In our opinion, there is far better value available at RB#4 than at other positions of higher need for us. Taylor has been going in the 6th-7th round in many drafts, usually as about the 30th-35th RB taken; we get him to start the 9th round as the 40th RB off the board. We get a guy with definite contributions every week and the potential for explosive weekly numbers, especially if/when Peterson misses time. Knowing TC is drafting twice before we select again -- and that he is possibly thinking of handcuffing him to Peterson -- we chose to make the move now rather than wait until round 10.

There are many reason to dislike Benson on my fantasy roster. First off and most importantly, he was a four-year starter at the University of Texas... The Bears drafted Benson as the fourth overall selection in the 2005 draft... Benson struggled throughout the 2007 season but received enough support from his desperate coaches to retain his starting position until he sustained a season-ending ankle in week 11 to complete his career high 648 yard rushing season... Longhorns, Bears, injuries, non-existent performances, the flat Bears offense. Yes sir. There's a lot to dislike about Benson.

So why grab him, TC? RB depth is a real need for me. I am hopeful that my good friend (roll eyes) Cedric can break out of his three year old NFL slump and  beat out a rookie (that I never even heard of prior to March) and that he can have a couple of 2 TDs days. If not the pick of the disappointing Benson now, I would be praying equally hard for the Norwoods and Alexanders and Bells who will be later drafted -- And, trust me, they will be drafted soon.

There were several TEs available that I have rated as roughly even but I didn’t want to wait 19 picks; that seemed risky to me because this is the point of the draft where many owners start looking for a TE. Available TE pickings late in the 10^th round are likely to be pretty slim. Shockey should be solid and the primary receiving NYG TE as long as he remains healthy. A half dozen scores and 65 receptions seems reasonable to expect from Shockey this season.

Like Limas, rookie DeSean is going to a team that is desperately seeking to find the right receivers for their system. DeSean could prove to be a great add for the Eagles and Donovan could fondly have a strong receiver to work with. I don't expect steady performance out of Jackson, but I do think he will have some games that are above the average of the league.

I struggled with this pick.  I wanted another running back or wide receiver.  Norwood likely won't get a lot of opportunity with Michael Turner in town now but Norwood has the capability to take any one play 80 yards for a score.  And if he gets in on third downs I might just get three or four quality starts from him.  In a regular league I probably would not take Norwood - at least not this high.  But in a league that automatically takes the highest scorer each week, having a streaky player as your fifth anything is worth the risk.
