, RB, CAR: Follow the logic here. If Williams is on my “Love” list…

Jake Delhomme, QB, CAR: Never a good sign: when you’re not significantly better than David Carr. Never a good sign, take two: your team goes and trades for said David Carr.

(was cominating till injury)

Dwayne Jarrett, WR, CAR: I don’t like rookie wide receivers. Ever.

Cedric Benson, RB, CHI:Maybe he stays healthy, maybe he makes good on the potential, maybe he improves on last year’s 4.1 YPC. But he’ll have to do it on someone else’s team. I know he was a lot better over the second half, but he’s gonna have to do it over a full year for me to believe. Rather be a year late on this one than get burned by an underachieving back.

(really good call but how tough was this)

****The Cleveland Browns: Pick a Brown, any Brown. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Braylon Edwards have some talent, but who is going to throw them the ball? I hate Jamal Lewis here and anyone who lines up at quarterback. This is a bad team.

(Pick a brown any Brown and they dominated last year. Kellen and Braylon racked up the td’s, Anderson threw them bullets and Jamal went off for a load of td’s) So you could call this a 100% miss)

****Terrell Owens, WR, DAL: He’s got 25 million reasons not to care this year.

He Almost got 25 td’s

Marion Barber III, RB, DAL: I actually like Barber overall. I just don’t think there’s any way he gets 16 scores again.

(same on the td’s)

Rod Smith, WR, DEN: I have many fond memories, Rod.

Daniel Graham, TE, DEN: Only because he’s getting a lot of hype and I don’t see the Broncos using the tight end all that much. But if you get him after the top 10 tight ends are off the board, I’m fine with it. I’m telling you, the position is deep this year.

Any Lions running back: The only thing worse than a terrible running back is a bunch of them, all splitting carries.

Calvin Johnson, WR, DET: He’s a fantastic talent, no doubt. But he’s also a rookie wide receiver and he’ll start the year as the No. 3 option. He’ll probably put up the same numbers as Mike Furrey but go about three rounds earlier.

Vernand Morency, RB, GB:Last year, I had him on the “Monday Night Football” game against the Eagles. Four times he had it at the 1-yard line. Four times he couldn’t get it. One stupid yard. That lack of a touchdown cost me the game in three different leagues. I hate Vernand Morency with every fiber of my being.

Any Houston wide receiver not named Andre: This one’s pretty self-explanatory, no?

Peyton Manning, QB, IND: Only because you’ll have to take him in the first round, and I don’t believe in taking anything but a running back in round one.

****Fred Taylor, RB, JAC: Ask not who the MJD tolls for, it tolls for thee.

(He was a huge contributer and had a career year)

****Any Jaguars quarterback: Unless they turn out to be named “Daunte.”

(Garrard did amazing)
