Interesting..with your choice of the Jets, how would you rate their RB tandem of Jordan/Martin?

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 9:50 am

I think Martin is going to be a nice value pick. I have seen his ADP rising a bit, so it looks like some folks have realized he was a sliding a little too far. He's a lock for 1,000 yards, never gets hurt and ran much better last season after Pennington got hurt. The concern is his lack of TDs. I think he'll score more than he did last season, but I think the ceiling is 5-7. I don't know if the Jets are sold on Jordan. I think he has a chance to be a TD vulture, but I don't see him making a huge dent in Martin's numbers.

and with Seattle, do you think Alexander should get more consideration as the 3rd RB behind Tomilson and Holmes?

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 9:58 am

I think Alexander is definitely worth considerting as high as 3. I do think Ahman Green is the guy there, but I wouldn't criticize someone who took Alexander there. He's durable, he's a TD machine, he contributes as both a runner and receiver and the offense has massive potential. The Seahawks are expecting a monster season from Alexander, so yes I like him a lot.

I wonder what the chances are he falls to me at 11 in my main league.

Thanks Tom, I asked because I am in a local keeper league and pick 3rd. Green is kept, so I find myself debating if Alexander should go before Portis.I like Seattle as a sleeper for the SB, while even with Gibbs back, Portis and Washington could struggle to be even a .500 team.

No love for Portis???

Makes me hope I get the 5th pick and somehow he falls to me.

I love Portis. I have no worries about his new change of scenery whatsoever. The guy is a special special RB and in the NFL talent always wins out. I do worry about his ability to play a full 16 games, however. That's the only concern I have, but it's not an insignificant one.
