New Begining for Fred Taylor?

nice read. he's still a punk.

Hey Moochman, are you saying that if Fred Taylor was available in the 4th round you would pass on him? He'll be gone in the 2nd in every decent draft out there.

Yes, Jed, I most likely will. By the 4th round I hope to have my rb position solidified and will be filling out my wr corps. Taylor could put up good to great numbers if he stays healthy. I am just not so sure that he will. It’s that simple. Yes he may very well be gone in the second round of any decent draft, I just won’t be the one picking him. Remember these are just my opinions and in no way reflect the opinions of many of the intelligent users of this forum.

Fragile Freddy...um pass

I generally am willing to discount supposed 'injury history' and am generally a Freddy fan, mostly since I had him as a rookie. I get attached to my rook's who perform well. If a guy is healthy, he's healthy. If he is coming back from an injury that others have been hindered by, I am wary. Players definitely have different tolerances for pain and the ability to play thru it, and that may affect my player rankings a bit.

That said, I wouldn't take him until the 3rd round. The draft would have to go very wrong for me to take him even at the end of the 2nd round. 4th round? Sure, I probably have 2 RB by then anyway. he is certainly worth the risk for that payoff.

There are guys I stay away from to a point, but if they fall far enough, they usually are worth the gamble.

Completely agree. If he's there in the third round, even if I have two backs already, I'll take him. Once he has a good game, I'll trade him for a top WR. He's too good to pass up that early, in my opinion.
