  Expect some hate mail for putting McCoy on that list but I agree with you.

  Damn you throw a dude who hasn't taken a snap in there Smitty, lol. Wait for the mad Monte Ball love affair to kick in... Totally agree with McCoy here, I'd even include Ray Rice, yep ya heard it here first! Pierce looked fierce (no pun) in the playoffs. I will disagree with Forte, I think this kid might have his best season yet.

  Nice list of bust candidates... Hate that Jacksonville is switching to the zone blocking... Like McFadden, Jones-Drew us best suited for the power run scheme. Everyone knows I'm not a Lacy fan as well.
  I think Jonson snaps out if his funk and realizes he needs to show some flash this year if he wants to continue getting paid and not cut next off season.

  No, if you get Brown it's secure. And like i say in the article, selling low isn't a good idea. Brown only owners are smart to trade him for a nice line up piece, say a WR3, or upgrade somewhere else, but Brown owners should trade him vs hoping gets eventual starts. He has tons of value for McCoy owners, not as much for non McCoy owners.

  Nice write up Smitty.  Once I got through the McCoy manifesto that is, lol.  I appreciate the heads up yesterday as it helped me prepare for this article.  >:)

  nice read....i can see mccoy as a "bust"  just because his ADP screams that he is your #1 rb...forte is seems to be falling in drafts a bit...late 2nd...in most cases he can be your #2 rb...thats nice value right there for a guy that on a down year is gonna give you solid #2 rb numbers but has the upside to give you #1...

  I too think Forte could have his best year yet.  He's talented and has produced the last 3 years with what I consider to be the worst 3 year stretch of offensive line play in NFL history.  

  
  

  Lovie's regime was holding him back.  I see him getting back to 20 carries and 5 catches a game solid, and the Bears addressing offensive line this offseason like it's a priority.  If that happens, dare I say Forte could be a top 5 scorer from the RB position next year.

  And that's why I like Forte, as mentioned... I think you will be right.

  Nobody really does a good job of defining a "bust." I say to set the over-under point total for the player, and a bust by definition is the under.

  Yeah, I agree, which is why we essentially did that, with a "line in the sand" value... So in Forte's example, the line is in that third round... great value there and once he crosses that third-round threshold, I say invest.
