Miller was very involved in the Raiders offense last year with 44 receptions for 444 yards and 3 T's.  This was with a platoon of QBs throwing him the ball so it's good to know that it's more Zach Miller that is getting it done, and not a 'connection' between a QB and a player.  Miller was a rookie last year and should add some seasoning to his route running this year.  Miller is one of my sleeper TEs this season.  I expect a solid 50 receptions out of him in 2008 with upside for more if young QB JaMarcus Russell leans on the TE position as most young QBs do.

Ian Allan (via trade)
PK Nate Kaeding
QB: Cutler Garrard  RB: SJackson Forte KSmith Bradshaw
WR: AJohnson SSmith Welker CJohnson BrJohnson Wilford TE: Davis Miller Olsen PK: Kaeding DT:

I admit that I gave up a lot in this trade. To move up 3 spots (16.05 to 16.02), I gave away three rounds (17.08 down to 20.02). But I think Kaeding might be the best kicker in the draft. Very accurate, and he plays for a good team that’s going to play an easy schedule. I felt like if I didn’t make the trade, either Pitzer or Kellogg would select him.  And trading for Kaeding gives me the options, for the next 48 hours or so, to mull whether I want to carry only one kicker in this league. I would take a 0 in his bye week, and maybe he would have one other poor game, but other than that, he should be very solid.

The bad news is we don't know what to expect from his quarterback - whomever that may be.  The good news is that Ginn had two of his best outings in the last four weeks, indicative that he is learning the game.  And that he is an entrenched starter - something that is hard to find in the 16th round of any draft.

He threw 27 TD passes last year, I took Warner in the 16th round and he is my third quarterback. Not much downside in all that. Sure, he might be the starter in Week 1, but Warner has played plenty over the past three years in Arizona . It easily could happen again.

Kolby Smith put up decent numbers when he filled in for the injured Larry Johnson in 2007, and he's the backup in Kansas City again this season.  With Johnson coming back off of his injury, there is certainly a chance he could go down again in 2008, which would give us a starting RB in the 16th round.  Even if LJ remains healthy, we expect Kolby Smith to spell Johnson more than he has in the past.  If the Chiefs continue to run LJ at the pace they have been for the past few years, it's not a case of IF he'll get injured, it's WHEN.  To alleviate the load on Johnson, that means Kolby Smith will see at least a few carries every game.  And with the Chiefs having very little offense except their running game, even a portion of the rushing attempts should add up to a
productive backup - with that outside injury chance of getting a starter late in the draft.
