Around SBN: Holy War Week Brings out the Worst in Fans

Stocking up for a SB run

The 3rd or 4th year is the common breakout year for a lot of positions, so evaluating after two years is tough. However, some guys have jumped out already.

Mario Williams- 18.5 sacks

D'Brickashaw Ferguson- 2 year starter at LT

Antonio Cromartie- 1 AP, 1 PB, 10 INTs

Santonio Holmes- 1796 yards, 10 TDs

Colts pick: Joseph Addai- 1 PB, 2742 yards, 23 TDs

DeMeco Ryans- 1 PB, 225 tackles, 2 INTs, 5.5 sacks

Marcus McNeill- 2 PB, 2 year starter at LT

Greg Jennings- 1552 yards, 15 TDs

Devin Hester-2 AP, 2 PB, 11 RET TD, 3002 return yards, 2 recieving TDs

Maurice Jones-Drew- 2552 yards, 24 TDs, 2 RET TDs, 4264 return yards.

Colts Pick: Tim Jennings- 37 tackles

Jason Spitz- 2 year starter at G

Jerious Norwood-1625 yards, 3 TDs, 6.2 YPC

Colts Pick: Freddie Keiaho- 1 year starter, 80 tackles, 1 INT, 0.5 sacks

Owen Daniels- 2 year starter, 1120 yards, 8 TDs

Leon Washington- 1486 yards, 7 TDs, 4.5 YPC, 3 RET TDs, 3136 return yards

Brandon Marshall- 1703 yards, 9 TDs

Elvis Dumervil- 21 sacks, 29 games played

Mark Anderson- 17 sacks

Colts Pick: Michael Toudouze -2nd best LT on the 2007 Colts, 5 games played

Colts Pick: Charlie Johnson -30 games played, maybe he'll be a good guard

Sam Koch- 2 year starter at P, one of three 2 year starters drafted after the 5th round.

Colts Pick: Antoine Bethea -1 PB, 113 tackles, 5 INTs, 2 year starter

Colts Pick: T.J. Rushing- 1 RET TD, 1044 return yards

Marques Colston- 2240 yards, 19 TDs, 2 year starter

 

My Picks:

1. Addai, the best back in the draft to date.

2. Just missed on the second best back in the draft, so Norwood and Washington are tempting. Washington's return ability is a big plus, receiving is a wash with Washington better as a rookie and Norwood better last year. Both have been above average runners, but Norwood has been better. Instead of picking one of them I'll take the undersized DE averaging nearly a sack a game (.72 sack/game) Elvis Dumervil.

3. Freddie Keiaho, another great LB in Polian's long line of them

5. Antonie Bethea, won a starting job as a rookie and made the pro bowl the next year

6. T.J. Rushing, the Colts need a returner since I passed on Washington

7. Marques Colston, The best WR in the draft was barely drafted.

No pick 4?

I’d grab Bethea there somewhere, he’s been a solid starter.

GOOD CATCH

You ain't gotta have John Madden, You ain't gotta have Dick Vitale,
You ain't gotta Lee Corso, You ain't gotta have Stuart Scott,
You ain't gotta have Linda Cohn, Know what I'm talking bout,
You ain't gotta have the staff of ESPN
You ain't gotta have ABC staff just to talk sports baby, cuz I got game
