    Like he said...players picked in the first three rounds can't be kept. All of those guys are top 3 round fantasy players, and obviously all picked in those rounds, hence them being available this year.

    Good call...but remember LT won't have Turner to back him up this year. It could mean LT gets burnt out before the end of the season. Or it could mean even more ridiculous stats than ever.

    Hate to say it but Brady cuz he still has Moss and Welker. Welker would be the 1st WR I'd take as well.

    Who the hell are you? Kellen Winslow?

    It's a game. Not a war.

    If you're telling me the Patriots did the right thing by cheating, then you're a fucking clown, man.

    I did play football in high school, and there was the occasional scuffle in the pile (eye poking, and muscle pinching) ...but you never, ever want to see a player get hurt, no matter what team he's on.

    Whatever it takes, huh? You'd like NFL players to legally take steroids? You'd like guards to purposely take out a defensive players' knees after the whistle has blown? Give me a break dude. Go play NFL Blitz.

    I like to see top, fair competition in this league from everyone.

    You'd take Welker over Moss, Wayne, Fitzgerald, Edwards, and TO? I wish I had someone like you in my league.

    Might not be logical but IMO he will have the best weekly avg this year, I 'd even bet u on that...unless he gets dinged up. Someone in just about every league will jump and take Moss in the first round while I'll be taking the best RB, TO = TOO OLD, Edwards, Fitz, and Wayne are injury due. Welker would be a steal.

    Reggie Wayne never gets hurt.
    I agree Welker will be a top 5 WR this year but come on, first one taken? BS

    There is no such thing as "he's due for an injury". Player who get hurt tend to get hurt again. Players who don't tend not to. The rest is just superstition.

    As for Welker...GTFOOH with that top 5 bullshit. He disappeared in plenty of games last year...and that was the golden season. Now that the rest of the league has the Giants' blueprint (no pun intended) for taking that O down a notch, he will not have nearly as good a year as he did last year.

    how can he loose a 3rd then, that would mean, he would have picked AD in the 1st and keeps him...

    I think he meant 2 rounds higher...a.k.a. he picked him in the 5th round. He meant lower number (3 is lower than 5), not lower round. I know it's confusing the way he said it, but it's the only thing that makes sense.

    I choose AP, but it could easily be LT. I choose AP because LT suffered his first injury in his career and i don't know how he will deal with it. When Shawn Alexander got injured, he played scared. I'm sure LT will be fine, but that injury bugs me. AP has been injured and you know how he will play after suffering an injury.
