1.01 SchoolGirls - Chris Johnson
What looked like a decision with all the "Peterson getting 400 touches" talk now feels like a mortal lock considering the competition seems to be hampered "All Day". True - Ray Rice could be argued here but Drury wanted the #1 spot because of Chris Johnson coming off an insane amount of touches which is just too good to pass up...unless you consider too many touches a bad thing, right Michael Turner owners?
1.02 DNice - Adrian Peterson
Tough call for the 3-time champ! Your not a Ray Rice guy despite what he did to your second favorite team in the playoffs last year. But these vibes out of Minnesota must scare even the most stoic of GMs. In the end, despite your consistent appreciation for high target wide receivers (see Furrey, Welker, Smith...) you find Andre Johnson too tall for your liking and roll with the RB expected to see a bump in pass targets and garner all of the goal line work.
1.03 Juice - Andre Johnson
We know. You love AJ. He's hands-down the best PPR player out there. And it's a luxury to not have to pursue him throughout the Fall months. Plus you know there won't be another WR with half of AJ's certainty later...not even in the second which you smartly shopped!
1.04 Juice - Randy Moss
And the reasons above are exactly why you're rolling with Randy in the 4 spot! You smirk but you know it! Let's face it - you didn't really get all that Wag's talk about RB values in rounds 2-5 and how Hines Ward is likely going way too soon but once you recommitted yourself, you came around. Now, knowing that UCB saw your powerplay with one of his own, it convinces you that you must go WR/WR because if not, you not only need to hit later in the draft, but you'll need to hit well enough to trade for Randy Moss.
1.05 Legend - Ray Rice
Once again Senuta throws you for a loop. In typical fashion, you've been goaded by one of the greats and you aren't even present in the War Room! So good luck making the call in the middle of a bunch of young kids who are way too young for 5-night a week practices let alone needing to manage their weight for crying out loud...You go Ray Rice in the end because your squad of minions resemble his size!
1.06 Flava - Calvin Johnson
And Larry Fitzgerald slips...but what does this mean? I'll tell you. Matt Stafford is better than Matt Leinart. Not sure going sexiness here over 90+ catches every single season is what the experts would deem "safe" but Richard loves to swing for the fences because nothing feels better than living up to your expectations. It's official - Flava rolls out the first bust!
1.07 PE - Larry Fitzgerald
Here you go Mr. Depth Chart! You can book it because the Arizona Depth Chart is what most of us would call shallow. It looks like this...
Starting WRs: Fitzgerald and Brain, I mean Breaston
But be careful, you know Peyton isn't coming back so are you really comfortable rolling with Tom Brady considering Welker's injury, Mankins holding out, and Kaczur done for the season? And 14 is too early to go Schaub with his injury history and a regressed Owen Daniels. Or maybe you're thinking UCB won't go QB early because he never does.
1.08 Ninja Mafia - Reggie Wayne
I'm actually not entirely convinced you're rolling Reggie here to be honest. You've said it yourself - the early rounds haven't been kind to you. Well, with that said and given the fact many of us have read far from flattering pieces written about Reggie this season (like the weapons at Peyton's disposal, getting back to the run balance, the abyssmal stretch performance in 2009...), I wonder if we could see a curve ball here and his name isn't Steven Jackson. I actually think despite being tormented by Jennings last season, you're smart enough to know that Greg might just be the safest pick you could make given his finish in 09 and the trend of players getting back after a down season let alone having the game's best QB throwing him the ball.
1.09 UCB - Steven Jackson
I feel like the United here - sit on your late pick and let the value fall. Well, come to Papa, SJax...I may not fully appreciate your featured back role now, but I trust you'll convince me as the season wears on. Plus, every RB after you gets an A+ in "sharing" which doesn't exactly get any "bonus" points in my book.
1.10 D&D - Anquan Boldin
Homer. I am a bit surprised how he's actually ranked right there with Jennings, DJax, Steve Smith (the angry one) according to numerous PPR rankings. As Juice always says - if you like him, go get him. But I followed that advice a few years back and effectively donated my fees after grabbing Dominick Davis and Kevin Jones with my first two picks. The good news is you have two chances to get it right here!
2.01 D&D - Ryan Mathews
Much more certainty at RB here than at 30! You know what this tells everyone else though, right? That you are going IDP at your next pick! The wideouts aren't good value there. The running backs, albeit plentiful, feel like one big RBBC, and you already have Celek and with no Gates left to grab, that leaves us one direction...gentleman, start your engines!
2.02 UCB - Greg Jennings
I lived the nightmare for the better part of last season but I love nothing more than rolling multiple options in a high powered offense - huh, you say? Multiple options? That's right boys - Jermichael Finley is coming home! And considering Juice has Rodgers and competes every year, I love me some Packer targets!
2.03 UCB - Peyton Manning
This ain't some peace pipe, Dan. This smoke resembles PAIN! Did you know Peyton had 9 - 300 yard games last season? You must not, even though you had him in 09 because you let him slip by you. You had your chance. Now pick the next best one... And now I'm off to spend the next hour baking cookies for you schmucks!
2.04 PE - Tom Brady
Sucks to know that you can't pass on a QB here because Legend and DNice each have two picks and a QB need before your next. Not much else to say, frankly...
2.05 Flava - DJax
Surprised? Me too. But from what I've seen, nobody ever finishes as a top-10 WR in a PPR with less than 70 catches. This is why I think you might go Steve Smith here instead because the Matt Moore talk is baseless when you look at his numbers the second half of 2009.
2.06 Legend - Steve Smith
You hate it because let's face it, there is nothing exciting about rolling with a guy so brittle he hurts himself playing flag football. But, you know that despite wanting to go too early on the next one (I'm thinking JSTew...), and the fact you can't pull the trigger on DeAngelo, you go back to the well and by doing so, (ironically) fully lay your trust in an offense that has the leading rushing attack in the league.
2.07 Brain - DeAngelo Williams
After placing a call into your Daddy - aka The Shadow - you emphatically grab a dropping DeAngelo. Unfortunately the Shadow was a year too early and you my friend will be a year too late...But it's tough to pass on a value RB in the very spot that Juice always finds a stud!
2.08 Brain - Hines Ward
I would like to think you problem solved your way around reaching for a banged up Welker or Vincent "6 games" Jackson but "problem" and "solving" rarely go together in Brain's World! Plus, more importantly, ketchup is your favorite condiment...
2.09 DNice - Wes Welker
You just can't let him pass you. Ever since the ACL got torn late last season you've been targeting white lightning late 2nd/early 3rd. In fact, I have a sneaky suspicion that Welker's uncertainty had more to do with picking the #2 spot than wanting a stud RB/WR because you ultimately believed that WW would fall. Too much credit? 3-time champs can never get too much credit...
2.10 SchoolGirls - Chad Ochocinco
This is what happens when you go at the #1 spot... Enjoy the circus! Not too sure he's the best bet here but what do I know - I only went rbs at 1,20, 21, 41 last season and you saw how that worked out! 2nd in the power rankings if that means anything...
3.01 SchoolGirls - Beanie Wells
You can't imagine who is sitting here at this point and feel thankful that the newest family man from Arizona can hold off the chronically mediocre Tim Hightower. Hopefully all that Butt Paste doesn't make his fingers slippery! Insane tidbit? Perhaps. But this is how deep UCB goes in our evaluation process!
3.02 DNice - Matt Schaub
Don't worry Matt, your name tag has never left the locker...it's called United loyalty! You keep winning championships and the contract gets renewed - right B Dawk?
3.03 Brain - Sidney Rice
Like DeAngelo in the second, you are visibly stunned that Sidney is sitting here! I mean - he's ranked in the top-7 in your magazine...what the hell is everyone else reading? Uh. Medical reports and Favre texts. Enjoy!
3.04 Brain - Knowshon Moreno
Speaking of medical reports, can this guy really be as healthy as McDaniel is making him out to be? Well, last I heard, Ladell Betts and Brian Westbrook were brought into Denver only to have LenWhale move his Cheetos and Blunts into the team headquarters. One word: desperate.
3.05 Legend - Antonio Gates
Reunited with the guy who beat UCB last season despite a monster Monday night by Jared Allen! Great value and surprisingly unsexy for you Freddy...nice work! I hope passing up Javid and the rest of the available backs is worth it.
3.06 Flava - Jonathan Stewart
You went with him inside 4 last season so he has to go even higher in 2010. I get the sense that people are giving too much deference to DeAngelo lately and the right back to draft is the younger, stronger, and better version of DeAngelo. One of the better picks of the night so far...
3.07 PE - Santana Moss
Too early to go here but if you want him, like Peyton, you gotta go before Ninja and D&D cover the next 6 picks. Look at the wideouts left - Moss is right there. Plus, do you really want to go RB here and force yourself to miss the IDP beginning in the event that Moss actually slides to 34?
3.08 Ninja - Vincent Jackson
You feel like you're playing with house money here so you take a chance on rekindling some of that San Diego love despite the uncertainty. After all, if we knew what was happening do you really think he would still be here? Not to mention, Conley has his own affinity with all things Chargers over the years (see Gates, Sproles, LT, Ryan Mathews at #11...) and might not be able to pass him up.
3.09 Ninja - LeSean McCoy
In my opinion, McCoy just feels like a classic Ninja pick. Looks and feels can't miss - induces mad rants and vomit attacks by week 5!
3.10 D&D - Ronnie Brown
So close to bringing Matthew back to the roster but Ronnie is the next best thing, isn't he? You do own his jersey, after all. The question is: do you really want to own this pick given his injury history? Not so much, huh...
