Post Week 2 Sunday Thoughts...

Below are some random thoughts following week 2 (sans MNF game).  It's been an incredible aerial attack to kick off the 2011 NFL season, I can't imagine this pace will continue. 

John Beck, Charlie Whitehurst & Rex Grossman for a rookie pick

Beavercats and Naughty Thoughts complete a multi-player deal.  

McNabb, DeWilliams, GJennings and more for Ryan Fitzpatrick and more...

In what shoots to the top of the biggest trades of 2011 list (and likely retains the crown for the season), is this doozy.  

Revised Fantasy Football Rookie Predictions

With the PAFFL auction less than a month out (and hopefully the NFL lock out coming to an end shortly), I wanted to post a revised prediction on rookie picks for 2011.  

2011 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings

I love the NFL draft because it creates some clarity for team depth charts and most importantly brings new talent into the league.  This year, thanks to the lockout, the draft takes on more importance than any other over the past 24 years I've been following the draft, because there's been no free agency or trades, thus resulting in NFL teams applying need based selections more than I can remember in past drafts.  

Donovan McNabb, Thomas Jones, Marques Colston for Jahvid Best

Team Kitty and the Los Frijoles Pintos completed the first 2010 in season blockbuster.  

Derek Anderson & Sebastian Janikowski for Devin Thomas & Garrett Hartley

The South Whore Jibbers send WR Devin Thomas (signed for $8 in the auction this year) and K Garrett Hartley to Team Kitty for QB Derek Anderson ($18 '11) and K Sebastian Janikowski ($1, '11).

Steve Smith, Clinton Portis and more dealt

All of these players are simply just unrestricted rights, so its a pretty small deal in the grand scheme of things but noteworthy because of how many guys switched up positions. 

Plenty of Stud PAFFL QB's Available in '10

Unlike what we witnessed in '09 where there were essentially only 2 of the top 15 fantasy quarterbacks open and available at this year's annual auction (Tom Brady & Peyton Manning), due to expiring contracts, this next year's auction will see approximately 8 of the top 15 open. 

Jason Campbell for Anquan Boldin - Fantasy Football Trade

Firkin Fanclub and Stronfighters completed an interesting trade.
