BRUISER Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have 4th pick in 12 team non-keeper league. No points for receptions. Extra points for long td's. First 3 will be Manning, Alexander and LT2. I like Edge a lot but think J Lewis will have a monster year. And then there's Holmes who I took at #1 last year. I know in our league Larry Johnson will go earlier than I would want to take a handcuff otherwise I would go Holmes without a doubt. Any comments would help or an argument for someone else...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzkek Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 If The Edge is there at #4 you have to take him. Lewis will probably go to jail again, and Priest is very injury prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 See above, Holmes will be hurt again ( could lock up LJ later) and Lewis is a criminal with no break away speed. Edge is your man. What about Manning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynch Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I think that your choice comes down to Edge and Jamal Lewis. You won't find a bigger Lewis fan on here, but I think that either way you go as long as it is one of these two you have picked well. I don't trust that Holmes will be healthy all year, in fact I just swiped LJ from the priest owner in my keeper league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 EDGE. Lewis is injury prone also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I would go with Edge if it were me. Holmes has had his day in the sun and now is very injury prone as mentioned. Jamal won't go abck to jail and he will have a great year but Edge is the better choice IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLGRAF Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Take Edge. I believe he is only signed to a one-year tender, meaning he will likely be playing for his next contract, assuming the Colts don't sign him long-term between now and the end of the season.

I think Lewis has a very strong year, but considering the way things are today after last year you have to go Edge first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardrocker Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 OK, Until clubfoot head gets here I'll step up for Lewis. You really cant go wrong here. The choices whether they be Edge or Lewis or Holmes, or Dom Davis, Clinton Portis or Deuce, really comes down to personal preference and gut feeling. I have a real good feeling about the Ravens this year. Break away speed? Ok Lewis doesnt have that. He does have the power to run through a brick wall. I have the 4th pick as well. I believe, but do not know that the first three picked in my draft will be LT2, Alexander, Manning/Priest. I plan to take Lewis unless LT or Alexander fall. Its just my .02 cents, but if I cant trade down and get him later with a quicker turnaround pick, that is what I am gonna do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUISER Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Thanks for the feedback. I was leaning toward Edge already so this just makes me feel better. I agree you couldn't go wrong with Edge or Lewis here but I like Edge and the explosive offense a little more. I wish I could trade down a couple spots where I think Lewis would still be available and I would have a higher pick in round 2 but my league doesn't allow trading draft spots.

jimerc21 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I give the edge to Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis will probably go to jail again, and Priest is very injury prone. 911841[/snapback] Lewis went to jail over something that happened when he was 20 years old... I'd imagine that he's probably wised up from his past ways. During the trial and investigation he said and did all the right things. I'll give him the benifit of the doubt. I'll take Lewis, followed by Holmes, then Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
