The Future of the Position.

This week the Brotherhood will be releasing our 1st LOOK at the 2010 dynasty rankings.  We know the season isn’t technically over, but we also know how important it is to stay ahead of the competition.  There is nothing wrong with starting your prep work a little early.

We’re going to kick off this week with the quarterbacks.  This is how I would rank and value these players if I had to select my keepers today.  These rankings will change throughout the off-season.  Some teams are going to improve through the draft and free agency and others are going to lose key players.  Philip Rivers is a good example of a player who could find himself losing several key members of the Chargers offense.  The San Diego front office has a lot of decisions to make this off-season.  Do they resign Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd and LaDainian Tomlinson?  If they don’t resign Jackson, I would probably drop Rivers down a couple of spots.  It’s moves like these that are going to play a major role in how these ranks fluctuate throughout the year.  It’s also worth noting that I left Brett Favre and Kurt Warner out of these rankings.  I feel both will probably retire at the end of the season.  Although, with Favre you just never know.

Brees Is The First QB To Go In Our Newest Mock Draft

In case you haven’t heard the NFL combine kicks off this week. All eyes will be tuned into the annual event that is quickly becoming must see t.v..  In fact the NFL has given out more than 620 media credentials and the NFL network has reportedly sent 21 employees to cover the event.  Wow!  That’s a lot of media personnel considering the players themselves won’t even be wearing pads.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of the combine and an even bigger fan of the NFL draft. I have watched every draft since I was 12 years old. I gush over forty times and love  sitting down with the other Brotherhood writers evaluating players and breaking down game film.  I know it does not matter what round these players get selected, the important part is where these players end up. A player with a specific skill set that fits the teams philosophy will have a major impact on an NFL team and most importantly the potential fantasy football impact.

NFL Mock Draft 3.0

Posted by Bill in Fantasy Advice on Feb 17th 2010 (Print This)

Still Number One?

This is our last mock draft until after the combine. There will be many players that will see their stock rise and fall based solely on their combine workouts.

The combine is a great opportunity to watch the prospects and everyone gets to see their measurables. Practice sessions are very important as well, but the most important part of the entire event is the team interview something that no one except the teams are privy to. This is where the mis-information starts. Teams will say they love players when they don’t,compliment skill sets that players lack.

The biggest knock on the combine is that a player’s production on the field often gets over looked in favor of a blazing forty yard dash or a high repetition count when bench pressing. The Brotherhood will keep you in the know as our coverage of the NFL draft rolls right into the combine.
