Nicks is I believe #7 right now on our list, but these guys are interchangeable, especially when they go to their teams. Should have the whole rookie report up late this afternoon.

The other guys just haven't shown they can handle the load. It's my belief that if Jennings had stayed at Pitt, he would be the #2 RB in this class.

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:44:59 +0000 http://www.fantasyguru.com/blog/?p=411#comment-7599 Great list and I agree outside of your assessment of Rashad Jennings, seems your selling him a bit short...He's built more like Steven Jackson then Derrick Ward, his stock has rose all the way to early 2nd, and he could be a guy like Andre Brown who could be a 20 carry back for a team. I am very high on Brown and Jennings, two big backs with good speed that will get over shadowed because as many as 6 WR's could go first round.

We're not ones to read up on what everyone else says about these players, so we'll have the skinny on him soon. We haven’t fully scouted him out yet (Cook).

The problem with the RBs is there are a good number of good ones, but only 1-2 who will likely be true featured backs. Of course, 1-2 others could surprise; you don't really know until they put the pads on. WR is deep but not a lot of studs, maybe 2. TE is decent. It's not a bad class all in all. Not great, but not bad. Stafford looks like an elite guy, so that’s good. The problem with the RBs is there are a good number of good ones, but only 1-2 who will likely be true featured backs.

Stafford is good but top RB, WR, and TE appear to be only average in your opinion. True? it appears you think this draft is pretty much a bust.

He fits that mold of guys who come from unheralded programs and perform early in the NFL. As always the situation these guys get drafted into has alot to do with who gets opportunities but Brown could be great for fantasy teams in 2009 I love Brown outta UCONN.
