I can’t believe the guys selected in front of Matt. If I knew Matt was going to be there in Round 6, I would have gone running back or receiver in Round 4, and let Tom Brady go somewhere else. In fact, Matt was the first of many good QBs that left in Round 6. But, he’s the best one out there.

Jason Campbell is a winner. He’s got a nice touch, he’s smart, he wins ball games, and the rest of the team believes in him. It will be interesting to see if he builds on last seasons starting success, or if he struggles a little now that he knows he’s got it. I like him a lot, though, and think this was a great pick.

D-Jack, the guy I wanted to get, was thieved just prior to my selection. Even in San Francisco, Jackson will be a fantasy force. He’s fast, runs good routes, and has learned to catch the ball over the last few years. I can’t believe the receivers picked ahead of Jack.

I was bummed I didn’t get Jackson, but am stunned to pick up Moss in the 6th round as well. Its amazing how, in a keeper league, I still got Moss in the 6th round. Sure, he’s been hurt, and he’s small, but with Campbell coming into his own this season, I have a feeling we’ll get to see Moss at his best. Jason can wing it, and Moss can run with anyone.

I think Big Ben will step up after last seasons’ poor play and become the guy everyone thought he’d be last year. He’s a great pick here, especially when you consider that he’s better than a bunch of signal callers who were selected before him. Take advantage of guys who aren’t the “sexy” pick, and your draft will be solid.

Droughns had a couple good seasons in his career, but barring injury, I don’t think he’ll ever have another. Jacobs is a touchdown beast, plus he’s going to get the bulk of the carries in New York. At best, Reuben is a viable back-up or handicap.

Will this be the year Matt Jones finally steps out of his “prospect” label and has a solid season? I think so. I think Jones is the best receiving threat in Jacksonville. I also think the receivers in Jax are pretty good. They’ll benefit from a new offense this season, and probably hit the playoffs fairly easily. Jones is a nice Dynasty pick.

I thought I could get Ronald Curry a round later, but apparently I was wrong. And for good reason, as Curry will be the #1 in Oakland, for an offense that will be throwing the rock plenty. JaMarcus Russell and Curry will form quite the bond, and if Ronald can stay healthy (always a big if with RC) then this pick will turnout to be amazing.

Hines Ward was a great pick here. Honestly, I couldn’t decide who to take, Moss or Ward, but went with Moss because of his youthful exuberance. Ward had a down year last season, but he’s too good to stay down, especially if Big Ben comes back and plays like I know he can. Good selection.

I never like taking a defense before the 10th round, but apparently these Bears are pretty good. With Devin Hester returning kicks and punts, surely the Bears are a dangerous squad in any defensive scoring format, but I don’t know how good of a pick this is. The Ravens are very good, and there are many other Ds that look like good picks, and they’ll go much later. Too early for a defense, even the Bears.

Algae Crumpler is always a good pick. He’s not too old, though he seems ancient. I don’t think his numbers will be hurt if Vick goes down, though Mike loves to feed Crump the ball. Crumpler is a touchdown machine.

It will be interesting to see if Kevin Curtis’s game can translate to a team without Tory Holt and Isaac Bruce. I’ve always liked Curtis’s ability to go up and make a play, despite his limited size. If McNabb comes back in full health, Cutis could be a hell of a pick up.

Brandon Marshall is risky, but seems to be a sexy pick of late. Me personally; I think Rod Smith will come back this season and have a good year, making Marshal and #3 in Denver. But, he’s really fast, and seems to have the speed to team with Javon Walker in the future.

I think DJ Hackett was the most talented receiver in Seattle last season. I think Seattle looked back at the film and saw the same thing. Many people are giving Branch the #1 duties this year, but don’t be surprised if D-Hack takes D-Jack’s spot.

Terry Glenn is old, but remains productive. I wouldn’t want him on my dynasty team, but you can’t argue with him as a solid and safe pick. He’ll get less chances now that Phillips is ready to give Owens the ball a lot, but he’ll still be a viable option from week to week.

Chris Cooley is a great tight end. He’s always a good touchdown guy, and played much better under Campbell. I expect him to have a better season than Vernon Davis, Jeremy Shockey, and probably even Algae Crumpler. He’s the only big-man threat in the red zone for the Redskins.
