    The following running backs were already taken:

    Johnson, Larry
    Alexander
    Tomlinson
    James
    Barber
    Jackson, Steven
    Johnson, Rudi
    Brown, Ronnie
    Jordan, Lamont
    Williams, Cadillac
    Westbrook, Brian
    McGahee, Willis
    Bush, Reggie
    Jones, Julius
    Portis, Clinton
    Dillon, Corey

    So for me, it came down to four players: Dunn, Kevin Jones, Willie Parker, and Jamal Lewis. I'm not 100% sold on either Parker or Jones yet. Lewis, I was questioning his health. Checking back on Dunn, I noticed that he'd averaged over 1,400 total yards for four years straight. At that point, it became a no-brainer. So Dunn ended up being the pick, the 17th running back taken in the draft.

    I like it! The only pick I question Is Darrell Jackson at 4....but its not like you don't have other guys who can def'n step it up if he gets hurt.

    I'm high on Warrick Dunn as well. He always got the yards but now he has a chance to score more then 10 tds....he'll be awesome and you wouldn't have found him waiting in round 3. I like what you've done with this team.

    Nice team. Fitzgerald, Delhomme, Lewis and Bennett all look like solid picks. Good luck

    decent team...dunn should be good enough to not make you regret that decision, but would have been tough choosing over DROUGHNS and parker there
    a couple of vets in there that could go either way: horn, lewis, muhammed...(i think horn would be the only one that might actually do well, unless griese gets to play in chi)
    not too impressed with the overall draft, but you definently have some good starters

    That's a very good team. :up:

    I like Warrick Dunn as well. If he's healthy, he does nothing but make plays.

    Your WRs are good, but I'm sure Drew Bennett will move up on your depth chart at some time.

    I've already put in a waiver claim for Jerious Norwood, just in case something happens to Dunn. I'd like to get Michael Turner too as Tomlinson insurance.

    Good move. If you have Tomlinson, than you need Turner and likewise with Warrick Dunn.

    Now you're set..

    I definatly wouldve taken Parker. I know Duckett is out in Atl so Dunn should get more TD's, but he still is small and they are really high on Norwood down there, so I think he may get the goalline calls. I know Pitt has Duce Staley, but I still wouldve gone with Parker.


    Not much reasoning, i know, but just my gut feeling.
