Gentlemen ... we are looking at about 50 days until the 2007 FPT Chi-town Draft!!! As we prepare for the inagural event I have had a few thoughts that I wanted to share with the masses.
1. Will Ricky B. be able to pass on Peyton Manning when he is staring him in the face at the 10-11 loop with Vince Young being kept...maybe you're forced to throw VY back in the pot to avoid the 2-quarterback quandry the kid may face again. Tough call!!!
2. Perhaps Conley actually drafts #85 with his first round pick forgeting that he wasn't even ranked in the top 30 wide-outs for over half the year...thank goodness for the 2 Lee Evans games he had late!!! Seriously, no way you pass on a guy who beat a horse on foot and is due for a monster season.....do you.....maybe???
3. Maybe Rick won't face the Manning decision because Brain realizes there is no sure fire pick at the 5 spot once Bush and Westbrook are off the board - don't yo have to take the sure thing???
4. No way Dan passes on Portis in round 2 ... unless he sees Betts as a huge problem. At least he'll be able to draft someone like Cedric Benson who will get the majority if not all the carries for Da Bears -- "don't they run a lot???"
5. Sucks for PSkert because he wants to take Benson but can't pass on Bush or Westbrook despite Westbrook being injury prone and Bush split time with Duece...not to mention the long standing tradition of the 2nd year slump thing!!!
Truthfully, I think I'd rather be drafting where he is because in our leauge those two guys are money!!!
6. Here's a thought --- D-nice is looking to defend his title and three-peat...impressive to say the least, however, can you repeat with Maroney and T.O. in the 1st and 2nd and giving up your 3rd rounder on a keeper who isn't even sure he wants to attend training camp, carried the ball over 400 times and who's best blocker may be Tony G. .... OUCH!!!!!!
7. Will the Shadow feel comfortable with DeAngelo and S-Jax in the backfield or does he look to sure it up with one of his favorites...Mr. Thomas Jones in the 2nd.....I think he has too considering DeShaun Foster just won't go away!
I'm done for now...I'll chack in later.....Vogel and Drury .... honestly, I haven't though tmuch about it because I think you both see things pretty well so I know you'll do well!

Jay-
I am very aware of Ocho Cinco numbers from last year and how they were derived. I have read it no less than 3 times in 3 different publications (that's right Conley is in summer school and doing his homework). Beating a horse in the offseason is quite an accomplishement and he may be rewarded for this feat by being invited into the D and D "family".
You my friend must be in angst knowing that LT's best years are behind him. He will not replicate (or come close) to those numbers in '07. Too many backs have a stellar year and then falter especially when there is a player nipping at his heels (Turner may be kept just to be used as a chip to trade with you- he is invaluable as a back-up- much like my other potential keeper- Betts). Drew Brees is on the market and available for trading. All offers will be reviewed.
As you have done every year "hold your breath, pray and wish you could win a Championship".
Pain Train Brothers,
D&D has a great point.....Isn't it funny each year to see the "expert" commentary from our two lovely commissioners? I like the fact that they spend the entire summer "researching" and buying Borders out of all their fantasy magazines but still end up falling short in end. Maybe one day they will see a little better ROI. Maybe they should look to spend a little more time in reality rather than fantasy?
Good luck to all.
