Thomas Jones sucks; A-Train doesn't suck quite as much. Of course, neither suck as much as the suckiest suck to ever suck at football, Trotter.

I know where Winslow went cuz I picked him  ;D thus my comment on him.  I was just surprized to come back and still see some of the top TEs still on the board...

As far as T. Jones and the A-train in Chi-town are concerned - I would stay away from both of them unless there are no RBs left.  Both are most likely going to be splittting carries and one of them will emerge by mid-season.  It's just a 'pick a hand' type choice and hope you get lucky....

I don't know.  T. Jones avg'd close to five yards a carry at the end of last year, and Chicago didn't give him a bunch of money for nothing.  And they've been trying to get away from A. Train for the last two years.  Worth a gamble.

I would pick T. Jones over A-train, but A-train has had his moments of productivity.

I just hope my TJ Duckett pick doesn't turn into Ron Dayne....which has be baffled as to why he hasn't been picked yet  ;)

I thought about Winslow reasonably high.  The looming holdout scared me off.

It's not like either of us are going to rely on these guys to be starters anyway.

Thomas Jones, like your team, sucks!

This coming from the guy who took Marty Booker in the second round. Puh-lease. :-D

I was already set with T. Holt and C. Chambers so I an afford to take fliers on players I like.

Homo...I do have to agree that that was a little early for Booker, esp. considering that there are tons of questions about the Chicago offense with Rex Grossman at the helm.

im going to be fairly busy , so I cant be on here checking on things as much as necessary today.

Well we're not going to get another pick for 5 hrs since Miss Chugula is now up.  I was just hoping in making my next 2 picks today without having to submit a 'list'.  

While the list worked to my expectations so far, it's getting to a crucial point in the draft since a lot of good players are gone and you have to distinguish between crap, players with potential to perform this year, and solid backups.

Z - I see you took a TE....hehe  ;D

I had Suggs on the list I submitted to Murp on Saturday. I actually typed his name, then changed my mind before typing Marcus Robinson and clicking post.  :-\ >:(

Oh yeah, I was also hoping to land with my last 4 picks either one, or both, of Suggs and Buckhalter. bitches.

I need some feedback on my pick of LJ. I know TE's aren't valued high unless they grab 60+ catches, 800+ yards and at least 6 TDs. I think LJ can be that type of player*.  8)

TEs are almost meaningless unless you have Gonzalez. Most average about 3.5 pts per game and I think you can expect that from Smith.
