I
debated grabbing a second kicker, but ultimately decided that it
wasn’t a necessity at this juncture. Instead, I worked through
a number of receiving options and settled on Davis. The Chicago
receiving corps is still unsettled, and Davis (35 catches for
445 yards in 2008) should have an opportunity to compete for a

A second DT is
required and the Colts can be a positive backup. They were so

We debated another pass catcher
(Bryant Johnson DET) or a RB#5 here for our last roster
spot. In truth, Johnson likely will outscore Betts this year,
but the upside for Betts was far higher. And with the patience
we showed in drafting RB#2 and RB#3, this longshot was one
worth taking. If the oft-dinged Portis goes down, Betts will
step in and be a very solid RB#2 in any scoring format. Portis
is also a very "old" 28-years old and has a lot of
mileage on him, so a breakdown could always be imminent. Just
keep him available for the press conferences...

Just went for the best available

Holm DT 49ers QB: McNabb Orton Campbell RB: CJohnson KSmith Thomas McGahee Sproles WR: CJohnson Bryant Berrian Hixon Maclin Walker TE: Witten Boss PK: Crosby Brown DT: Redskins 49ers |

Really just a "best-available
D" pick at this point. I had hoped the Cardinals D
would fall but they didn't, I did think about the Jags D here
too, but ultimately liked the upside of the 49'ers better.
They scored a lot last
year and are an up and comer in the team D world so I'll take my chances with them. I was targeting someone from the NFC West as that division just looks easiest to me this year which left either the 49'ers or Rams D and I much prefer the 49'ers as I'm not entirely sure that the Rams have a defense at all this year. =================================================================================== |

Duane
Cahill RB Edgerrin James QB: Manning Flacco RB: SJackson Jacobs LJohnson Mendenhall James WR: Royal Ward Crabtree Burress Henry Engram Robiskie TE: Gonzalez Keller PK: Gostkowski Longwell DT: Texans Cardinals |
|
|
So I pick my second player not
currently on a roster after Plaxico Burress. I would
expect that James will
have an opportunity to come in to someone's camp and split some carries. In essence, he had all of 2008 to rest his aging bones and is worth a flyer in the last round. =================================================================================== |

Craig
Davis RB Kevin Jones QB: Schaub Cassel Culpepper RB: Forte Barber FJones Jackson Maroney Choice KJones WR: Bowe Edwards Holmes Austin Harvin BJones TE: Carlson Scheffler PK: Gould: DT: Cowboys |
|
|
Not even sure if he gets the RB2 job
in Chicago or not, but can't hurt to have one of Forte's
backups.

Greg
Kellogg PK Jason Hanson QB: Brady DelHomme RB: Tomlinson Wells DBrown Fargas Bush WR: Owens VJackson Mason SSmith Burleson Britt TE: Clark Ingram PK: Lindell Hanson DT: Jets Bills |
|
| Every
team has to have at least one home town pick. I have been
a Lions fan for years and the way Hanson boomed his 50-yard
attempts last year why not pick him up? =================================================================================== |

Matt
Pitzer PK Olindo Mare QB: Rivers Palmer Quinn RB: Jones-Drew Grant Lewis Norwood Morris WR: Wayne RWilliams SMoss Curtis Heyward-Bay TE: Olsen Davis PK: Tynes Mare DT: Packers Bucs |
|
| Mare
making it through all of 2008 as the Seahawks' kicker, and not
ceding time to Brandon Coutu, was a big surprise. Now I hope he can do it again. I expect especially to QB Matt Hasselbeck, and that could help Mare score even more. I realize, however, that he could be booted in favor of Coutu at any time. =================================================================================== |

TC
Cannon PK Josh Brown QB: Brees Russell RB: Turner Moreno FTaylor Charles BJackson WR: Fitzgerald SMoss Cotchery Moore Nicks Bennett JJones TE: Winslow Shockey PK: Kaeding Folk JBrown DT: Giants Colts |
|
| PK
Brown is my third PK. Don't giggle. It's not as weird as you
might first think. Last season, the three kickers successfully split starts (Folk-4, Gostkowski-6, Gould-7) in this best-ball scoring format. When the Rams fail near the redzone, they must rely on their points from Brown. I am expecting a few 34-16 Rams' games. Aren't you? =================================================================================== |

Chris
Dolfi | Tom Walls WR Keenan Burton QB: Rodgers Hill Pennington RB: Peterson RBrown JJones Hightower Graham WR: White Evans Avery Ginn Gage Bradley Burton TE: Fasano Pettigrew PK: Bironas Hartley DT: PHI: |
|
| (insert
trumpet fanfare) And the 2009 FAD's Mr. Irrelevant is... Keenan Burton!! (wait for applause) Yes, we only have one defense, and if we would have selected one it would have been the Jags, but we've been taking a bye week zero on defense for years in the FAD and it hasn't hurt us yet. The Eagles D will be just fine for us on an every week basis. So we bolstered our WR corps with Burton. OK, maybe 'bolstered' is too strong a word for a guy who only caught 13 passes all last year - but we couldn't pass up a #2 WR on a team that is going to be forced to chuck the ball around to stay in games. We also figure that between our earlier pick of Avery and now Burton we're bound to hit a good week or two when the Rams strike pay-dirt. (take final bow) (accept bouquet of roses from FAD stage manager) (exit stage left) =================================================================================== |
