Snake,

That is why I said it's just a mock....

The point is that you can still take 2 stud WR's and there is some RB talent left in the 4th -6th rounds.

Well maybe in a couple of odd drafts but not on average unless you're drafting with about 20-30 MB regulars.

RB's are still the popular choice among all players. The typical NFFC draft will have 1 QB in the 1st...1 in the 2nd...1 in the 3rd and 2-3 in the 4th. This is pretty consistant with an average year in the NFFC main event with the exception of 6 QB's gone by the end of the 4th rather than 5.

Riff, with all of the RB injuries last year, increased number of teams employing duel RBs and a year of 3RR experience this years draft will take on a new look.

[/QUOTE]Me too but unfortunately last year Rob and I were in one of those odd drafts. Romo went in the 4th when he was going 7/8 in most drafts.

Greg,

Enjoyed the article. The only issue I would have with it is; I believe T.O. is every bit as important to Romo's success as Moss is to Brady's. If, T.O. pulled another Philly caper, which I don't believe will happen, Romo goes from being a top 2, 3 or 4 QB to somewhere in the 6-10 range. If Brady lost Moss, he goes from #1 to possibly 4 or 5.
But I agree Brady definitely needs Moss to warrant a 1st round selection.
