3rd & Goal ... For two years D-Nice has been the envy of the league benefiting from yet another Ricky H. blunder however, this season not one GM in the league wants what D-"Not-So"-Nice has ... Vog already explained the nightmare that is LJ. Allow me to explain the other less enviable situations. First, picking in the #9 slot forces Mark to have to take a receiver because he won't find anyone like S-Jax late this year in the muddled mix of backs that will be left. So once Conley takes 85 Mark will roll the dice on Steve Smith and pray Delhomme has a decent year. Here's the shocker though...Mark takes another receiver at the 13 spot...Why???...well he realizes that their are only a few top notch pass catchers and he has no 3rd rounder...OUCH! One back and two receivers after 3 rounds...sounds earily similar to his first draft 2 years ago ... problem is he's not rolling with LT -- he's limping in with LJ.
4th & Goal ... Simplly put ... the LJ keeper doesn't allow for Marky Mark to get his guy ... Mr. Tom Brady. WHY?? He misses his third round pick and Brady is gone by his forth because Ricky B. grabs him on the loop. So then what ... Bulger, McNabb, Kitna....Not so fast my friend...he's stuck with needing a back and man are there slim pickens ... LaMont, the Jones Boys, Tatum freaking Bell.............Well the good thing is Mark can at least keep the gunslinger - Mr. Brett Favre....maybe he will three-peat.....well Maybe Not!!!!!!!!!!

Um, one correction... N-S-Nice will not have Tatum Freakin Bell to choose from as the Brain Freeze is most likely keeping him... God help us all!

It's nice to see the co-commisioners are concerned with my situation. To me it's very simple... 25 carries a game + goalline carries + catches out of the backfield - 3rd round pick = threepeat. There is only a handful of true #1 backs left in the NFL and LJ is one of them. The real question in this draft is what the Juiceman does with his #1 - LT has faded late in each of the past two seasons (just in time for Juice's perennial playoff exit) or SJ who has problems holding onto the ball and getting into the endzone.... My prediction, either way you go I see a blown ACL by week 3...... It's OK to be scared boys... See you in ChiTown...
I am not sure the FPT is shaking yet DNICE. That possible "long term" LJ holdout could really toss a wrench into your plans. For your sake, I hope he just holds out for training camp. You better have a Plan B in place because your math could look like this:
0 carries a game
0 goaline carries
0 catches out of the backfield
0 production for your 3rd pick
