Avoid swimming with the Dolphins until the Tuna turns them around.
Alex Smith doesn't have "It".
You know, "It." Special quarterbacks need "It".
That special something San Francisco 49ers fans know so well from watching Joe Montana and Steve Young.
When a team builds their offense around a franchise quarterback, and he fails, the head coach goes down in flames with him.
Alex Smith and Mike Nolan look like incompetent co-pilots on a bad Twelve O'clock High episode who have been crippled by anti-aircraft fire, are lost above Germany, and surrounded by buzzing, angry Messerschmidts.
Nolan can't fly the plane right and Smith can't work his gun, so the Niners are done. Doomed.
The offensive line is also sub-par, not a bonus when developing a quarterback, and its play has lessened the value of hard-running Frank Gore.
Gore will be gored by defenses again, as Smith is unable to take pressure off him with a capable passing game. Pass on all Niners.
Unless one can grab Gore in the second round, as he does run hard despite the "Gang Up on Gore" defense designed against him.
Not being capable of directing an NFL offense wasn't enough of a burden for Tennessee quarterback Vince Young. No, it seems being a head case was his offseason addition to team unity.
Young, who waxed not so elegantly about the joys of retiring at the ancient age of 25 from his very painful life as a multi-million-dollar player of sport, seems to miss being a superstar Texas Longhorn.
In Big 12 games, he could dominate with superior athletic ability. Not so in the big leagues. Young must master the Titans' offense and his angst. Either Young can't, or won't, do that.
Until he does, and stops being a hindrance, the Titans' offense will flounder. Jeff Fisher will field a competitive team who will try to steal low-scoring games.
Not a good option for fantasy football. Don't remember any Titans on draft day.
The Oakland Raiders offense is filled with potential.
Will everything click for JaMarcus Russell? Will Darren McFadden eat up the league as a rookie? Will Justin Fargas and Michael Bush finally be a wicked one-two punch?
Will Robert Gallery finally play on Sundays like he played on Big-Ten Saturdays?
Will Javon Walker realize that if he can afford to spray $15,000 of bubbly, he can afford $5,000 worth of Las Vegas bodyguards? Off-duty Vegas cops or retired Special Forces fellas will gladly escort pampered, rich, child men around town for a few thousand bucks.
When will Al's ax fall on Lane Kiffin?
Too many questions and too many ball carriers in Raiderland, so avoid Oakland high in the draft.
To be brief, avoid bad teams. They will drag your draft down with them.
