Analysis
17.01 DT Chargers
By Greg Kellogg


17.02 WR Mark Clayton (R)
By Houston | Pitzer

17.03 PK John Carney
By Jim Butler


This selection was for a kicker who is on a very sporadic team. Last seasons his point ranges in games was anywhere from 1 to 20 points. I am counting on Shayne Graham to be the steady point producer at kicker with Carney chipping in with his few big games of the season he tends to have.


17.04 PK Chris Brown
By Brady Tinker


Chris Brown can kick and I believe his progress is right on par with the rest of his Texans teammates.  I think this is the break out year for the Texans offense and Brown will follow.  A nice back-up kicker.

17.05 DT Jets
By Tony Holm 

I really like the Jets D this year over more than a lot of the D’s taken already. They are tough up the middle, have a multitude of pass rushers, are aggressive and are a D on their way up.

On the line, Shaun Ellis with 11 sacks on the left side coupled with John Abraham with 9.5 from the right is a deadly duo. Lance Legree came over from the Giants and he can play either DT or DE which really opens up what the Jets can do up front. At LB there is defensive rookie of the year, Jon Vilma in the middle with 107 tackles in 2004! If that wasn’t enough, ROLB Eric Barton laid down 107 tackles of his own!

In the secondary the Jets have the aggressive Donnie Abraham at Left Corner (ex Buccaneer) and veteran Reggie Tongue at Strong Safety but the up and comer, Eric Coleman at Free Safety, a second year guys drafted by the Jets, managed 100 tackles of his own.

I like the balance of very talented youth and solid veterans on this unit and my belief is that they will raise their game yet another notch this year as more of their already proven upper echelon youth mature into defensive superstars.

As they’ve already been drafted, look for the Chargers to take another step forward with their talented youth this season if you’re looking for another solid sleeper play.


17.06 WR Jurevicius
By Jerome Hickerson




This was one of those FAD “defensive” selections, intended to protect myself from the potential disastrous injury that can destroy a FAD season. 

I believe that Jurevicius will be healthy this season (barring a new injury) and that he will win the #2 role for the Seahawks. If Jackson goes down with injury for any length of time, I fully anticipate that Jurevicius will step up and perform well. I am expecting a good season for Jurevicius and would likely have drafted him here even if I were not covering my earlier selection of Jackson .

17.07 PK Lawrence Tynes
By Del Pilar | Bonini

Who We Took and Why:
We drafted Tynes here because he was the most appealing place kicker remaining on the board. He was up-and-down last season, but showed flashes of promise. In Kansas City’s high-scoring offense, we should be guaranteed at least minimal production each week.     

Other Candidates Considered:
New York Jets rookie PK Mike Nugent, who was selected a few picks later, was on our radar. We felt Tynes was the safer option, but Nugent’s booming leg did make us think twice before drafting the Chiefs kicker.    

Current Strategy:
Now that we have secured our place kicker needs, our strategy will turn to drafting an upside defensive team to be our No. 2 unit with our final selection.    

17.08 RB Chuck Fason (R)
By Tim Hollar


As some of you may or may not know, my brother John Holler covers the Vikings for "Viking Update".   Well, he happened to call on Tuesday and, as usual, we talked football among other things.   I had seen a tidbit quoting him earlier in the week in the FF Mastermind Quick Bits about Vikings RB Ciatrick Fason, so I asked him about it.

He said that Vikes HC Mike Tice loves Fason and that he, not Mewelde Moore, will ultimately be the primary reserve to Michael Bennett.   He went on to say that the coaching staff views Moore as a 3rd down back, while Fason is cut from the Moe Williams cloth.  As in better suited to being an every down back.

Trusting that Michael Bennett will get hurt as he has been want to do, I took the juice from my brother, made the trade and selected the rookie from Florida.   Secondary reasons for taking Fason included wanting a Viking on my team and the thought that since I love the composition of every other position on my team - and hope to win the FAD - I might as well swing for the fence with this last RB rather than taking the
conservative route with Anthony Thomas.


17.09 PK Billy Cundiff
by Shannon O'Leary

 

In this draft I find myself selecting my 3rd kicker of the draft. The recent trade of Matt Stover necessitates this act.  The Dallas kicker was not all that stellar last year, but then again neither was the Cowboys themselves. I can’t conceive that Parcells will allow that to happen two years in row.

 

Since the Cowboys offense should improve this year, I see Cundiff’s numbers improving too. If you look at the winning team in the FAD last year, they only got points out of the 2nd kicker 3 times so a back up kicker may not get that much work. In Cundiff I am looking for a few big weeks but will be counting more on Longwell.


17.10 PK Mike Nugent (R)
By Dolfi | Walls


Walls’ Take -  Rookie!! Yeah!! Kicker!!! Woo-hoo!!! – OK, so we take a rookie kicker. Take it from a Penn State grad, it breaks my heart to take a Buckeye fresh from Columbus, but hey – better him than Clarett, right? 

With this pick, we decide that we can live with one defense, but know that at least two kickers are a must. We have a very good defense, and a good kicker. But, kickers can get hurt, entire defenses don’t (if the entire Eagles defense gets hurt, we won’t be in this league – we’ll both be dead). Anyway – in a league where your best players start each week, this was the right pick.

Nugent will be the kicker all year for the Jets. I think the Jets will have a good defense next year; and with Herm Edwards as coach, make smart decisions in the red zone. The Jets are a quirky offensive team. They can surprise you. I believe , however, that the Jets are not good enough to score a bunch of TDs and will settle for 3 points quite often…which is good for Mike Nugent, and us. Take a chance on Nugent later in your draft, he will do very well for you.


17.11 DT Saints
By Duane Cahill


17.12 PK Todd Peterson
By TC Cannon


Peterson was the selection for PK2 because I really prefer having at least two legs from winning teams on the roster. I'm not a Falcon fan, and would not be surprised if they were a non-playoff team. Yet.. many others see them as high scoring contenders. We will see. 

As for Todd Peterson, he seems an average PK, who will have the opportunity to have a few 4 FG games. It's a roll of the dice. Yes sir.
