A very slow 2009 draft

What do you guys think of taking Jacobs there over Barber? I knew conventional wisdom said to take him, and I almost did, but he has yet to prove that he can handle the full load over a full season, and with Choice performing well towards the end of '08, I could see a time share emerging just to keep Marion fresh. I don't know if I buy too much into the TO won't be a Cowboy talk, but if that WERE to happen, things would get tough for the Dallas backs as opposing D's stack the box.

Not that those factors would knock Barber further down the rankings, but they were just enough to nudge Jacobs in front of him. Without Plaxico, Jacobs has that concern already. Not a bad pick, but I had Jacobs lower. I like Lynch better as well. But that's just me. Turner at 1.10 is great value. So both are soild picks.

Were is Jeff? I knew who he wants here, but if he has a change of mind, I wouldn't want to be the guy that killed this draft.

So we wait.

Sitting and hoping knowing what Route C and BWaz would do..and they did..I'm sticking to my theory and taking the best available athlete.What I am hoping is that he gets his ring on Sunday and then moves on to $$$ pasture..Hopefully a GIANT.Therefore I select Anquan Boldin....

NICE PICK JEFF!! I LIKE IT.

WELL AT SOME POINT SOMEONE HAS TO DO THIS. I'LL SELECT LADANIAN TOMLINSON.

IT IS A HIGH RISK PICK BUT HAVING THE TOP 2 PICKS FROM 2008 IS NOT A BAD START IF THEY CAN RESURECT IN 2009.

WISH ME LUCK GUYS!!!

Boldin is a great pick, but his future (Warner, being in Arizona) is a bit uncertain and that was just enough to not take him for me.

As for your pick Kotrax, I almost took him, but wanted a WR. I don't believe he is done quite yet, and if he fell in a standard draft, I don't think I could pass on him again.

Two great picks!

Damn this thing is moving fast!!!

I WANTED A WR AS WELL BILLY AND AT THIS POINT WITH THE ELITE ONES GONE I WAS ONLY ONE I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED.

EVEN IF L.T. HAS A SEASON LIKE LAST YEAR (HOPEFULLY IT WLL BE BETTER)I WOULD BE SATISFIED WITH THAT CONSIDERING GETTING HIM LATE SECOND ROUND.

HE STILL FINIHED 7TH OVERALL IN RB SCORING IN THE NFFC WHICH ISN'T TOO BAD.
