Chris Johnson and Darren McFadden...

[LT Profits]

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.

think johnson will have a great season this year

[will2survive]

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

[JAKEPEAVY21]

give me Chris Johnson..

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.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Mcfadden has talent but seems to be injury prone.

[BigDeem5]

McFadden is so injury prone it is redic

[infamousbacardi]

Good post LT. I think you're right all around

[MikeZaW]

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.

[infamousbacardi]

McFadden in round 2 is a must draft to me

[onlooker]

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.

[GamblerSpirit]

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.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Johnson is going to have a big year.

Oh I agree.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Hasselbeck may lose his job to Locker.

either way it's an upgrade to the QB that CJ has had in the past..

[Jericholic]

Hoping for a big bounce back year for Johnson.

Ray Rice led the NFL in yards from scrimmage last year.

But he is better on PPR leagues

[infamousbacardi]

Locker is going to be great, but if Hass is there he starts this year obviously

[infamousbacardi]

Locker is solid in a keeper league I think though

[ronzer]

Johnson can't be any worse than he was last year thats for sure

[me-first]

a definite yes on Chris Johnson this year, not sure about McFadden though..

[LT Profits]

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

[Mr KLC]

Love Mcfadden if he can stay healthy

[Wrigley]

Chris Johnson over McFadden for me

[LT Profits]

Chris Johnson over McFadden for me

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.
