Hah., her tone is just awful. .. loved Dennis Miller though, especially his rapport with Al Michaels . Clearly Michaels got a kick out of playing off Miller's obscure metaphors. It was a bit different for a football game, but was really some funny , funny stuff.

would you keep Alex Collins on the Ravens in a pay-for-keepers auction league for 2 out of $200? Looks like a stud.

He is. That’s the kind of RB teams can find in the fifth round.

Yep. And then hope to hell that he is the one in the fifth round out of four or five that are any good.

Not true.  There are lots of very good backs taken after round four every year.

So wait, do you have to control the ball to the ground or just when your knee touches? These !@#$ing refs man...

And there are four times as many who are not. Look at every draft. Look at every back taken from the fourth round to the seventh. You will find a few who are quality backs. And you will find that is less than 20% of those backs. The rest are out of the league in a couple years or never make it. If you want to risk your backfield or backup backfield on a 20% chance it's foolish. The idea that good running backs are a dime a dozen has never been true. What has been true is that good ones come out of nowhere or are not high picks. The majority of the best are high picks. 

 

Who are the best? Zeke. Shady. Bell. Gurley. Fournette. Gordon.
