Comment:
Spiller was the obvious
choice, but Mr. Cohen may have suffered a mild stroke in Round 2
with his selections, but he recovered by Round 4 to take Early
Doucet.
Warriors:
B
Comment:
Jim represented the
Cholewka family well and he was there early despite not drafting to
Round 4.
Gilyard and Sanders
good be great sleepers.
My advice, keep your
2011 1st
and 2nd
rounders, you need them!
Incubus:
A+++
Comment:
To get into Amherst for
him without a ticket or being arrested was truly an accomplishment.
Anyone else notice how
when he first arrived he mapped out of all of his escape routes.
On a serious note,
Clausen was the right pick, you can never have enough QB’s.
Rest of the draft was
very solid.
My key question is how
the hell did Jermichael Finley skip all of our intentions last
season to round 4???
Stogies:
B+
Comment:
The writing down each
pick rather that just crossing them off on your PC is a bit much,
but Greg as always gets good players in the draft.
Thomas will be a good
WR, especially when Pat Bowlen wisens up and fires Josh McDaniels.
Will Gerhart be the
goal line TD machine?
Moeaki was a good pick
as were Edwards and Easley
Horsemen:

Comment:
Champs get the best TE
in Jermaine Gresham and then took a few Buffaloians in Starks and
Williams. Devin Thomas maybe a real sleeper in Shanahan’s system.
Central
DDR:

Comment:
Jahvid Best was the
right choice.
I really like what
Detroit is doing and see them as a true divisional contended
starting in 2011. One more good draft class and free agents will
start wanting to play in Detroit.
If you’re using Brohm
this year, you know you’re drafting in the top 3 again.

You will never win
Romey.com without a few solid drafts.
Golf last year, camping
this year, next year will be a Jonas Brothers concert….

Comment:
If Ben Tate starts,
this grade goes to an A.
No 2nd
rounder hurt, but got valuable backup safety plans and drafted JP
Losman – AWESOME.
Only negative was Joe
leaving immediately after his political discussion with Romey.
Cellmates: B
Comments:
Romey will get more
than a 2nd
rounder for McCoy at some point – DDR, Warriors, Bohemians.
Romey won the
off-season, which he said 7 times, but it's true.
West
Goats: A
Comments:
Mathews and Bradford
alone make this a super draft.
Tebow has potential,
but how many QB’s do you need.
Damian Williams was the
obviously choice here!! Oat is my pre-season favorite to win the
West.
Gamblers:
F
Comment: Can’t
win the league without new talent and rookies.
Crushers:
A
Comment:
Gracious host and the
players just fell to him – Bryant, Benn, Gronkowski, Foster &
Edelman.
B@stard for taking
Orlovsky, but he will be cut.
Bohemians:
C-
Comment:
Did Josh McDaniels take
over this team???
Took Hardesty and
Whitehurst way to early . Your 2nd,
3rd
and 4th
rounder may do better than your 1st.
Bradford should have
been #5 and you probably could have gotten Hardesty at #10, or worse
case, Golden Tate!
Romey, implement drug
testing please.

Horsemen Den 5.19.10
Power
Rankings
1.
Horsemen:
Fair or unfair, I write this article and I’m the defending champion,
plus I have a fairly good team. Keep in mind, Peterson’s #’s
were better without Favre and Larry Fitz will be fine.
2.
Cellmates:
Too much politicking cost Romey the #1 ranking, but he is right, his
team ON PAPER had a great offseason and looks very promising.
I hope Green & McCoy aren’t the next Matt Forte!
3.
Stogeys:
Loaded at QB & TE and solid at elsewhere plus has 2 first rounders.
4.
Crushers:
Brady is still a Top 5 QB, Mendenhall will finish in the Top 10 for
RB’s and Celek will be Kolb’s best friend in Philly. Add in
the 4th pick and Lou is
looking like a serious contender.
5.
Goats:
Maybe a surprise to some, but Oat has rebuilt this team and his 2
first rounders will fill in the holes at RB he has. Matt Ryan
can be a Top 8 QB, Jackson, Nicks & Crabtree gives him the best
young WR core in the league and Carlson should step up at TE in
Seattle.
6.
Utter Dominance:
Tom won hockey, so maybe this is his year in football. I
expect BIG things from Charles Johnson in Detroit this year, 1500
yards, 12 TD’s.
7.
Bohemians:
I question some of his offseason trades, but Bill’s team finds a way
to win, kinda like Oat’s team did in the past. He has too many
what if guys.
8.
DDR: QB
will be the key to this team, can Hasselbeck hold off Whitehurst,
will the RB he takes at #2 give him results. With the TE rules
though, Dallas Clark can carry this team.
9.
Incubus:
Aaron Rodgers is a great fantasy QB, concerned though if you’re RB’s
are the real deal or not and your WR is quite ugly. Love Finley at
TE though.
10.
Goodfellas:
Season rides on McNabb being healthy, otherwise you’re dead.
They have named players at all positions, but they coming off
injuries or will be splitting time.
11.
Co’s Pro’s: Must
hope at #3 overall he gets the RB that gives him something as
Charles will be splitting time in KC. Can Cutler regain the
form that made him look like a future stud? WR core is good
and Cooley should do well with McNabb.
12.
Underdogs: How
does the Romey Bowl runner-up fall to #12? Well if Brett Favre
doesn’t return, he has nothing at QB. At RB, he has two aging
injured RBs in Portis and Brown, heck Ricky Williams may be his best
RB! Good at WR and TE, but if you don’t have the QB or
RBs, your fighting with the C Bro’s for the #1 pick next year.
13.
Gamblers:
I’m rooting for Rob to return to his 90’s luck in this league.
You’re team needs to go at least 3-3 while Big Ben is out.
Gore & Maroney should be ok at RB, Lynch is a bust. Percy
Harvin’s numbers depend on if Favre returns. Scheffler could
surprise in Detroit.
14.
Warriors:
Ok at QB with Young and Romo, RB is all guys who split time, has no
#1 WR and his TE’s are nothing special.
