some people think it's 2007 some think it's 2008. Round 1 1. LaDainian Tomlinson RB SDC 2. Adrian Peterson RB MIN 3. Steven Jackson RB STL 4. Joseph Addai RB IND 5. Marion III Barber RB DAL 6. Brian Westbrook RB PHI 7. Frank Gore RB SFO 8. Tom Brady QB NEP 9. Larry Johnson RB KCC 10. Clinton Portis RB WAS 11. Marshawn Lynch RB BUF 12. Randy Moss WR NEP So apparently in 2008 it's Brady instead of Peyton instead of Daunte instead of Kurt Warner, as the first round QB that will put up a ton of stats but, leave you high and dry at the Runningback spot. 10 Runningbacks gone or 10 of 12 teams in your league have a runningback at this point. Round 2 13. Peyton Manning QB IND 14. Maurice Jones-Drew RB JAC 15. Ryan Grant RB GBP 16. Willis McGahee RB BAL 17. Terrell Owens WR DAL 18. Tony Romo QB DAL 19. Reggie Wayne WR IND 20. Michael Turner RB SDC 21. Laurence Maroney RB NEP 22. Braylon Edwards WR CLE 23. Andre Johnson WR HOU 24. Jamal Lewis RB CLE 5 good runningbacks taken and that RBBC gem called MJD. Owens is back to high 2nd round, Moss is back to finishing out the first. Romo is too early and just can't be taken then. He's not Manning or Brady. This is the worst 2nd round I can ever recall. IF IF things were to hold true this would be the year to trade down into the 3rd and even trade up from later picks into the 4th or 5th Round 3 25. Larry Fitzgerald WR ARI 26. Reggie Bush RB NOS 27. Ronnie Brown RB MIA 28. Steve Smith WR CAR 29. Willie Parker RB PIT 30. TJ Houshmandzadeh WR CIN 31. Drew Brees QB NOS 32. Marques Colston WR NOS 33. Chad Johnson WR CIN 34. Plaxico Burress WR NYG 35. Brandon Jacobs RB NYG 36. Wes Welker WR NEP I would take all 12 here in round 3 over all 12 in Round 2, as a group. I love the prospects of the round 2 players but moreso than these round 3 players? Round 4 37. Anquan Boldin WR ARI 38. Earnest Graham RB TBB 39. Torry Holt WR STL 40. Roy Williams WR DET 41. Carson Palmer QB CIN 42. Ben Roethlisberger QB PIT 43. Julius Jones RB DAL 44. Antonio Gates TE SDC 45. Brandon Marshall WR DEN 46. Marvin Harrison WR IND 47. Greg Jennings WR GBP 48. Jason Witten TE DAL Good value still but, why are people taking Quarterbacks at this rate. Anyone else "just know" there will be a Quarterback "steal" for you in the later rounds. 6 teams, or half a 12 team league, have Quarterbacks now. Can you see why trading into the 3rd or 4th would have been such a good tactic? Round 5 49. Santonio Holmes WR PIT 50. Thomas Jones RB NYJ 51. Lendale White RB TEN 52. Derek Anderson QB CLE 53. Calvin Johnson WR DET 54. Lee Evans WR BUF 55. Travis Henry RB DEN 56. Kellen Winslow TE CLE 57. Matt Hasselbeck QB SEA 58. Rudi Johnson RB CIN 59. Roddy White WR ATL 60. Donovan McNabb QB PHI I like Kellen WInslow here. 5th round is a nice round for a Tight End and he could surpass Gates as the league's best. We're up to 9 Quarterbacks taken, still wouldn't bite. Rudi Johnson probably becomes the best pick in this round. Round 6 61. Tony Gonzalez TE KCC 62. Dwayne Bowe WR KCC 63. Deuce McAllister RB NOS 64. Chris Chambers WR SDC 65. Fred Taylor RB JAC 66. Edgerrin James RB ARI 67. Justin Fargas RB OAK 68. Dallas Clark TE IND 69. Vince Young QB TEN 70. Hines Ward WR PIT 71. Jerricho Cotchery WR NYJ 72. Marc Bulger QB STL 11 Quarterbacks taken now, it would be just you left if you waited. I'm not seeing how Fargas is drafted within 50-75 picks of this slot, wow is that early. Fred Taylor or Edgerrin James are the best picks this round. They should go earlier. Round 7 73. Chris Cooley TE WAS 74. Bobby Engram WR SEA 75. Bernard Berrian WR CHI 76. Kenny Watson RB CIN 77. Donald Driver WR GBP 78. Chester Taylor RB MIN 79. Todd Heap TE BAL 80. Vincent Jackson WR SDC 81. Santana Moss WR WAS 82. Joey Galloway WR TBB 83. Cedric Benson RB CHI 84. Jay Cutler QB DEN I think Watson is too early here. Rudi is beefed up and rarin' to go. Chris Perry is finally healthy. I don't like that slot for Watson. Chester Taylor doing well with Adrian Peterson around, I don't much like that pick either. Favre's retirement has turned Donald Driver into a poor Wide Receiver apparently. He's the best pick here. At least let's see him slow down some before we predict his demise. Round 8 85. Vernon Davis TE SFO 86. DeAngelo Williams RB CAR 87. Laveranues Coles WR NYJ 88. Selvin Young RB DEN 89. Anthony Gonzalez WR IND 90. Eli Manning QB NYG 91. David Garrard QB JAC 92. Javon Walker WR DEN 93. San Diego Chargers DT SDC 94. Jerry Porter WR JAC 95. Kevin Curtis WR PHI 96. Shaun Alexander RB SEA Shaun being taken is a common hunch I guess. He doesn't even have a team. Anthony Gonzalez is a tough one with people questioning whether Marvin will play all of 2008. Coles is the best pick this round. This is an article request by Mark. To request any topic be written upon email Bri Mark, pretty shabby data to go on with it being May and all. Thanks for the suggested topic.
