Marshall and Edwards have value if they fall far enough.
Matt Cassel will be a stud in this league. Like any QB he needs some protection although he is very mobile and will score some points with his feet. He knows how to find his receivers, a quality that surprisingly some NFL QBs do not have. He is accurate with his passes and he's got a pretty good stable of recievers in Bowe, Engram and Toomer with comers Bradley and Copper behind them.
If Thigpen could get 18 TDs I'd project 25 for Cassel. That doesn't put him in the top tier but I think he'll be a surprise top 10 QB.

Well if they drop they'll obviously have value. I'm just not comfortable drafting either one of them. Edwards had the most drops last year with 16, and just three td's. Maybe I'm just sore cuz I had him last year.
As for Cassel, I'm a big fan(pats fan)...however new system new receivers, no moss or welker, off-season pressure of being the man for the first time in his career. And name me one player that has left NE and had the same success. Bill knows how to utilize his players and put them into the right situations for success.
BTW Marshall with a suspension...like I said do not draft
I actually really like Braylon Edwards this year. Last year he had all the pressure on him to mimick 2007 totals. This year the expectations are low and Cleveland is going to be down in most games which means they will be throwing downfield. I think you can get some good value with Edwards if he drops to you, and I see no reason why he can't become a top 10 WR once again.
I ended up taking Steve Smith (Carolina) on name recognition as our online draft (on Foxsports) was kind of rushed and got caught not ready in the 3rd round with my receiver selections .... could have had Jennings or Colston instead and screwed that one up I think .... anyone else have thoughts on Steve Smith??
Had my first draft tonight. Its the weakest league I'll be in I think. 6 point td league
QB Brees
WR Colston
WR Jennings
RB S Jackson
RB Mcfadden
W/R B Edwards
TE Winslow
K Elam
Def Miami
B E Royal
B Ginn
B L Johnson
B J Charles
B Sproles
B E Manning
Edwards dropped far enough where I had to take him. Had one big mistake where i got caught looking for T jones and ended up with Winslow but I expect to do well in this league.
If there are any leagues with spots open left let me know.
