Preseason Poll

unnamed leage member reading the poll hot of the press


a few things....remember 4 teams make the playoffs, 1st record then top 3 total points....everyone gets 6 transactions this year, trades/adds count as one, trade deadline is week 4......schedule was e-mailed out tonight....remember in order for a WR to gain RB status he must have 12 or more rushing attempts in a game to get it, he doesnt get 12 the next week he then loses his RB status. Also if it is announced a player is switching positions that would be another way. Basically we will monitor the few situations that arise and do our best to make the right call on these......Start putting in lineups right now if you want.....to the final ballot and numerous comments from the ballot's

Random comments from ballots....

Chris
Vereen 7th pick was huge, and A Bradford should be pretty good as well, so in a damp RB year he got 2 good ones. Posey along with other wide outs will be good and got Brantley in a good spot. Best Pick..V Smith Michigan....if he comes back from knee issues in strong fashion. Final take...Vereen could be the best back in fantasy, has a good team to surround him with.

Bomar - Murray could be a stud, but the guy gets hurt EVERY YEAR! Jerrell Jackson is already hurt. Wingo is in a committee and no one really knows how much Baxter will see the field (although I wanted him too). Took Tai-ler Jones WAY too early. Could get some nice production out of his mid-round receivers (Cooper, R Smith). I like Ponder, but he plays a lot of good defenses in the ACC. Needs Baxter to break out as a Reggie Bush clone to compete. Best pick: James Rodgers. Worst: Tailer Jones

Frederick - Like his top 2 RBs, but his WR's are scum. Landry Jones will put up good #s and his pick of Adam Robinson looks really good now. Should get around 300 yards from his 5th round pick. Best pick: A Robinson Worst: D Robinson

Ingram will be a shark and Allen should have some wide running lanes in ND's offense, as long as he gets the majority of carries. Pryor's gonna destroy all the farm boys in the Big Ten. RoJo should be solid and I think Kirkendahl could end up being the #1 WR for Texas. Best pick: Pryor Worst: Barner

Josh--Clay is great...rest of Rb squad sucks balls....Mallet is solid. Best Pick is Clay 3rd overall. Final grade...wrs need some big time help, rbs after clay blow....poor team overall

Kobza - Ingram Heisman, Pryor....Heisman = # 1 if it holds up....
ROJO and Kirkendoll will be USC AND TEXAS' leading REC

Chris-RBS GREAT.... Posey will be Pryors top man.... Brantley will be fine Hated: Fannin at 3, over rated LOVE: TJ MOE at 15 and I didnt pick him soon enough

Troy - Kendall Hunter = a Beast, Jermaine Thomas at 2.....will hurt esp if he doesnt startHated: Jermaine Thomas @ 2!!...Hasnt lived up to Hyped so far... why now?
LOVE: Josh Nesbitt, RUN RUN RUN

Fredrick: like his early round picks but D.Robinson in the 5th round is maybe the worst pick this league has ever seen. Husker Homer Frederick.

Tick
This team may get some very mixed reviews but all in all has a lot of upside. M Ford in the 3rd is a good gamble and has other young studs at RB. C King along with Ealey of Geo has a chance to be pretty good, if he can stay on the field. Best Pick is Chris Rainey of flor in the 9th! Final Take...Fields of opportunity with this team, one to watch thats for sure.

Tyson - Jerrod Johnson, Derrick washington Solid but 13 out of 20 picks BIG 12 PLAYERS???!!!???!! Hated: Malcolm Williams @ 4..I think Kirkendoll will be the man in TEXAS
LOVE: Jerrod Johnson = Hes fun to Watch

Craig
In terms of finding 3 solid backs in this draft I feel he did in a big way. He wets his pants with Ealey with good reason behind a very good line. WR's are pretty solid, and has 2 QBs's that have a lot of upside. Uzoma N of Tex AM was his best pick! Final Take...could be undervalueing this team a bit, we'll wait and see.

Tick-He has a couple good wr's in Broyles & Adams and I think Barkley is just average as far as fantasy qb's are concerned. His team's stock could rise if he can find a diamond in the rough with one or two of those rb's he drafted

Berringer-He got the best rb in the draft, but his depth at that position concerns me. His qb is untested and could be the steal of the draft or a bust and I feel the same way about his wr's also.

Bomar
I like the rolling of the dice mentality of Bomar this year. Demarco if Demarco will be a stud, Missouri's WR corps is a huge mystery but if his gut was right J Jackson will be worth the value in the 3rd round. Tai ler Jones of Notre Dame may have been a stretch in the 6th but you never know, the Irish need some more play makers to replace Tate. Best
Pick...D Thomas of Oregon assuming he starts! Final take...instead of reaching on mid level Rb's in early rounds like others did he took talented wide outs...for that he will be rewarded.
