Taylor's value now?

[Piranha]

Where does Fred Taylor sit now that Henry is going to Tennessee?

Do you bump him up on your cheat sheets?

Or is he still too much of a risk even though he says he'll be ready to go?

[Sam]

I'm leaving him where he's at untill I see how he does in training camp and pre-season.

[Clubfoothead]

Where it usually is for me. Hoping I'm not in a position to consider him.

I think that his going to TN - Jax letting him go, does say something. While not very confident, I am more confident in his health.

I'm more interested in knowing if Pearman should be considered as a late round pick.

I read somewhere Jax actually wanted Henry and offered the Bills a 2nd round pick. I'll look for the article and post a link when I find it.

I'm not sure he's big enough, unless he has bulked up. He will probably be a great 3rd down back with his hands if he can beat out G. Jones and Toefield on the depth chart.

Maybe Jax is waiting for Alexander to become available...

Better Question is what do the Titans feel about Brown. Henry could have some impact, especially if Brown goes down again. He should (if healthy himself) do a better job than A.Smith did.

No doubt. I think Henry is a better back than Brown.

Henry definitely moved up a few rounds on my cheatsheet. The potential for him to come out of camp #1 or even steal some TDs is high. Plus you know he will play hurt if it comes to that.

Whaddya mean "become" available?? He's been available for months, but nobody wants to part with the $$ he'll require.

Taylor is not on my charts except as a later round flyer. I hate wasting draft picks on guys that won't play, and each year it happens to me in at least one league.

 

He had 2 tendons repared. I doubt he will be effective in '05

Fred Taylor is one of the most talented rb's in the league when he is healthy...

I think the odds of him coming out of camp as #1 are very low.

 

Henry has never been a spectacular game-breaking back... he's just a workhorse. He's not going to unseat Chris Brown, who has been spectacular when healthy.

 

I think they got themselves a solid workhorse backup, and an injury replacement.

[tomfin2000]

For whatever it's worth, I'm a Jax homer and I read that Toefield impressed the coaches while running plays as the No. 1 back in mini-camp.

 

(Yeah, I know...if you had a dime for every time a player impressed the coaches in mini-camp...)

 

Still though, I think Toefield may not be a bad option if Taylor can't go. The last I heard, the Jags were moving Greg Jones to fullback, so unless they sign another veteran, Toefield may be the man.

 

Now you're probably thinking "If Toefield is so great, then why did they pursue Henry?!?"

 

Because it's Henry. The guy's a pro bowl calibre RB, and no one can question his toughness. If you don't have an established starter (or an established starter that can stay healthy) you're always going to try to sign a guy like that, no matter how promising the talent may be on the bench.
