  What players with ADPs in the 3rd round plus are bust candidats for you in 2013? Explain if you can, even if you just say "he will decline" or "he will get hurt" etc.

  Ridley in the 3rd and even more so in the 2nd rd... why? Vereen will make his presence felt. Could become a 50/50 timeshare.

  MJD, he is getting drafted around the late 3rd - 4th rounds even after his lisfranc injury. Can he even produce at the levels he used to anymore?

  Agreed, Im one of the suckers that have drafted him in the late 3rd thinking about his great upside for the next couple seasons as my RB2. The more I think about it the more I hate picking him.

  DMC- He seems to fit the mold of a bust each and every season due to his injuries. Why would this season be any different?

  Welker, I think he gets a few goose eggs this season.

  Cobb: Accoring to FFC he is being drafted @ 3.08 as the 9th WR off the board. That has him firmly in WR1 territory which is too high for me. Love the kids skill set but even with Jennings gone there are still a lot of other mouths to feed in GB (Nelson, Jones & Finley) & Rodgers doesn't seem to force the ball to anyone. Would anyone be shocked if Nelson out scored him next year? I wouldn't...

  Montee Ball, people will draft him being a hot rookie name and I don't expect him to do much at all.  I won't draft him.  Denver, Washington, and Houston are the only spots I would trust him and he won't start for any of those teams, nor most likely be the back up.  His speed drops too much when he cuts for the NFL imo.
  

  I don't trust Adam Schefter and neither should you!!!

  Forte: @ 2.07 (#12 RB) he worries me. While I like that the bears actually did something about their O-line this off season Trestman scares the crap out of me. Just look at his coaching career in his wiki: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Trestman#section_2 . Other than starting with RBs @ the Vikes, it's QB coach... Passing record, QBs coach... Personal passing record... QBs coach... Top 5 year in franchise history...
  I actually think he is a big bump for Cutler & a drop for Forte. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it but I just don't trust that he will perform at his drafted value...

  Morris @ 1.10 (RB #9): Two words... Mike Shanahan.

  Welker. His days of 100+ catches are behind him now, and if he's not going to catch that many passes you certainly aren't going to draft him for his td catching numbers.

  Decker:  I think he's the one to lose with Welker there, not DT

  
  

  Welker:  Manning and Brady are different qbs, and 3 solid wrs cut into action

  I don't like Ball's nfl prospects either.  big 10 backs don't translate into the nfl as a whole.  of the 32 nfl teams 1 might have a big 10 back as a starter.(mendenhall)  big 10 has slow stiff defenders which help these rb's look good in college.  big 10 teams have dominant o-lines which help make the running backs look better.  besides eddie george,shonn green and marion barber name a big 10 back in the last 15-20 years to make at least 2 pro bowls, or have 2 -1000 yard seasons.  i can't come up with one, maybe i'm missing somebody.  mike alstott as a fullback had better rushing numbers than most big 10 tailbacks.  i avoid them like the plague.
