I think Jacksonville will draft a Rb on the 1st day.

I can't imagine why, frankly. His stats don't look horrible on a quick glance, but he makes Manning look mobile and is inconsistent....overall not exactly comforting coming from a top 10 pick several years ago IMO.
Wilford does look promising, but the jury is very much out on Jones, and IMO that rocket scientist Williams is this close to officially being a bust. Add to the fact that Smith is older than dirt....Not saying they should draft WR or QB early, but it is or should be more of a concern than it appears to be, I think.

I expected this as well, but Edge didn't even go there for an interview. I don't know if Edge had a meeting scheduled after Arizona and the Cards just sold him on inking a deal before going to Jax, but I didn't hear anything like that. I'm susprised that they didn't go after any RB's at all. Does all this mean they are happy with the Fred/Jones tandem? Does this mean they draft someone at RB day 1? Considering they don't draft till something like 28, I doubt they go RB in round 1. More value at other positions at that spot. But I could see them going RB day 1....

Last year JV turned out to be one of those dreaded RB by comittees.
Drafting a rookie RB probably will only make it worst. I will sit on Fred one more year in the two dynasty leagues I have him and hope I manage to get a few starts out of him unless I get some great offes for him and that is highly unlikely compared to the garbage I was offered last year for him.
One interesting note I came up with that could be useful for those of you sitting on Fred like me. I originaly had Edge projected to sign with JV and came up with these interesting stats trying to project Edge in JV. Edge had the same fantasy points in INDY last year as the combination of Fred, JONES, Toefield and Pearlman for what it's worth.
Fred being healthy an entire year and holding off all the other competion has a potentional of a top ten back. But that is a big if as even healthy I expect Jones to get a lot of work again this year.

I'd expect Taylor to do even less than he did last year. It seemed to me that the coaching staff just didn't have a ton of confidence in him. He had one monster game and then after that there was all this talk of saving FT for the stretch run. When the strech run came if was full time RBBC for the Jags. I can't see Greg Jones having a lesser role this year (unless he gets hurt) if anything he'll get 15-20% more carries all at the expense of FT. I'd say a #3 RB at best.

I drafted him as a 3 rb both leagues I own him. So a 3 rb production would be fine by me. Unfortunatly there were few games he was even worthy of a 3 rb last year.

He's neither dead to me nor is he a guy to particularly target. He's never been a stud since about year 3 in his career (2000) which was the last time he reached double digit TD's; even when healthy he barely ever sneaks into the top 10 in RB's.
He's either a decent value at RB2 with some injury risk or a very strong value at RB3 as a primary backup.

A few games or a few months? In the last 10 games of the season it seems to me the guy only had one good game and even that was against the HOU defense.November Rushing Receiving Fumbles

if they draft a young RB in jax, it seems like a fantasy mess for RBs there, with fred getting a decent but not great amount of yards, jones stealing a bunch of TD, from him but still not getting enough yards to be worthwhile, and the rookie just picking into jones and taylors stats

I traded Mike Anderson for Fraud Taylor in a dynasty last year. Desperation move during Anderson's bye week. Of Course, in true Taylor fashion, he promptly got injured the next game.
