| Boy, did he redeem his last pick....McCaffrey is in my average-good 2nd WR area. This was quite a steal. Receivers I have ranked under him who have gone already: Chambers, Burress, Toomer, Gardner, Rice, Booker, one of the Conway/Coles brothers, Thrash. It usually feels good to scrape a pick like this out of the bottom of the barrell. I don't see how Dyson could be wanted more than Keenan McCardell. Especially from a guy who trusts the Tampa Bay passing game. He told me in a recent IM, and if you'll remember, this is the Norman who took Brad Johnson a few rounds ago. Dyson is in my bottom of the 3rd receivers area. So Norman's receivers are a bottom #1, a mid #3, and a bottom #3. Whoa! I'm sure this made Phil unhappy. Phil was trying to predict where this would happen, so he could get them a little bit early, but he had to be a bastard and steal Johnnie Morton from me instead of taking the Pittsburgh D. Bastard. Looks like a little visit from the Karma Police (which I just found out is the name of a pretty good song, by the way) was in order. A fine pick. I slightly prefer James Stewart and Jamal Lewis. I'll use my reverse-psychic powers and say that Charlie Garner is destined for a ridiculous week 1. He will out-produce just about everyone. I don't know how he will do this, but he just will, and then get less than half the production from there on out. Oooh.. Nice pick. My next highest QBs after him are Couch, Dilfer (who is related to my worst pick of the draft), Testaverde, Collins, Carter, and Miller. You can forget about those last two. The weird thing about quarterbacks, though, is that guys like Testaverde and Collins aren't really viewed as good, but they can always produce decent points, week in and week out. Sigh....the last of my big secrets. Here, I started getting really annoyed that I had seemed to wait just one round too long for every one of my secrets. Barber will also add a little bit of return yards into the mix. I think I might have overvalued that a little bit, for the sake of making him jump out (I don't really value him over guys like Stephen Davis and William Green), but he's still gonna be pretty good Time for a Jason and Oleg alert: they have just typed in their 1000th line complaining about the length of this draft. They should win a prize or something. Anyway, this pick is fine. I have him in the mid-3rd WR area. This is his third WR. Right on schedule. So far, he has a top second, mid second, and mid third. That top second can probably be pushed into the first since he was no longer a holdout. The first thing I think of whenever I think about Hilliard: a while ago, I tried leaving a clue on my away message about a song, and have people try to fill in a blank or something. Here was the clue one night: S-H-A-I, my oh my, whaddya know, on the mic, it's the man called _______. Jenn confidently IMed me with "IKE!!!!!!!!". She thought this was the answer because it rhymed with mic. It was funny. I swear. Gee....I sure would have liked Tiki Barber here. I can't say I hate having Lewis as my 3rd RB since he falls into the mid-bottom of my second RB area, but I would have preferred to not have this bum on my team. Neat fact: did you guys know that he left college early because Travis Henry was going to end up with his starting job at Tennessee? Also, Todd Helton had to leave when Peyton Manning came to QB. Cool, huh? Oh my lord, this is the best team by far in our league. Oops...my watch must've stopped. It's not 1994? How about 1995? '96? 2002?!?!?! Arun has Favre, Bledsoe, Hearst, Rice, and Smith. About 8 years ago, this was who was contending/pro-bowling/becoming the next generation. Arun should change his team name to Team Longevity or something. Phil says his "team is just like him: the Grandpas" Antonio Freeman? He's barely in the NFL anymore. I have to really question Oleg's rankings after his last two picks. Maybe he's a Pack fan, or Arun's Emmitt Smith pick stirred up some nostalgia in Mr. Levine. Whatever the case may be, Oleg's head is big. Not bad, not bad. The best RB left, in my opinion. Stewart quietly puts up OK numbers. The reason it is quiet is because the opposing RB easily doubles his production. He falls into my bottom 2nd to top 3rd area. Nice pick for Dokun Winners: everyone except Pokey and Oleg Losers: BuJustin again. Also the guy I saw trip in front of me today. It was funny. He somehow walked up onto the curb, almost fell all the way over, sideways, caught himself, and sprinted about 100 yards like that was his plan. I shook my head and thought "damn....that's all I woulda done too. I was trying so hard not to laugh, because I know it's gonna be me tomorrow. Damn stumbling. It's so hard to cover up. |
