Reality check: 2009 prospects

I came accross this problem as I was advance scouting for fantasy football this fall.  Is there a single Eagle you would pick in the first round of any fantasy draft?  The top player who is an Eagle is Westbrook, who has a lot of question marks due to age and injury concerns, so he'll probably go in the mid-2nd round somewhere.  Otherwise, who goes before the 4th round?  I'm not contending that fantasy success for individual players means success for the team as a whole, but as high as I am on the Eagles chances this year, realizing this gave me a very big pause.  What should I make of this?

Indeed. And defense wins championships. Also, Calvin Johnson, complete freak, elite WR, team wins 0 games because they have little else. Balance/depth matters. And offensive line play.

If I have the 10th-12th pick and Westbrook is still there, I’m giving it STRONG consideration.

Well it depends on how your league counts catches. Westbrook is a beast if you get half a point for catches. The same thing happens every year when it comes to Westy (except maybe for last year), everyone thinks of all the reasons that 36 could be a bust, but every year he comes through. People are gonna sleep on Westbrook and LT, and both will be end up being top ten fantasy RBs IMO.

McNabb should be a late 2nd round pick, the third or fourth QB taken. I just hope Curtis and Jackson will have injury free seasons.

I took Bwest at 5 last year..

never regretted it… load up on RBs and take him with the 1st pick. 14 TDs last year. If he’s healthy you play and hes good for 15+ points a game. Problem is you need to stay right on top of your starting lineup before the birds games roll. You never see if Bwest is out until 10 minutes before kick off.

McNabb in Round 2/3

Westie may not be gone in the 1st round but he should def be gone by early 2nd, with a new handcuff this year. An injured B-West, is still better than 10-15 other starting RBs in the fantasy world. Jackson and Curtis will be 4/5 range… for some reason I see Jackson going first in my league this year, maybe because I stole him in Rnd 16 least year.

Perhaps i can help

With speculation of who is going where and when, i found a couple sites that gives you the ADP (average draft position). I’m only linking two for anyone who wants to compare/study them. I can add more if you would like.

I’m not sure what sources people rely on, but these are what i can go with/find.
