Guest Form | FAD
Results
The Analysis Draft will
on begin Wednesday, May 8th at 12 noon ET. We will be welcoming GUEST ANALYSIS again for this draft. Please contact TC
Cannon
if you are interested in writing a few player reviews.
A few new things for our 2002 FAD! Along
with the basic draft slot assignments, we have added 'floater' slots
for guest analysis. Those that have a float slot can write about any
of the selections in their grouping. (As an example, the 1-3 slot
may write about any one of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd picks in the round -
You pick it!) Also, we now have the guest schedule online and an online
form for submitting your insights.
The current guest schedule is here.
*******************
Open letter to all guest writers -
First off, the FanEx membership thanks you for
your commitment and support. Your player analysis is an important
addition to our annual efforts.
Let's cover the basics.
FAD will begin on May 8th. There are 12 teams and 16 draft
rounds.
The most special thing about the FAD scoring rules is that it's a
best-ball scoring format were there are NO POST-DRAFT TRANSACTIONS
and there are NO starters are named. Each team is credited with
it's best scoring players each week.
Regarding your written analysis....
Guest analysis will be posted ASAP following your submission. This
is normally later the same date.
Be yourself. Entertain
the reader..
There is no word limits and no suggested length to your submission.
All submissions may be edited.
Guest analysis are for the "player" selection, not to
debate the choice. In other words, if you like RB Giant or WR
Saint over the selected QB Dolphin, you are to comment on the selected
player, not compare your thinking against others. Write what you
think of QB Dolphin and why. Certainly, you may mention the
negatives.. and BRIEF contrasting option. Always remember you
are review the player - not the owner's selection.
Here is some samples from past drafts..
1.10 RB Marshall Faulk | STL - Butler
by Guest XxxxXxxx of XYZ.com
|
The team owner
must live in Las Vegas because this is definitely a
gamble for a first round pick. The payoff for this
could be huge because the Rams have done a lot to
improve their previously pathetic offense in the
offseason. With the addition of Trent Green at QB, a
questionably deathly Isaac Bruce and rookie Terry Holt
at WR, and an improved offensive line with a more
experienced Orlando Pace and the addition of Adam
Timmerman, the offense could explode in 1999.
But the Rams are still
the Rams. They haven't been good since Marshall was a
in diapers. It may take a long time for all the new
faces to learn to play together. They also have to
play the 49ers and the Falcons twice, and these are
games where they probably won't score more than 10
total points.
Marshall is a proven
stud RB, but any time a player changes teams it is a
big gamble to take them in the first round. Passing up
on players who are more of a sure thing is definitely
a big gamble in my book. Then again, both these
members seem to have a solid FF history.. until they
got this "Faulk fever". -grin-

#2.05 WR Joey Galloway
| Kadlec
By Guest Xxxx Xxxxx of Houston, TX
Surprise.
Surprise. Joey Galloway getting picked here has got
to have prognosticators scratching their heads
everywhere. It seemed apparent that Emil Kadlec
would grab one of the few semi-premiere RBs left
with this pick, or maybe a QB. I was totally
unprepared to do an analysis on another WR.
Still available were Emmitt Smith, Edgerrin James,
Robert Smith, and Duce Staley; along with QBs Vinny
Testaverde and Chris Chandler. Why grab Galloway
when Freeman is already there?
Make no mistake, this was a great pick. Galloway has
an opportunity this year to put things into high
gear and could very well make also rans out of those
NFC Central wide-outs. Kadlec has insured that his
receiving corps will be the envy of the league. This
Freeman/Galloway duo is an easy 22+ TD's and each
will see 1,000+ yards. Galloway was the best
available player and Kadlec brought him in. Could
there be a trade in the future? Possibly, but since
there were already opportunities to trade out of
this pick, it appears Emil's intention is to go with
this dynamic duo.

5.05 WR Tony Martin | MIA - Nulty
by Guest Xxxxx Xxxxxx
of XYZ.com
|
I would love to sit
here and type about how risky this pick is and that Martin
should not be taken this high in the draft. But quite
honestly, I can not do that. There are several reasons for
this. Firstly, who in this country believes that Martin will
serve jail time? Not wanting to get into cases like Simpson
and Blades, but the truth is that these guys have to money to
afford the best lawyers and odds are that he will at very
worst get a slap on the bruised wrist.
So, now we're back to the
merits of this pick. If there was one team in the NFL that has
been needy of a Tony Martin, it is the Miami Dolphins. He has
proven himself to be a very good WR from both the yardage
standpoint and catches. But the primary thing that he brings
to the table in Miami is that he is a WR with a nose for the
endzone.
One thing that I look at in my analysis of a pick are the
choices made just prior to it. Assuming Martin plays, he very
well should have better years than Kitna, Bruce, and Kirby.
That would mean that Nulty is taking a small risk, but can
reap the rewards of drafting a second to third round talent in
the fourth. These are the kinds of moves that can win
championships.
