    Scoring is standard. 5 points Bonus for +100 yards, 5 points bonus +300 passing, bonus for length of TD over 50.

    Ryan Matthews in the 4th Round

    Reggie Bush in the 5th Round

    Pierre Garçon in the 6th Round

    Thoughts?

    I like Bush best

    My one problem with Bush is that I think this year Bell may take a lot of touches away from him. I'm also in a draft position (#5 overall) to take Calvin Johnson if necessary...I had them both last year and most of the time it sucked...lol.

    Pierre Garçon in the 6th is pretty sweet.. hard to make a call at RB without knowing what you'll be able to grab but both back you mentioned are not on the top of my "to do list"...

    Yeah. Feel the same way. Not sure what Jackson is going to do to Garçons numbers...

    Take Garcon in the 6th. He'll still get his numbers. Jackson is going to be low catches, high volume per catch type guy. I don't trust either Mathews or Bush. And both of those rounds are fairly high for running backs set to enter a committee.

    Kind of leans in that direction as well. Figure if I get Calvin in the first...figuring The big 4 RBs are gone. I may be able to get Ray Rice in the second and then another solid WR or RB in the 4th.

    I don't think I'd look at Rice as highly as others do. Pierce is better suited for Kubiak's scheme because he's more powerful a runner than Rice is. Plus you have to keep him on the bench for 2 games. I see Pierce stealing a lot of touches this year, especially if he excels in Weeks 1 and 2. Not to mention his goal line work. I might write off Rice completely and bump him down your rankings.

    as someone who suffered through rice last season, a second round pick is too high for him this year. We have no guarantee he won't be as bad as last year, he will likely split time with pierce, and two game suspension. Way to much risk for a 2nd rounder.

    Maybe a 3 or 4? Don't think he would last until 5...

    maybe, you know your league better than I, but everyone is way down on Rice this year and it seems really early. ADP 60(ESPN) and 100(Yahoo)

    Yeah...I just can't see him lasting passed 5 in our draft.

    I just like the upside and value of guys like Joique Bell and Shane Vereen better than Rice and they are going around the same time.
