Who would you pick first in this years fantasy football draft?

Most people say Priest Holmes or LaDainian Tomlinson. Marshall Faulk is always a consideration here.

Who would you pick?

You can't pass up Holmes or Tomlinson...LT basically doubles as a RB and a WR. I had Faulk last year, and due to injuries he let me down big time. Ahman Green, Peyton Manning, and Daunte Culpepper are all good choices too. I think if I had to choose one, I'd take Priest.

Donovan McNabb because he now has a legit receiver.

T.O. drops a few passes himself, but everyone forgets about it when he takes a 12 yard catch and takes it for 40.

Priest has a lot better line than LT, but I think LT is more talented. It's a tough call between those two. #1 would be way too early to take a WR I think.

Darren Woodson ... he can lay some wood on receivers if they decide to enter his zip code.

Let's assume the league doesn't use individual defensive players.

Even if it did, picking any of them #1 would be way too high, and "laying wood" isn't a stat category. blink.gif

Is anyone concerned at all about Priests' injury history?

You can count on Eddie, and because of that he is still worthy of a roster spot, and if I didn't think Julius Jones will get most of the stats, he might still be starter material in fantasy.

I just asked about Holmes because his injury last offseason was supposed to be season threatening, and he came out and never missed a beat. I just wonder if he was playing through pain last season or if there are no issues now. The last thing you want to have happen to your #1 pick is an injury sideline him for a significant amount of time that came out of the blue because he was hiding it. That will wreck a team faster than anything else.

I've chosen to keep my draft thoughts stealthly quiet. I find your question as a way to scout your opponents thoughts in our upcoming fantasy league.

I may take Marcel Shipp. ph34r.gif

Nah, who will take who with the number 1 overall doesn't matter much as far as strategy. We all know that LT and Priest will be gone by pick 3. What would really help is if I knew who everyone's sleepers are, and what players they think are worth the risk. But there's not much revealed in a #1 overall discussion.

Wayne Chrebet is a good sleeper, but if I'm not mistaken, Justin McCareins will be playing for the Jets now. Add him in with Santana Moss and Chrebet's numbers could fall a little.

I got good use out of Trent Green last year while my starting QB (Culpepper) was hurt for a couple of games.

As for rookies, I don't know how Larry Fitzgerald is going to do, but I think the fact that he'll be in Arizona drops Anquan Boldin out of my top 8 receivers.

I don't see any rookie RB's being instant big-time contributors...MAYBE Stephen Jackson in St. Louis if Faulk is hurt as usual. Possibly Jones in Detroit, but I doubt it. Also, the Denver RB situation is interesting...they always seem to field good numbers, no matter who's carrying the ball. They've got Tatum Bell, Quentin Griffin, AND Garrison Hearst...I see RB by committee going into effect there, which is never good for fantasy owners.

I would think that would put both Larry and Anquan in your top 8 or atleast your top 10. Look back a few years to Buress and Hines in Pitt. They fed off eachother. You couldn't shut both down at the same time and more often than not they both had TDs in the game and 100+ yard games. Anquan proved he can be a force in the NFL, if Fitzgerald has the same kind of season Zona is going to have a scarry good offense... defense on the other hand...

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
