Has anyone noticed?

I'm aware there's only two weeks gone in the season, but an interesting trend has emerged from the rubble. Of the top 20 overall scoring leaders, 15 of them drafted from the 10 slot or lower. It's more than likely attributed to the WR scoring frenzy, but the 3RR doesn't look like such a good idea right now, especially when LT is hanging single-digit numbers on the board, and Steven Jackson is looking like Earnest Jackson. I'm still a proponent of 3RR, but c'mon Norv...just give him the damn ball.

My preference (after 1 and 2) was 13 all around. I guess I got "lucky" with the 1. :rolleyes:

It's kinda early and things could change, but maybe the better alternative would be 3rd AND 5th Round Reversal.

YEAH WE SHALL SEE HOW EVERYTHING SHAKES OUT. ONCE L.T AND S. JAX START GETTING SOME STATS THINGS WILL CHANGE.

Funny thing is that if you had LT last year and missed the playoffs, you were either unlucky or a moron...or both.

Not the balance 3RR was striving for, but merely 2 weeks of data is nothing to base opinion on.

(But...if it WAS balanced...I'm sure we'd have seen it posted a few times!

Most, I suspect, anticipated Chad Johnson and Steve Smith to have 2 or 3 weeks with 30+ points; coincidentily, one of them occurred in week 2 for both players. At the same time, LT was facing 2 of the best defenses in the NFL and S Jackson was.... actually I don't have a clue what Jackson's problem is.

Too many O-line injuries for the Rams to overcome right now and maybe for the season without Pace. But then again, when has there ever been a season when one of the top 3 picks tanks the season due to injuries to himself or other key offensive players on his team? :rolleyes:
