I just read a quality post about kickers in 2007 from NFL Stats - 2007 FG Kicker Rankings. I know, I know, nobody in fantasy football land really has any love or great interest in the kicker, do they? As someone who is personally a great fan of both Jason Elam and CU-alum Mason Crosby, I probably have a distorted love for kickers. Or perhaps it’s because it’s the one position in football that I can actually envision myself doing - keeping in mind my gender and stature, you can imagine that I don’t exactly sit around dreaming about how I’d sack the QB. And suiting up on the o-line? Not a chance. But booting the heck out of a ball through the uprights? Oh yeah. Plus I think there’s a lot of mystery surrounding how to rank and or draft a kicker for fantasy leagues. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to argue that it’s the most interesting or important position to contemplate in the offseason, but an enjoyable read nonetheless.

I think Smitty from FFXtreme might be in my brain - seriously, I was just thinking about which players were overvalued and undervalued for the 2008 season and BAM - Smitty writes an article about it. So check out his Overvalued and undervalued players heading into 2008. Though I do disagree with you on Maroney. I am a big fan of Maroney and will be that player that drafts him in the 2nd round without any hesitations.

In other news, look for me next week as the guest blogger on the New York Times’ pro football blog, the Fifth Down. I will be blogging on their site every day next week and will put up links directly from FFLibrarian to the New York Times entries I do. So enjoy!

I’m lacking enthusiasm for being at work today - I remember the good ol’ days when I lived in Washington, D.C. and got Presidents’ Day off of work since it’s a federal holiday. Oh the beauty of federal holidays. So I hope those of you who aren’t working today are living it up on my behalf.
But on to football. Yes, stunningly there is football to talk about.

• Cold, Hard Football Facts’ Health = wealth in the NFL does an interesting ranking of teams by most injuries to starters during the 2007 season. Teams are ranked by the total number of games missed by all key players for the season. Who comes out as the most unhealthy team of the season? My poor Denver Broncos. And the most healthy? The Pack.
• SI’s Top 10 RB Prospects from this year’s rookie class. Not surprisingly, Run DMC tops the list but I’m personally interested in seeing what happens with Ray Rice. I like the guy a lot despite his supposed wear and tear.
• FFToolbox has a ridiculous number of Mock NFL Drafts on their site. Here’s one that was just updated today, but check out their homepage for links to at least three others.
• Okay, it’s possible that I could spend my entire work day pouring through the material in this link - The Huddle’s Fantasy Football NFL Team Reports. The Huddle opens up their prime content during the offseason so that we can all get hooked on their high quality content and want to pay for it come August…but go ahead and delve in - you won’t be sorry, this is good stuff.

All for now, the library world is calling.

Check out my first article for Sports Grumblings - Fantasy Football Grumblings: Injury Woes. I’m hoping this will be the first of several articles that I will be adding to the fantasy world on both Sports Grumblings and Sports Data Hub.

Enjoy the weekend!

Greetings and happy Friday. I’ve been a little bit quiet on the blog this week - after attending the Fantasy Sports Trade Association conference for two days earlier this week, I had a lot of catching up to do with my real world librarian job. And I’ve been working on an article that should be up on Sports Grumblings sometime soon, so it has been a bit of a busy week. But without further ado, here are some football links for the day:

• I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I read things like FFXtreme’s breaking news that DeShaun Foster will likely be traded or released, I get a little thrill. I mean there’s a backfield situation that has been more of a snoozefest than anything lately and I can’t wait to see what’s going to pan out. It’s like fresh RB meat in a way. Will the Panthers try to get their hands on someone like Michael Turner perhaps? Or does this just skyrocket DeAngelo Williams’ value? I love the speculation during the offseason. Read ESPN’s McNabb, Shockey, Harrison among stars in limbo for more thoughts on who might get traded in the next few months.
• Some Colts news - my husband isn’t going to be happy to hear this - but it sounds like three big Colts names aren’t likely to be ready to go by training camp. Harrison, Sanders and Freeney have all had surgery - what does this mean for the Colts 2008 season and is anyone out there actually excited about drafting Marvin Harrison now? As if the 2007 season wasn’t enough of a deterrent…
• NFL Stats’ Belichick’s Belichick led me to this great article about the Patriots’ football scholar in residence, Ernie Adams. It’s a little bit of a longer read, but it is excellent - and who doesn’t have a few spare minutes on a Friday afternoon?
• Check out SI’s The calm before the storm for a mock NFL Draft.

All for now - I’ll try to be online this afternoon if anyone has a strong desire to talk pre-Combine with me. Unlikely, I know. Have a good one!

Using the invaluable mock draft database at HailRedskins.com, I looked at ten of the best mock draft websites - Football’s Future, Huddle Geeks, Draft Tek, Consensus Draft, The Huddle Report, Q.I. Sports, Great Blue North Draft Report, East Coast Sports, First Round Forecast, Draft Ace - and used a points system to configure a top ten.

The system is simple: A player will be assigned 10 points if he is listed as the first overall pick, 9 if he is listed as the second pick, 8 if he is third, and so on. The player with the highest number of points will be the first overall pick. I included their total points, and the highest any mock draft had them going. Here are the results.

1) Miami Dolphins: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
Total points: 83
Highest predicted pick: 1st overall (Draft Ace, Huddle Geeks, Consensus Draft)

2) St. Louis Rams: Chris Long, DE, Virginia
Total points: 81
Highest predicted pick: 1st overall (Q.I. Sports, Great Blue North Draft Report)

3) Atlanta Falcons: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
Total points: 79
Highest predicted pick: 1st overall (Draft Tek, East Coast Sports, First Round Forecast)

4) Oakland Raiders: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
Total points: 70
Highest predicted pick: 3rd overall

5) Kansas City Chiefs: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
Total points: 65
Highest predicted pick: 1st overall (Football’s Future, The Huddle Report)

6) New York Jets: Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State
Total points: 38
Highest predicted pick: 5th overall

7) New England Patriots: Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
Total points: 37
Highest predicted pick: 4th overall

Baltimore Ravens: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
Total points: 20
Highest predicted pick: 3rd overall

9) Cincinnati Bengals: Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
Total points: 18
Highest predicted pick: 5th overall

10) New Orleans Saints: Mike Jenkins, CB, Troy
Total points: 15
Highest predicted pick: 7th overall

Apparently a day full of fantasy sports is not enough for me - I have to round off the day with a blog post. I spent today at the Fantasy Sports Trade Association conference representing both myself and Sports Data Hub, and my brain is already brimming with all sorts of fantasy sports info. Tomorrow’s schedule is even busier and I feel a little giddy over being able to spend an entire second day thinking/talking/breathing fantasy sports.

Soon my life will return to normalcy but until then, a few quick links:

• Rotoworld’s Only for the Addicts summary of the first experts mock draft of the year - full of all sorts of commentary.
• Over the course of the 2007 season, I e-mailed with several of you about the benefits of an IDP league (individual defensive players) rather than a D/ST. I enjoy both formats but do find IDP leagues rather refreshing. For details and tips on IDP leagues, check out Football Jabber’s Fantasy Football Tips: Individual Defensive Players.
• Take a look at Athlon Sports’ NFL Draft - Tight Ends for a breakdown of how the position has been drafted over the past five years and what you can expect from the 2008 NFL Draft.
• Also on Athlon/Grogan Sports, read up on why you should love Minnesota alum RBs Marion Barber and Laurence Maroney in Barber & Maroney: Top 10 Backs in ‘08.

Okay, time to stop thinking about football and get some sleep for the night.
