BTW, just so it's out there now, I won't be doing tiebreakers; if any RB is within 3% of the top choice, I'll be listing them as 8a and 8b (maybe even 8c)

yeah, now it gets really tough. If you're gunning to win now Edge is man IMO, though he'll have a short shelf-life. I'm intrigued by guys like Fargas and Julius Jones, though I don't think I'd take either of them over Felix Jones.

 
Had a tough time between the Jones' Boyz!

Went with Thomas as he has little wear & tear and is not an injury concern like JJ is.

The possibility that NYJets do not take McFadden makes TJ a better option IMO.

If McFadden lands with the Jets.... they both drop a little.

 
Bradshaw had a nice playoff run but I don't understand all the love here having him that high. That said I was tempted by Young as an interesting gamble. Instead I went in the opposite direction for a gamble pick instead of young w/ potential went to the tried and proven veteran.

I am the one so far with the OTHER vote with a gamble on Shaun Alexander. I am guessing he will be healthy and the O line improved. I do not see Jones as an immediate threat for taking over and if Alexander does bounce back Jones will have to move on like Ahman Green back in the day.

If you want to gamble, do it on a player like Bradshaw. You know what you are getting with SA, thats not a gamble, thats giving your money away.

I don't know who you're talking about, the closest I see had 1222 rushing and 204 receiving in 2007.

PFR says 1222 and 204 as well.Let's see... NFL.com, PFR, or FBG? :lmao:

 
Interesting, Bradshaw and JJ going toe to toe! I can't get rid of the thought on how Bradshaw was clearly the better NYG back during the playoff run, great o-line and plenty of upside.

IMO, Bradshaw has a higher ceiling--we have seen JJ's and it isn't elite--but RIGHT NOW JJ has a better situation as he really has no one in front of him. He DOES has Duckett who is getting good $$$, and who will likely take the goal line carries just as Barber did in Dallas, and personally, I will be surprised if Seattle doesn't draft someone in the first day to be the back of the future.In short, JJ offers more immediate and likely return, but Bradshaw offers more upside for the future.

Agreed.People in my leagues have made offers for him but nothing enough to get me to let Bradshaw go. 1st round pick in 2009. I like Bradshaws chances to have starting role by then more than a unknown rookie.There is some risk involved with him. But look at his ability. Look at where he has come from. Look at the Giants history. See Tiki Barber.People who cannot see the opportunity here are just putting their heads in the sand.

Considering how he did last year with a new coach and scheme, I could see him as a RB2 for the next two years then starting to taper off.Even if you get two years at 90% of what he did last year, that's better than RB28.

Sure you can go for a rookie or lesser proven player, but again I prefer those who have already performed at a high level. Yes the downside is coming, but I'll take 2 years of good performance.

I agree with you, but at this point people are expecting the Cards to take a RB. I'm totally shuked at the Bradshaw voters.

If Bradshaw had showed more during the regular season I might have agreed with you but he didn't - Young would go ahead of Bradshaw at this point if I were gambling on longterm youth/potential.It would appear you are not a believer that Alexander can bounce back and you may be right - obviously Seattle wanted an insurance policy with Jones. I would take that gamble over Bradshaw right now (don't get me wrong I am not knocking Bradshaw but simply think he is getting to much love now because of a good run (with the rest of the team) through the playoffs and do not think that is a good indicator of how he will do over the course of next season)

If you're worried about a $5M house, you spend maybe 10% on an insurance policy (likely less, I know, work with me here). You do NOT buy another $5M house.Seattle is done with SA.

One thing is obvious, and thats SA is done, thats why Seattle signed two free agent RB's.

oh I agree with you. At this point its a good pickup. If you are in a complete rebuilding mode for your team, then I would look elsewhere, but if you are close with a very solid team, I would take Edge in a heartbeat.
 
I can't seem to give Edge away in one of my leagues.

I haven't sent too many offers out there, but I am asking

other owners if they are interested in acquiring him, and they

are staying away like he's the plague. I agree with Pasquino

here, I like Edge a lot for the next couple of seasons.

Most I've talked to think Arizona is going to spend a 1st round pick on a RB,

thus decreasing Edge's value substantially.

I'm guess I'll have to use the #8 overall FF RB as my #3 RB for 2008..... not so bad.

I totally disagree with this line of thinking. At this point, a fantasy team already has some proven players. To pick a player that has already peaked and get no exit value in return is not a good choice. If you pick a talented rookie here, even if you don't like what you see, chances are you can still sell the "potential" angle to someone and get decent value. Edge will be worthless in a year. I still say the smartest strategy is to get players before they peak, with an emphasis on talent rather than situation. Felix Jones, Ray Rice, and Jamal Charles are all worth more than Edge.
