    Don't sleep on Jeff Janis. He took Jordy's spot during OTAs and was his replacement today.

    I think Randy Moss and Dante Culpepper might disagree.

    WRs gotta have a level of intelligence to succeed in these complex systems like GB and NE where their route is determined by the coverage on any given play.

    See Brandon Lloyd.

    See Chad Johnson.

    I now have Cobb right on Calvins heels, I have them 6/7 or 7/6 at WR. Still a bit of separation to top 5 though (Brown, the first 3 you mentioned, Odell).

    LT I got picks #10&11 (PPR, 3WR + Flex league) in a keeper re-draft league. Based on first round keepers I'm thinking I'll have my choice of: Forte, Murray, Cobb, Calvin, DT and maybe one of either Julio or Dez. If Julio or Dez are around I'm snagging them, but not sure if I go WR/RB or risk it with a solid ass WR/WR pair.

    What do you think?

    Generally speaking, if you can get 2 of the top 5 WR per the projections above, it would be hard not to go WR/WR. If top 5 WR are gone after your first pick, I think you'd have to resist the urge to take Calvin or Cobb as second WR and take RB second. Otherwise, your RBs will suck and you won't have two 300-point WRs to make up for it.

    that's part of it, but HGH is the much bigger reason. guys are carrying way too much muscle mass and weight which puts unnatural amounts of torque on ligaments and tendons.

    until the NFL starts strictly testing and punishing for HGH use, these injuries will continue piling up.

    people will continue to cry about there being "too many preseason games".

    has absolutely nothing to do with that - only squares bring up such a stupid argument.

    75% of these injuries either happen in practice or 1 on 1 drills, and 90% of them involve no contact.

    "People cry about too many preseason games - only squares bring up the argument?"

    Aaron Rodgers brought it up after the game. He should know! They need two games at most.

    Packers aren't winning no title. The only time they did Is cause they had a great defense.
