I thought these two RBs had interesting results:

Joseph Addai: 63, 58, 38
Larry Johnson: 62, 65, 69 ...Addai is an absolute STEAL there but LJ on the other hand, well, let's just say that SNAKE would not wish him on his worst enemies team (guess who?) this year...SNAKE [/QUOTE]Addai is going to have to learn to "share" with Donald Brown. In fact, by mid-season Addai might be carrying Brown's luggage.
If LJ has "his head screwed on straight" he could have a very nice rebound year, making him a great value at those draft spots.

Witten is getting a "lot of love"...26,31,31. You have to pass on a very quality player to take him that early.

THE FUNNY THING TO ME IS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE SAYING L.T. WOULD DROP OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN ANY FUTURE DRAFT.

The main thing is he has no competition for carries other than Charles (who I like but more as a Kevin Faulk-type receiving RB). Addai has a first-round pick who is guaranteed to get on the field a lot unless he's a total flop. Plus, Addai's production dating back to the second half of 2007 has been putrid which strongly indicates a lack of ability on his part (likely a reason why the Colts took Brown in the first round).

I still think Addai is going too high given the massive potential I believe he has for failure. If I had to gamble on a RB in that range, I'd feel more comfortable gambling on LJ.

Glenn, come on man! I'm counting on the Addai bashing to get him to the 6th round for me. He's already made it to the 5th in a DC.

Mum's the word.

I'll chime in here and post my results from one of these $50 Slow Drafts...

I went what I call the BONSAI route, by not drafting a RB until round 5, and then 7...

Here's my team so far...

Larry Fitzgerald
Brandon Marshall
T.J. Houshmanzadeh
Tony Gonzalez
Lendale White
Donnie Avery
Jamal Lewis
