14. Tony Romo, 22, 137, 149.56
15. Kevin Kolb, 108, 91.38, 132.5
The point here is that there was no pressing need to take Aaron Rodgers with the 2nd pick of the draft if you could instead wait to take someone with a similar total score as late as the 8th (Drew Brees), 10th (Peyton Manning), 21st (Tom Brady), and 33rd (Philip Rivers) positions.

38. Jerome Harrison, 75, 50.3, 66.02
39. Deangelo Williams, 19, 58.2, 62.81
40. Clinton Portis, 64, 45.2, 57.25
41. Ryan Grant, 24, 4.5, 4.95
It appears that Ray Rice and Matt Forte had much better fantasy seasons than many realize. It’s also interesting to see that Lesean McCoy, picked in the 40th position, played to the level of the 1st overall pick Chris Johnson. Of course, so did Arian Foster and Darren McFadden from much lower positions. And as I mentioned earlier in the week in regard to rookies, Ryan Mathews was about as ill-advised a 2nd round pick as there has ever been.

32. Michael Crabtree, 55, 175.1, 215.23
33. Robert Meachem, 94, 149.2, 207.64

35. Steve Breaston, 115, 138.3, 204.57

41. Donald Driver, 57, 130.5, 161.49
42. Steve Smith, NYG, 30, 128.9, 145.01
43. Steve Smith, Car, 54, 112.3, 137.57
44. Jerricho Cotchery, 91, 96, 132.4
45. Randy Moss, 12, 97.3, 102.17
46. Sidney Rice, 104, 62, 88.87
47. Bernard Berrian, 77, 53.2, 70.27
Look at Santana Moss sitting there at the top of the list. For such a steady performer to have slipped all the way down to the 111th pick, just wow! It’s also interesting to see Brandon Marshall and Desean Jackson ranked so low in value. And Randy Moss, shouldn’t you have just retired before laying that egg of an awful season?
Tight Ends:
1. Jason Witten, 38, 253.2, 293.29
2. Antonio Gates, 43, 203.2, 239.61
3. Vernon Davis, 48, 199.4, 239.28
4. Chris Cooley, 79, 178.9, 237.79
5. Kellen Winslow, 86, 169, 229.56
6. Zach Miller, 84, 163.5, 220.73
7. Tony Gonzalez, 46, 176.6, 210.45
8. Visanthe, Shiancoe, 88, 112, 153.07
9. Brent Celek, 63, 117.1, 147.84
10. Heath Miller, Pitt, 89, 104.2, 142.84
11. Owen Daniels, 98, 97.1, 136.75
12. Dallas Clark, 44, 89.7, 106.15
13. Jermichael Finley, 45, 67.1, 79.68
The run on tight ends that occurred in the 4th round of the draft proved only 60% successful, with Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, and Vernon Davis meeting expectations, while Dallas Clark and Jermichael Finley succumbed to injuries. And rather than taking Tony Gonzalez with the 46th pick, Chris Cooley at 79th would have been a better selection.
Defenses:
1. Jets, 69, 193, 248.49
2. Eagles, 101, 174, 247.23
3. Cowboys, 113, 162, 238.28
4. Vikings, 99, 125, 176.56
Taking the Jets defense so early in the draft probably wasn’t the best idea, in that there wasn’t enough separation in total points over defenses drafted much later to justify pulling such a quick trigger.
