The plan
We'll get back to daily weekday posts starting Monday, focusing more on fantasy value. Between here and the columns, I'll take a belated look at winners and losers among NFL veterans after the NFL Draft, and rank dynasty league prospects on defense.
I'm on the clock with a late second-round pick in my league and was disappointed to see a sliding Ted Ginn just come off the board. I'm not a huge fan, but he's better than 26th best rookie pick. The best options left according to my board are Antonio Pittman, Jacoby Jones, David Harris, and Brian Leonard. I hate passing on running backs in a 16-team league, but my instinct is that Jones will have a chance to start right away.
Hopefully no one in my league reads this.

Congrats on the wedding, Gregg.
That's an interesting position you are in with the draft. I'll tell you, out of the names on that list, the one that sticks out to me is Brian Leonard. I've owned Steven Jackson since his rookie year in my keeper league, and I'm both excited and scared about the acquisition of Leonard. My excitement stems from the fact that after watching film and reading about the kid, there is no doubt in my mind he will improve the Rams offense this year. But, Linehan says he wants to use him around 15 plays a game, and I fear his exceptional short yardage skills will cut into Jackson's TD total, and of course, receptions on 3rd down.
The two "Leonard Effects" may offset each other though.
All I've seen and heard about this kid is he can play - which is why he went 2nd round, even though he played as a fullback his last year at Rutgers. I'll make sure to grab him, because if S-Jax goes down, I think he can step right in and be productive.
