Pretty much just a complete flier. I am really rolling the dice at RB in this league - if Jones and Williams get hurt or end up with the lesser RB role in their "RBBT" (RB by tandem) systems, I'm pretty much out of luck. Faulk had over 600 return yards last year, and if something happens to Maroney, maybe Faulk will have some value.

I needed a LB and he was the best available. Really don't know much about him since I didn't have much time to research. Hoping for a HUGE season ;)

At this point in the draft I decided I should take a look and see where I wanted back-ups or alternates. I decided DB, LB, and DEF would be it. I had my heart set on Laron Landry but he was taken before I could get to him. So I opted for yet another young guy (a 2006 2nd round draft pick). His sacks were in the double digits last year, and I expect that this year will be a progressive year; at this age, players are typically peaking instread of on the decline.

Dan Morgan is such a kind of guy. missing nearly all of 2006 he is eased back into the game. he is listed as starter in the middle which usually translates to the most tackles (=points) for IDPs. if he can stay healthy all year (am I that crazy to think of that?) this could be a steal. this is what we are trying to get with these late round picks.

Go Saints!

This is yet another situation where I may have waited a tad too long to pick up my target. I had thought of getting Dan Morgan and seeing how long he can last this year. Regrettably, he went to yougroman; congrats to you. I picked up Carpenter as a reliever for my bye weeks, so I don't really plan on playing him much. He is yet another talented player (1st round pick in '06), whose career should be on the rise.

The guy that wasn't even in the database. A sure fire sign that he's everybody's sleeper pick. A lot has been made of Norwood breaking out this year and Dunn breaking down. Not sure where Snelling fits into the equation but has shown so good signs this preseason. Also, I love 3rd string RB's.

One of the only decent teams left to be a spot starter/bye week filler.

When the draft got to this point, I looked at my list and said "I can't believe *still undrafted* is still undrafted!", and then noticed Madieu 3 spots above that guy. He is a nice backup to Gibril (and also evidence of how stupid my Gibril pick was, since Madieu is very similar and still available 10 rounds later) and can serve as a viable IDP flex during bye weeks if I need him. I expect 70 solo, 20 assists, 10 PD, and a few INT to get him into triple digits. Like most of my IDP-fliers, he's young (25) so there may be some upside. And you can never have too many Williamses on your team, at least I hope not.

Simple handcuff move for Gore. Robinson is a decent athlete and would be valuable to me if Gore misses a start.

Needed a kicker to fill out the roster. Most are very close point wise.
Hard to really break out who will do what each season.
He is serviceable and should do just fine.
Wouldn't hurt me at all if we dropped kickers from the roster ;)

What can I say. We all need a kicker, and their scoring depends majoritarily on the team's performance. So I was trying to guesstimate - of the teams left - who will be able to move the ball up and down the field and go impotent near the end zone. If I were to know these things, well, I'd be living in Vegas right now. But since I don't have a crystal ball, I just went for a guy that usually does not disappoint and posts solid numbers. The only thing that I don't like is that he plays outside. However, I couldn't find anyone I liked that was "domed".

The Bengals were ranked higher than I expected on some of the projections I studied. With Chicago as my pick in round 5, I was in no hurry to pick up another D. So I picked who I thought was the best available in the last round. I expect to play them once.
