Draft Analysis
Round 5, Pick 4
Positives He will be the primary ball carrier and should carry the ball 300+ times if he stays healthy.
He had 10 games with over 20+ carries in '07 and only one game under 10 carries.
Edge finished last season as the 10th ranked RB in this Fantasy Sharks scoring system.
Opens the season with a nice schedule and gets to play the 49ers and Rams twice.
Negatives He'll turn 30 this season and has had a ton of carries over the duration of his career.
His reception numbers have decreased every year since 2004.
The Arizona O-Line isn't one of the best units in the league and the center (and backup center) are currently injured.
He may lose a few carries to Tim Hightower this year, and that may include some at the goal-line.
Not much upside. He probably won't better his numbers from the previous couple of years in Arizona. Draft Strategy Not a pick that made me want to do cartwheels, but one I needed to make here. He was probably the last clear starter left on the board and I still needed to add a RB2.
I don't expect him to finish the season as the 10th ranked RB like last season, but I'd be happy with anything in the 15-20 range. I think he's capable of doing that providing he stays healthy. (Contributed by: Aussie Cowboy)
Round 3, Pick 7
Positives Proven and durable running back. Clear-cut starter and used to handling the load. Negatives Bad team, bad O-line, on the wrong side of 30. Draft Strategy RBs go incredibly fast in expert leagues, so I thought this was the safest pick available. Edge probably won't win any fantasy games by himself, but he should be a consistent source of about 10 points/week. (Contributed by: pcfountain)
