Some more random thoughts...

Dez and Demaryius are both squawking about their contracts......Buyer beware!

I could definitely envision taking either Luck or Rodgers # 1 overall. But nobody seems to be doing that.

Another guy I would be cautious on is Marshawn Lynch. He's going to the HOF, but I'm not sure he has a 4th straight 'great season' in the cards.

This is the most wide open draft I can ever remember -- almost no sure things are on this board!!!

I just hope it's clear what Dez and Demaryius are doing by draft time. I hate those Josh Gordon - 2014, Vincent Jackson - 2010 type situations where nobody has any idea what's going on at draft time. I certainly expect that they will have situations resolved by then.

Interesting point about Luck or Rodgers. While I'm not a QB guy, people everywhere had Rodgers as a top 3 pick in 2012 after his big 2011 season. This year he's coming off a not quite as big of a 2014 but he has more talent around him than ever in my opinion. I'm not sure if his projected 2015 is really that much different than his projected 2012 but now he's seen as a borderline 2nd/3rd round player. But as long as people can get him in the 2nd, there's no need to take him in the first.

But it IS necessary to take these QB's in round one, let's say for example you are picking at 2.11 and the guys at 2.9 and 2.10 take Luck & Rodgers back to back. I am never a proponent of ADP --- take the best player on the board at any time regardless of what everyone else does. But -- considering my results in the past 2 years of NFFC, you may want to disregard my advice. LOL

Julius Thomas just went in a current Slow Draft at 3.10, that's 20 picks before his previous earliest choice. I got him at 9.09 in my previous draft, which was the latest he has gone so far (71 pick difference).
