ON THE BUBBLE: LaMont Jordan, Oak, RB;; Jamal Lewis, Bal, RB; Alge Crumpler, Atl, TE; Travis Henry, Ten, RB; Thomas Jones, Chi, RB; Ahman Green, GB, RB; Julius Jones, Dal, RB; Braylon Edwards, Cle, WR; Matt Hasselbeck, Sea, QB; Chris Cooley, Was, TE; Kellen Winslow, Cle, TE; Todd Heap, Bal, TE; Jeremy Shockey, NYG, TE; Bernard Berrian, Chi, WR; Jerricho Cotchery, NYJ, WR; Reggie Brown, Phi, Wr; Donte' Stallworth, Phi, WR; Ben Roethlisberger, Pit, QB; Deion Branch, Sea, WR; Joey Galloway, TB, WR; Santana Moss, Was, WR; Tom Brady, NE, QB; Tony Gonzalez, KC, TE; Ladell Betts, Was, RB; Laveranues Coles, NYJ, WR; Matt Leinart, Ari, QB; Fred Taylor, Jac, RB; Warrick Dunn, Atl, RB; Leon Washington, NYJ, RB; Donovan McNabb, Phi, QB (ACL rehab); Jay Cutler, Den, QB; Vernon Davis, SF, TE;
My two Top 50 picks are the last two.
Jerious Norwood has looked like the better back all season, and Petrino is as advantageous as they come. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the Falcons will have to take a decent cap hit to retain the aging Dunn. Now..the only question with Norwood is whether or not he can stay healthy. I expect to hear more about the ATL run game situation as the season approaches, and I am going to follow the news closely.
The other that stood out was VY, of course. There is no way that he does not rush for 800 and at least 9 TDs. I also think he will pass for 20-25. If there is one thing that I have learned living here in Austin and attending UT during VY's time....it is not to doubt him when he states a goal publicly. The Titans WILL be an AFC playoff team next year, and Vince will consistently put up 15-20 point fantasy games.
Is Brandon Jacobs just a ****wee**** bit high? I mean, is he 1st round "turn material"?!?
Westy at #7 overall is a little odd, as well. I was a Westbrook owner this year and feel like I hit the lottery with no MAJOR injuries out of the guy..It sure was week to week, though. If he can produce again like last year, I would gladly take him at 7. That is not likely though, and we all know it.
I truly think that MJD is a good solid, late first round pick.
the last thing I found interesting is that Funston has two "1bs" in Barber and Benson ranked ahead of the Jones Brothers. I can't wait to see how some of these "platoon" issues play out.

Gotta agree on Jacobs...way too high. He doesn't strike me as a 1,200 yard back, ever. Also, Carson Palmer is too high as well. Would you pass on the next 10 guys or so in order to take Palmer? Why is Kevin Jones listed in the top 50 at all?Deuce McAllister, Edgerrin James, and Mike Vick are all too low. Each showed that their fantasy football lives are far from done last season and each has reason for continued optimism in 07'. The player who is the farthest away from where they should be is Santana Moss...the statistical difference between his career and Steve Smith's isn't that great but he's mentioned in the grab bag section? :buzzer:
