One Week Until Draft Day!!!!

Not only that but it appears that the TO situation in Dallas is laying the groundwork for a in season meltdown.

Coach Parcells is getting fed up with the constant TO questions and it is ONLY TRAINING CAMP!!!! There are just so many red flags going up right now in Big D that it has many NFL fans just waiting for the inevitable.

Let me be clear that TO will help the 'Boys for a while. He is a massive target and someone who will draw double coverage which frees up the running game and second and third wide receivers. He is a difference maker but what he is also is a massive distraction from playing and preparing for the actual games.

If you are a FFL guy draft him at your own peril. Draft someone who will play in all 16 games barring injury instead. It is becoming obvious that there is a massive breakdown on the horizon and it will be spectacular and fun to watch! Well unless you are a Dallas fan (sorry to the one's I know) then it will be painful and all of a sudden Julius Jones/Marion Barber won't be very effective at all. Terry Glenn without anyone to draw coverage away from him will be a less than average receiver.

Draft day to me is one of my life's pleasures. Like my coffee card in the Fall and Winter and vanilla candles! FF is that to me.

It is a time to enjoy the company of your leaguemates who are more than happy to kick your team around while smiling about it. It is also time to let your team kick theirs around on the field since you did your homework and know what player to take in the right situation! There are few better feelings in life than to have the team that you built run roughshod over the entire league! When everyone else sees you on their schedule and chalks up a loss before the game even starts!

One week from Draft Day and it is a great time of year as long as you avoid TO!!!!

It appears that the Raiders are going to flounder leaving question marks around drafting Moss or not. Tough call since the Raiders appear to really suck. Lamont Jordan will be a midlevel RB at best behind a below average O Line.

The FFL question of the year is LT, LJ, or Shaun Alexander?

LJ had 20 TDs in 9 starts, will he repeat that in 16? I doubt it. Look for about 15-20 spread out over 16 instead of the run at the record everyone is anticipating.

LT? I imagine that he will be just as strong on an improved team. Once Rivers gets his groove on in the season LT will just get that much stronger.

Shaun? He is the pick of this draft if you should be unfortunate to have the number 1 pick overall. Seattle is still in a weak division and the class of the NFC. Take him and chalk up 20 TDs.

Draft Day is one week away and I wish it was here already!!!!
