The Content Panel had Steve Smith going 24th. With his two game suspension, what do you think his ADP will be now? Also, what are your thoughts on the ADP of Brandon Marshall, who the Content Panel had at #34 but now has a 2-3 game suspension?

So he went from being a late second/early third to probably late third/early fourth now. I'm waiting on Marshall to see if the 3-game suspension will be official. If it is, he'll fall as well, probably at least a round based on where I currently have him ranked (I have him at WR13 projecting a two-game suspension).

Is it time for belidick to zig when everyone expects him to keep zagging?

There's no denying that when maroney got the rock the end of last year, he was a beast.

But Faulk and Morris both proved last season they can fare well in their roles - I think Faulk is a very underrated part of that offense. And Jordan has proven he can play well as both a starter and backup. Combine that with the Patriots showing no hesitancy to use all of their RBs and not lean heavily on Maroney and I don't think it adds up to him equaling his current ADP.

Would u rather own him in a DC or a straight draft?

Also, call it the "baseball moto" that says to draft talent (maroney) and pass on non-talent (e.graham) that may currently have a better job. U disagree with this, correct?
