    Chris Johnson and Darren McFadden...

    A couple or running backs that disappointed as first round picks last season and that, thus, could be undervalued this year. Johnson held out last year, was out of shape when he returned and was downright awful many weeks. This year, not only will he be with the Titans from the get-go be he also participated in Tennessee's off-season conditioning program for the first time ever. Johnson could be a great pick at 7th or lower overall and McFadden could be a second-round steal.

    Johnson should have a great year but 2011 scares me. McFadden is a very solid player. Expect consistency.

    Yeah but for the reasons I gave, I think that it is more likely that Johnson is going to be closer to his 2010 form than he is to continue to slip.

    Mcfadden has talent but seems to be injury prone.

    I think I'd be willing to chance it on McFadden. He's got a ton of upside still and now has a real QB threat in Carson Palmer with him.

    Exactly what you don't expect out of DMC.

    Where do you expect CJ to be drafted and the same for DMC? DMC actually was leading the league in rushing yards before he went down, which is nothing new to him. CJ2K had a subpar season bc he was sitting out and probably just munching on cheetos the entire offseason.

    CJ won't be holding out this year and will not miss workouts/practices..add Hasselbeck at QB and defenses have to honor the pass...I expect a BIG bounceback year from CJ, assuming he stays healthy..

    Hasselbeck is still around? Guy has to be close to 40 now. Nice to have around and fairly reliable compared to some of the other bums theyve had there recently. Wouldnt want to take McFadden. Dont trust his durability and he doesnt get as many TDs as youd think. Theyve been in the league the same number of years yet CJ has twice as many total tds.

    McFadden is a beast if he can stay on the field.

    I'm still questionable about CJ, so I don't think I would take him 1st round. Maybe we can see a sign of something in Preseason.

    Hasselbeck may lose his job to Locker.

    After watching the Jake Locker to Nate Washington connection last year, it should be obvious Jake Locker gives them a better chance to succeed going forward.

    I did a draft last night. Picked 10th in a 10-team league and I got Johnson at 10 and McFadden at 30!

    Obviously, nobody is disputing that. My main point was that Johnson offers value in late first round and McFadden offers value in late second round. I loved getting Johnson with last pick of first round and McFadden with last pick of THIRD.

    LT, you're ahead of your time on this one.

    Listening to TFG yesterday, and this was the discussion. The consensus was that there will be a run on Foster, Rice, McCoy---and Johnson will fall into the "Great Value-land", and if they get improved QB play (as they should with Hasselbeck), Johnson could put up big names again.
