Tom,

When do we find out our draft position???

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Aug 18, 2004 9:41 am

We'll put the leagues and draft orders together on Aug. 30. We hope to make an announcement that day, but it will be no later than Tuesday morning Aug. 31.

The thing about Griffin.... his workload will be limited, even as a #1. Probably 15 touches a game and the rest to Hearst and Anderson. His 5'7" frame is not built for 20 or 25 touches a agme. So he'll be fine, but not as the 15th player chosen.

Plus, if Tatum Bell shows well, he CAN go the whole game and might take over as #1 by mid-season. So way too much risk for round 2.

Since when has Mike Shanahan ever done RBBC? If he does this season it will be a first and that's what the gamble is taking him 15 vs. 50. I'd rather take him at 15 than Westbrook. You know he's in RBBC.

It is amazing to me what 2 more teams in a league will do to ya....greg's team looks solid....add 2 more teams in the league and everyone's team becomes watered down.

By the way, I think Delhomme is WAY undervalued this year. He's going right where I got him in most of the mocks I've seen and I have him ranked among the Top 15 QBs. I like him a lot this season and I hope he keeps hiding under the radar so I can grab him as my No. 2 QB in my main league's draft.

Delhomme will be even better if Foster gets more touches because he is more of a weapon out of the backfield than Davis. Add Keary Colbert to the mix and he may have two more weapons this year than he had last year.

I mean think if you are drafting #12. Instead of getting the next pick, you have to wait 4 MORE. So essentially before your 4th round selection, there are a total of 8 players selected.

The difference between 12 and 14 teams is a lot. Add in that we start 2 RB, 3 WR AND a "flex" and it is colossal!

His best RB (Griffin as of now) cannot be a Holmes/LT kind of back. Just not physically suited. Bell could be that guy but he's not ready yet. So Denver will have to adapt.

But, as you say, if the coach MUCH prefers a single feature back, then you must be afraid of Bell by mid-season.

Put it all together, you get ADP 50, not 15.
