Draft Notes ... and Steve Jack is back

Stray thoughts about rounds 9 and 10 of the Mock Draft I wrote about today
* Interesting to see Anthony Gonzalez's value falling some with Marvin Harrison enjoying a healthy camp. There are only so many passes to go around.
* Chris Perry wouldn't go in the ninth round if we re-did the draft tonight now that he's the starter. I've been writing about him all off-season, so I'm enjoying the development. Especially since I acquired him in my dynasty league for a move down in the fourth round rookie draft and the Bucs Alex Smith. Hot damn! Better trade him before he gets hurt.
* Taking Vince Young as a QB2 was another gut check for me. But I love the upside that deep, preseason be damned. It was either him or Aaron Rodgers and I saw a big tier drop-off. Ray Rice not falling to me hurt. He's definitely moved into the upper tier of fun backups to take in the ninth-round.
* Chris Brown went ahead of Ahman Green and Steve Slaton.
* Devin Hester in the ninth!
* Industry types, for what it's worth, aren't that into Brett Favre's comeback.
* Reggie Brown's bad preseason is hurting him, falling to the tenth. Not a terrible value there.
* The Vikings are hte first defense to go in the ninth. The Chargers go in the tenth. The order is a little different than normal, but the rounds are about right. I still prefer waiting.
* Guys like Vernon Davis and Owen Daniels will be there in PPR leagues this late. With twelve solid tight end options, the last few to take one get value.
* And we interrupt this rambling to tell you that Steven Jackson is back! I said not to worry unless he was still out after this weekend. He made it in time.

Would you go Deshawn Jackson or Eddie Royal? Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

Id go with Royal ... and the Perry update is in. I have him just ahead of Kevin Smith, but behind Justin Fargas. As much as I like him, he has fewer than 75 career carries. can he stay healthy?

Gregg,
In a PPR keeper league, would you keep Andre Johnson and lose a 2nd round pick or keep Big Ben and lose a 9th round pick?
