2009 Draft Review: Newport Beach Apples


If Chris had read the new rules carefully enough, perhaps he would have picked on the fact that this league does not have 5 starting spots for wide receivers. How else to explain Chris's selection of 6 receivers in 9 picks in the middle of the draft. While many openly questioned Al Davis's choice of Darrius Heyward-Bey over Michael Crabtree, Chris would face no such critics, as he picked up both in a transparent keeper play.
If, however, Chris's hope is to contend this season, he must get superb production from Philip Rivers and hope that Joseph Addai holds off up-and-comer Donald Brown in Indianapolis. Unfortunately, I don't see both happening.
Key Player: Philip Rivers
Projected Record: 5-7 wins
Potential Keeper: Michael Crabtree (Round 10)
