Not being draftred until the bottom of the 2nd round in somke of the recent online championship drafts...absolute steal or people right to be nervous?

Both?

Only 18 TDs (and 9 games missed) in last 3 years.
Offense not likely to be appreciably better.
RBs overrated in this league anyway.
SJax's receiving value lessened because of league scoring.

Steal at end of 2nd, but far from a sure thing.

I can see him slipping out of the top 10-12, but I have a hard time seeing how he gets past 16 or so in any league, frankly. If you took Austin or White or a QB at the end of Rd. 1 how could you not take SJax on the way back if he was there?

I got him with 19th pick in my on-line champions draft and was thrilled!!! Gore/S jackson was a great 1/2 punch

I have to agree with HS that SJax is a high risk/high return draft pick, but certainly a top 20 pick.

He went ONE pick before you in rd. 2. But at least you got Deangelo there, whom I think you'll like just fine this year. Good luck.

Got him at 2.12 in the online draft sunday. Peterson/SJax is going to be a sweet combo! I realize the rams suck, but not many backs are capable of 300+ carries and 50 receptions. He will also do better than his 4TDs last year.

Im considering myself $50,000 richer.
