Draft Reviews (#7-9)

2010 Draft Review #7: Crimson Pride

Good QB, TE, and decent WRs. A lot of potential and a lot of question marks with his RBs. Two rookies, a backup, and two guys who haven't shown they can carry a full workload over a season. I wouldn't be suprised seeing the Pride finishing at the top or the bottom of the league.

Best Pick: Felix Jones (5). He gets hurt a lot, but he's easily a Top-5 RB when healthy. A good value in the 5th round.

Biggest Reach: Ryan Mathews (1). Way too high for such an unknown quantity. His upside is equal to the normal performance of a lot of guys picked after him.

Potential Keeper: Justin Forsett (13). He's shown some skills last year. Now (like a lot of guys here) all he needs to do is show durability.

Projected Record: 6 - 8 wins

2010 Draft Review #8: Nads of Steel

A pretty good team other than the dreck at the WR spots. It's hard to see any of them putting big numbers as they're either too old (Driver), too young (Bryant), are in a bad situation (Wallace), or is a headcase (Crabtree). There probably isn't enough depth here either to trade for a WR.

Best Pick: Tim Tebow (11). His "heart", "will-to-win", and "intangibles" makes him a steal in any round.

Biggest Reach: Donald Driver (5). As usual, Jason likes his meat well-aged. I'm not too enthusiastic over a 35-yo WR who's 1.) the 2nd opton and 2.) playing with a QB who gets banged up a lot.

Potential Keeper: Mike Wallace (13). Probably won't put up big numbers this year due to Pittsburgh's QB situation. But he's young, playing opposite an old WR (Ward), and he should hopefully be playing with Big Ben for a full season next year.

Projected Record: 5-7 wins

2010 Draft Review #9: Bama Runts

Larry Johnson? Carson Palmer? Lee Evans? Someone tell the new guy it's 2010 and not 2006. I'm not too jazzed about either DeAngelo Williams or Brandon Jacobs either. Williams, despite his status as the lead RB, has gotten less carries and less TDs than J. Stewart did last year. Jacobs can't stay healthy and he's only had one season as a top RB.

Best Pick: Austin Collie (12). He got the second most receptions and TDs among Indy WRs last year. A worthwhile gamble for a 12th round pick.

Biggest Reach: Carson Palmer (4). A 4th round pick for a guy who barely reached 3,000 pass yards last year?

Potential Keeper: Darrius Heyward-Bey(13). Talented, young, and no longer playing with JaMarcus ("Shitty Player") Russell. Besides, Al Davis can't live forever, right?

Projected Record: 4-6 wins
