Culpepper

[STEELtownUSA]

I apologize if this has been posted already but the search never works for me on this site. Anyway, how much do you think the loss of Moss will affect Culpepper. I would think he would drop down to the number 6 or 7 QB, but I really don't know.

Until he proves otherwise, he remains top 3.

Maybe you put McNabb over him (if Owens shows to play). But Culpepper should not go lower than 3.

[Emmitt]

I don't see him lower than 3.

Let's think about this....

Manning
McNabb

Then who?

Bulger?
Trent Green?
HasselbecK?
Vick?
Collins?
Favre?

I'd take Culpepper above any of these. Now, does that mean you take him in the 1st round? No, IMO. 2nd round if 6pts per passing TD, maybe late 2nd round if 4.

He'll be the #3 QB I think. The only reason I don't like taking him now, is that he's going on average 1 full round before McNabb. I'd rather get a top 3 QB with the 30th pick, instead of the 18th.

I think he fall a little, but I would keep him right around 5.

[Dirt Bag]

IMO he wont go down less then 4 i see him as #3 right now if Owens plays otherwise maybe he could be #2

4th - 6th best QB sounds about right. I think people are underestimating the loss of Moss.

I think its hard to tell where he will finish this year, way too many factors are different. He is generally going as the #2 QB, and usually in about the 2nd round or so. Way overvalued IMO, and I wont touch him for anything near that price

I agree with Cornbread.
Minnesota, in general, is a mess. From personell to ownership.
Despite his size and talent ...
4th-6th sounds about right to me.

I'm also in the boat that says Moss' loss is going to hurt Culpepper's value. He didn't exactly light it up when Moss was injured, throwing 1, 1, 1, 4 and 2 touchdowns in the five weeks when Moss was out. The week he threw four he was playing the horrid Green Bay defense, so you have to think Moss' absence is going to have an impact on Daunte's numbers. No, he won't drop off the map, but I think he will likely finish just outside of the top 3 or 4.
