Great job on the ranking BTW.

 

 

Back on topic:

Well, that makes the starting RB position basically a 2 horse race between Young & Torain, with Pittman a drakhorse and Hall a non-contender (please, please, please don't bring in Alexander :prayingsmilie: ).

 

Young has apprently put in significant offseason work and has put on 7 to 8 pounds of muscle, putting him at a playing weight of 212 lbs in an effort to be an every down RB. I still have questions about his abilities between the tackles. Shanahan has alreay stated that he felt Torain was equivalent to first round talent and has compared him to TD. It ought to be an interesting summer now....

Didn't he compare Travis Henry to TD as well too though and just cut him.

I don't take his comparisons too seriously since he compared Griese to Montana. I do take Torain's production and running style when healthy into account.

So you don't think you overpaid in the least for Hall? I assume the league is IDP if it has a 53 man roster...

 

We only have 10 rounds so overpaying for a potential backup is ok with me. And yes it is IDP...and no there is no IDP rookie or vet worthy of my roster at this point. I was on the verge of forfeiting my last 2 picks anyway. I'll spend a pick on a reach.

It might have made just a little difference if you had managed to include that this was a rookie/FA draft and not an initial draft.

 

It's still a wasted pick, but worth a 9th rounder in a 16 team rookie/FA draft.

Thanks. I'm still getting used to this boards posting tendencies, so bear with me.

Did Shanny put out feelers to try to trade Henry to get ANYTHING?

 

I'm glad that the Broncos won't hesistate to cut a player that just won't work, but this signing-bonus-cut-the-next-year routine has to stop, like last years DL that got a big bonus the year before.

 

Also, they really NEED to investigate a guy's background BEFORE signing him. How do you not know he's got too many issues to warrant a bonus?

Partly why they waited until after June 1, so the signing-bonus hit is not all applied to the 2008 salary cap..

Also, they really NEED to investigate a guy's background BEFORE signing him. How do you not know he's got too many issues to warrant a bonus? Tough to really know how much a guy's past is going to affect his NFL future, in some cases. But yeah, in this case... hello red flags! :wacko:

See bold.

Selvin Young, Mike Pittman and that rookie is looking pretty good now. But I declare rotating RB's every year here has to be killer on a Dynasty team that has a RB from Denver.

 

*sniff sniff*

 

I smell 2000 yard season!!!
