Yeah that is true. Denver really may have the worst Defense in the conference and some receiving core although Marshall may be out for 4 games. I would say the league but the Lions have to hold that distinction.

Jewru – I agree, Rosenfels could be a sneaky late round pick at QB. Also, Addai will be drafted far too high in fantasy leagues. Give me Donald Brown instead.

I hope McDaniels fails, but I think Orton could also be a good sleeper with those weapons in that system and with a terrible D.

Great writeup. Agree with most. Especially the Belichick comment. The Raiders have become more embarassing than the Lions and Bengals combined. How Davis does not take Crabtree there is criminal for sure. I personally think Percy Harvin ( If he indeeed temporarily stays out of trouble) is the most dynamic player in the draft and could be this years Chris Johnson. He is not only a blazer but pound for pound the strongest guy in the draft. I think he benched 225 24 times at 180 pounds. Rosenfels can certainly be a top 10 QB you can get in the end game of drafts. His line is perhaps the best in football and his weapons are underrated.

Joseph Addai sucks!!! Say night night.

Can’t wait to see Denver go 3-13 . Looking forward to start RB’s against them all year long.

I actually have him 5th – right behind Turner and ahead of D. Williams. That will probably be higher than any other list.

Keith – Crabtree is going to be sick…The Al Davis situation really is painful to watch. Funny. But painful. At least I’m no longer in last in the Scoop league!

Dreamweapon – I did like what GB did. Raji was a terrific pick. Lucky he fell. I would have probably taken him over Tyson Jackson. I agree the Packers are primed for a playoff run.

Your friend’s dad is hardly the only Raider fan who wishes Davis’ death.

I am fired up for Crabtree. It might just be time to replace my JJ Stokes jersey.

Inept ownership is one of the most depressing things in sports. If I didn’t hate the Raiders with such a passion, I’d almost feel bad. Of course, rooting for the 49ers and Warriors ain’t exactly easy these days.

I had fun being in 1st place in the Scoop league for 1 day before my pitching decided to crap the bed and give up 20 runs in 10 innings….ugh. Chris Carpenter, come back!!! The Clams need you!!

Belichick is fine and all, but I think I’d rather take an elite QB and just lure Ron Wolf out of retirement.

Speaking of, how did you reel off that impressive barrage with nary a word about the Pack’s haul? They seemed like easily the most powerful non-playoff team in the NFC last season, missing out only after being let down by their D repeatedly. To grab a man-mountain in the Jamal Williams mold, together with one of the elite LBs in the entire draft, has to be seen as a coup, right? I guess you never want to rely on rookies too much, but a D-line containing Raji, Cullen Jenkins and Ryan Pickett should be plenty stout, and the LB corps positively sparkles with talent….Kampman/Barnett/Hawk/Matthews should be beyond fearsome once they get the scheme down. That might be the most athletic group in the league right now. Too bad Justin Harrell is a total bum or their front seven would really have sky-high promise. Still, overall, if there’s a team in the NFL primed for a five-plus-win swing on the season (remember, even though they went 6-10, they outscored their opposition by 50 points on the year), I say it’s the Packers, and in large part due to a deft draft.

As for the Raiders, a buddy’s father (lifelong Raiders fan) sent me this email last night: “The Raiders are bad, are going to suck. Nothing is going to change till that crackhead dies. They should lock him the trunk of his car on draft day. Cable is a puppet. Davis should coach this mess and quit wasting money on guys who are head coach in name only. The NFL should take all the Picks away from them, that way they couldn’t make a bad pick. One more year and they can change their name to the Lions.”
