You took Manning with the 2nd overall pick? Eh...
I guess Alexander has the bad contract situation and Holmes has age and injury history against him but Edgerrin James is in a contract year and he looked awesome last year.
I would never take a QB that early. RB's win championships.

I took Manning for one reason only... THE #1 scoring leader for this leagues scoring system, by far... Hes better then anybody else out there, period. My three recievers scored a combined 25 td's last season... I expect that number to climb to between 32-35 this season... Thats awesome production for a three receiver set. Then theres the potential of troy williamson... Personally im not buying into the Nate Burleson or M.R. hipe... I believe Troy will be THE target in Minn. As far as my backs go... Julious Jones is a stud in the making... thats easy to see. If Bell doesnt excell, Chris Brown will be fine as a #2 back, especially since Mason is gone, Brown could get more opps for TD's, Tenn could choose to grind it out in the redzone. And then theres Cadillac... this may be the sleeper of my team... 11th round pick...lol Who knows what he could do in Tampa, especially with that defense, he could see major carries as they try to run first and play defense instead of a shoot out type offense. My only dissappointment was not being able to land Carson Palmer... I like the Palmer to Johnson combo... but Jake will be plenty good as a backup to Manning.
