Peter,

Thanks for stopping! You make a great case. If any of his re receivers show any signs of a pulse (Holt perhaps?), look out!

I’m high on Garrard this year. Jacksonville’s O-line was destroyed last year, but now they’re healthy with two great new tackles. Their savior at receiver was Troy WIlliamson (ugh) last year, this year they’ve got Holt. They ran, ran, ran last year, this year Fred Taylor is gone.

Two years ago Garrard put up very promising numbers. Last year he put up quite respectable numbers considering his unevniable situation. I think he’ll have a big year this year, and I think he’ll be a huge value in drafts. I’m guessing he’ll be no worse than the 8th best QB even though he’ll be the 20th QB taken. Reach one round for him according to ADP and you’ve got a good QB at a great price.

Thanks for stopping NF,

Very savvy picks. I really like the Jennings pick. Makes sense to me. Don’t be a stranger!

this is an ubersleeper, but what about bernard scott. yeah i know his ridiculous numbers were against D2 teams, but apparently his skills are real impressive. and the bengals top rb is deadlegs benson! a/k/a 3.5ypc benson. depending on how preseason shapes up, why not take a final-round flier on a dude who could end up being cinci’s answer to chris johnson (ok, a stretch, but you get the point).

another is rashad jennings - rookie rb for jags. everyone is talking about greg jones being the other rb option / mojo handcuff, but something tells me jax won’t entirely abandon the RBC model. and now that taylor is gone, i think they’d look to a real rb rather than a fb type to share mojo’s workload. just a hunch, but bears watching during preseason.
