I knew before I even pulled up the page that you would have Jones-Drew, after seeing him listed as #4 on your list. What I didn’t know, however, was that you would also snag Peyton! You are stacked at QB and RB. MJD & Barber will be TD machines, with a good chance of tallying loads of all purpose yardage as well. Jones is a proven yardage back(plus you have a strong Dallas run-game wrapped up), while Lynch and Norwood are prime sleepers. You are also strong at K and D. Chicago is a no-brainer, and I think Hanson will have a great year behind a powerful offense. Miller will have to do at TE. I believe though,in my humble opinion, that you need to beef up at WR. Jackson is your best pick and one I’m looking to snag myself…but he is also unproven. Porter could explode, but just as likely have another extremely poor year as the Raider offense stuggles to find itself. There is no arguing Johnson’s raw talent, but he is just that….raw (from a NFL perspective). He also is sharing receptions and TD’s with a strong corp of receivers in detroit…..not to mention he is a rook. If it were me, I would try to trade an RB (since you are super-stacked at that postion), for a tried and true franchise WR, like a Steve Smith, Torry Holt, or Reggie Wayne. All in all I think you team rates about 8 on a scale of 1-10, and I would love to have it myself. Barring injuries, I would predict at least a post-season appearance. Good luck.

Stonewall,
Thank you for your feedback. You and I are on the same page, I was already planning on trading a running back to upgrade at receiver.

Irvin,
I am planning on trading one of my running backs in exchange for a quality receiver. Thank you for you feedback.
I have Maurice Jones-Drew rated so high, because I think he will rack up over 1000 rushing yards and perhaps even eclipse 20 TDs.
At the beginning of the season, I would five the nod to Bush as Fred Taylor might take away more carries from Jones-Drew early in the year, but as the season progresses, if I were you, I would just pay attention to the matchups on which one to start. Feel free to view my site for suggestions on who to start each week.
Regards,
DR U
