And with the 1st pick of the 2007 rookie draft, Paytons Pride takes

[Deacon Blues]

From the Univ of Oklahoma RB
Adrian Peterson

Analysis: With this pick going to Paytons Pride, it means he comes in behind L Tomlinsen, W Parker, and battles for the #3 Rb slot with Michael Turner (when he gets traded to another NFL team by the Chargers). Behind him are RB C Taylor of Minn, RB A Thomas of Buff, and K Jones of Det.) :D

Seems like you might be a little stacked on RB man :) Guess if someone goes down you have a good rotation.

I'll be taking Calvin Johnson, WR from Georgia Tech. I need WR help bad, but I could let him go for the right price. It would be exorbatant though so let the offers roll in.

OK, it seems you have RB taken care of unless the fragile Peterson can't handle the pounding of a NFL season and Willie Parker was just a one year flash. I just hope you can work those salaries with out losing quality at other positions. I look forward to seeing you in the playoffs. Good luck everyone.

Dont forget RB M Turner who will soon be a Tenn Titan. An agreement has been arrived at and the trade will happen whether its a swap of 1st rd picks between SD and Tenn or a 2nd and 3rd pick this yr or a first rd pick in 08 going to SD. Then there is Chester Taylor of Minn that if the Vikings trade down or pass on Petserson will allow C Taylor to continue to be a productive back, even with fewer carries this year. And as far as salaries, Turner is costing me $568k, Parker is a very cheap 1m and not a one yr wonder (in 2005 he had 1500 total yds to what he didi last yr), Taylor is a value at 1.8m, A Thomas is .495k. Kevin Jones is costing 2m as he rehabs, and Tomlinsen is easily worth 5m. The reason i can pay more for
M Bulger, Houshmandzadeh, D Bennett, Merriman, T Cole, EJ Henderson, L Fletcher, C Draft, and Winfield is i pay between .350k and .750k for 33 players of my 61 man roster. I basically have only 1 draft pick to pay 3m too this yr and not 10m for 7 slots in this yrs rookie draft.

Many on this roster have value salaries and is relativiley a young squad. I dont spend $$$ on DB's and OL. Guys like QB Romo, Kitna, LB S Phillips, G Hayes, WR Evans, and both OL and DB's are below market prices. Other than Fletcher, L Little, Kitna, DB Winfield, and A Harris, ages are between 23 - 29.

I could make it simple and without risk and take rookie Wr C Johnson,
now a member of the Det Lions as they will select him with the #2 pick
and most likely keep him unless TB gives away their draft for him tomorrow. But RB A Peterson will either be one of the best or miss time to injuries, which he will play with if he can.
