With the 2009 NFL Draft having come and gone it is now time to start focusing more on the most important draft of all in football, YOUR Fantasy Football draft. And the Bruno Boys can't think of a better way to get in the mood than to start focusing some attention on the running back position.
Now, we are not saying that the running back position is make or break, because we firmly believe that the best way to ensure success is to not only have an extremely well rounded team, but a deep team as well.
But, as Bruno Boys Nation already knows, part of my (Bruno Boys Ziza) responsibilities at the Bruno Boys is critiquing the running back position on a weekly basis throughout the season.
So, today I am bringing you a rundown of what is happening in the NFL, that way you are not left scratching your head when August rolls around, wondering why Edgerrin James is not a Arizona Cardinal anymore.
During the weeks leading up to the season, myself and Bruno Boys Greg will be bringing you periodic updates that will guarantee that you stay one, no... 32 steps ahead of your competition.
Today we will be focusing on the teams in the AFC South. Keep on checking back with the Bruno Boys for other divisional running back updates that will help you stomp your way into your leagues Fantasy Football playoffs.

DENVER BRONCOS
Bruno Boys Ziza's Take: There was no team in the NFL that came close to the injury problems that the Denver Broncos experienced in 2008. So much so that they went out and signed three new running backs in Correll Buckhalter, Lamont Jordan, and J.J. Arrington AND STILL drafted Knowshon Moreno in the first round of this years draft.
The Broncos have gotten a ton of flack for the overabundance of backs from many football experts, myself included, but in a way it does make sense. They have assembled a stable of running backs to go with injured Selvin Young and Ryan Torrain. I am sure their thinking is that if you get enough talent at the position, one or two are bound to stick.
There is no doubt that Moreno and his immense talent will be the leader of the group and possibly could do well enough to be a mid-late RB2 in deeper leagues depending on how the Broncos split the carries.
The rest of the RB's though fall into the RB4 category unless there is a breakthrough due to injury. They have a ton of talent at this position. This is a much watch to see how this backfield unfolds before the season starts.
Bruno Boys Greg's Take: When contemplating a Denver running back, the best thing to do is run completely away from the situation. It is anyone’s guess right now as to who will line up in the backfield for this team at the start the season.
