After watching, listening and reading NFL draft all weekend, I figured I’d share a few thoughts with you. I know its a little overdue but better late than never.

First, from a selfish, fantasy football point of view I was really hoping that the Jets would snag McFadden. I figure the Raiders backfield will be tricky the way it is with Michael Bush and Fargas but now McFadden too? Guess I am just an old school fantasy player trying still trying to get used to all these RBBC’s.

No surprise here but Felix Jones in Dallas should be a good fit. He’ll step right into Julius Jones former role and hack away at Marion Barber stats. Not sure that means a whole lot to fantasy layers but it is what it is. I did hear a comment by someone though - can’t remember - saying something about how ineffective Barber was late in the game when he started games so maybe this is a good thing. Bottom line, Barber is a RB2 and Felix is a RB3 at best - for now.

Caralina’s Jonathan Stewart is one to watch during training camp as he will be battling with DeAngelo Williams for playing time. This unit could provide some value in your draft even with a RBBC. With a healthy Delhomme back under center the Panthers should be back in business - something that other owners with short memories may overlook.

Observation…Why do the Titans always reach for running backs and never draft a solid number #1 for Vince?

Is WR James Hardy the man who will be able to keep defense’s honest and off of Lee Evans back? Let’s hope so. After a disappointing, double and triple teamed year for Evans, any receiver with a pulse aught to provide a little upside for Evans.

File this away in the back of your mind; Mel Kiper says that Kevin Smith will be Lions starting running back on opening day.

That should do it for today. I know I didn’t hit on all the teams but those where just a few of the things that jumped out at me. Besides I am starting a podcast and I will posting the very first episode later this week and I wanted to save some stuff for the show. See you then.
