All right, it's t-minus less than a week till the draft, and the draft website just opened up. (A quick note on our hosting site, which is www.myfantasyleague.com. They had a singularly unimpressive -- but cheap -- site a few years ago. They've gotten more expensive but they've improved the site along with it. I've not used a site like CBS Sportsline or ESPN so I can't directly compare, but myfantasyleague does a good job.)

And DAMN. It's obvious already that the RB pool is going to be a shallow one. I've got third overall pick and I'm just hoping there's a viable RB left for the taking. It looks like it'll either be Clinton Portis or Ryan Grant -- both are good but not in the super-stud category I was hoping for. I'm leaning towards Grant, as he's a young guy and he could be a franchise back for GB going forward, while Portis is definitely on the downturn in his career. Then the question becomes... who will my RB2 be? After the third pick, I don't have another one till 22nd... and there'll be slim pickings there. I'm hoping for a Thomas Jones, and would love to grab Rashard Mendenhall if the opportunity presents itself in later rounds.
