Should i pick up jahvid best

Dan Hanzus sorts through the depth charts. Jahvid Best is likely headed to the PUP list, adding a little clarity to an uncertain running back situation in Detroit. Plus, Roddy White reinforces the idea of Julio Jones' fantasy football evolution. More problems for Jahvid Best. After starting just 15 games over two seasons, the Detroit Lions running back has yet to be cleared for practice and reportedly could start the season on the PUP list. The preseason is a time to expose a team's problem, and if you're the Arizona Cardinals, you've got one at quarterback.

We've found at least 31 other problems that will keep NFL coaches up at night. Marcas Grant recaps the weekend's preseason games. Can Andrew Luck live up to the hype? Bucky Brooks has storylines for this weekend. Looks like Detroit is nicely rebuilding their team after a decade of misery.

Probably not in , but possible if there will be still a season in Great Move! All they moved down was 4 picks, and they get the whole day to decide what they want to do! The second pick in the second round is as good as the 30th in the first and costs them about 2 mil a year less for who they get. They also got another 4th round pick and a 6th round pick.

It really was a great move. Again, Great move! It is what it is. Best is a Lion now. He is considered to be too brittle by many.

The jury is still out IMO. Was Best the best move that the Lions made in the 1st round? Viklings did not get permisson from Favre yet to select Clausen. He is expected to let Childo know early tomorrow. Steve Young is pathetic. He hijacks the entire show. Also hate them showing people on the phone giving the picks away. Let Goddell tell us. Suh is good and so is Best but what is best for this team at this point…protecting the QB…. Can Best pick up blitzers? Cal running backs often stink in the NFL.

Arrington, Lynch but Jahvid might break that cycle. Foressett needs to catch a lucky break in SEA. We need ol a linebacker and cbs. I pushed for him as our No. It wasn't a case of his being brittle; he took shots. Anyway, Schaub wound up outside our group top 10, but subsequently led the NFL in passing yards, completions and attempts in ' Stafford's ceiling isn't that high.

Whereas Schaub's yards-per-attempt average in his injury-shortened '08 was a whopping 8. And whereas Schaub was 28 years old entering the '09 season and had served a three-year apprenticeship in Atlanta, Stafford is only Still, the similarities are noteworthy. There's no questioning either man's arm strength.

Each team has shown a willingness to pick up cheap yards by throwing it to running backs. And each man missed parts of two seasons after suffering hellacious hits. Stafford has played only 13 of a possible 32 games and needed shoulder surgery after two big hits last year: First, a Week 1 sack by Julius Peppers that caused him to miss five games, then a reinjury on a wallop from the Jets' Bryan Thomas that put him out for the rest of ' But team doctors have told the media that Stafford has no greater risk of hurting his throwing shoulder after surgery, and while the Lions' offensive line hasn't made huge strides -- especially at left tackle, where Jeff Backus looked old and creaky last year and tore a pectoral muscle this summer -- the team simply must know that keeping Stafford upright is priority one, two and three.

There's a negative overreaction to past injuries brewing here, and that means Stafford has great value potential. I view him as a high-upside No. Spiller , RB, Buffalo Bills. I guess is my "Draft Running Back Skills! Like Best, Spiller is an amazing athlete, so while Fred Jackson is the unquestioned Week 1 starter in Buffalo, Spiller has the same kind of Jamaal Charles-style upside that makes fantasy mouths water.

Of course, whereas Best is a good bet to lead his team in touches if he stays healthy, Spiller is no such thing. He spent his rookie campaign fumbling, pass blocking poorly and getting hurt, and he'd need Jackson to go down before he'd be anything close to an every-week fantasy play. Hey, this guy has been a tease for a while.

Spiller came out of Clemson with a reputation for highlight-reel plays twinned with a distinct lack of toughness. But that 4. I mentioned Spiller's sleeper potential to my cousin Josh, and Josh proclaimed that he sees a ton of Reggie Bush in the Bills rusher, and he didn't mean that in a good way. I understand the comparison. Bush, too, brought speed and quickness to the NFL -- and in a slightly bigger package -- and has found precious little success as an inside runner.

But I'm not yet willing to paint Spiller with the same yellow brush that paints Bush. I want to see Spiller get inside carries before I'm willing to do that. No, Buffalo's offensive line isn't good. And yes, Jackson is tough and should undoubtedly be drafted before Spiller.

I understand the Mark Ingram hype, I do. He's a Heisman winner. He won a national championship. He has a compelling back story. And he jumps into an enticing NFL offense. But haven't we seen enough rookie rushers disappoint the past couple of seasons? I mean, Ryan Mathews? Ben Tate and Montario Hardesty? Donald Brown? Knowshon Moreno? Beanie Wells? Do people really think Ingram is a much better player than those other rookies were?

He's and pounds, so he's not a true plow horse. He doesn't have breakaway speed or insane quickness. He has great vision, is very elusive in the box and has a mean streak. I like the kid's career prospects. But isn't he the guy who had a controversial knee injury just last year? And isn't this the same Saints offense that, since Sean Payton has been head coach, has featured zero rushers who've been given more than total touches in a season, and only one rusher who's exceeded Bush in ?

I've seen folks proclaiming Ingram as a clear starter. I just don't see it. Here's what I know about Thomas. It's a little early to confidently project where these guys will really go, but there is plenty of talent. Just because the draft looks light on top-end talent doesn't mean it lacks depth. It's unfortunate that Best is still hurt, and I hope he gets better and has no big long-term effects.

However, the Lions will move on, and there is no need to panic. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox! Your sports.
