For one it is very convenient. Football jerseys come in different colors and designs. There are so many things that separate one shirt from another. Searching for the right shirt requires a little help. With a search engine, that is easy. Wh Adidas launched the world's first pair of seamless running shoes. Once you arrived the top of mountain, you would see the mountains are little. The phrase of classic statement from the poem Du Fu has become the motto of many Donkey Friends.

Whenevaluating the NFL players, this article assumed a standard league scoringconfiguration.  The configuration assumesa starting roster of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 D/ST.  Points are awarded for the following actions:Passing: 1 point for every 25 yards, 4 points foreach Touchdown, and -2 for each Interception Rushing: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points foreach Touchdown, and -2 for each fumble lostReceiving: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points foreach TouchdownKicking: 3 points for every Field Goal made and 1point for each successful Extra PointDefense: 2 points for every fumble covered, 2points for every interception, 1 point for every sack, 2 points for eachshutout and 2 points for each safety        ROUND 1     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 1 4 RB Adrian Peterson MIN The only conceivable knock is that he does not get in the end zone enough (10 TDs last year). That will change this year. 2 52 RB Michael Turner ATL 2008 proved that Atlanta knew what they were doing when they made Burner their feature back. 3 50 RB Matt Forte CHI Carried the Bears last season. He will not need to do that in 2009, but will it hurt his fantasy stats? 4 18 RB Maurice Jones-Drew JACK No worries about sharing carries in 2009, let's hope he can handle the workload. 5 83 RB DeAngelo Williams CAR One of the most amazing second half performances ever. Anything close to his 2008 numbers would make owners happy. 6 3 RB Brian Westbrook PHI Oh so good when playing, but the ankle injury is still present. Be sure to check his health status before your draft and grab LeSean McCoy as your backup! 7 1 RB LaDainian Tomlinson SD LT hit age 30. Are his best days behind him? I wouldn't count him out quite yet. 8 33 RB Brandon Jacobs NYG Big year in 2008, even with Derrick Ward getting a good slice of the work. Should easily repeat last year's numbers. 9 22 WR Larry Fitzgerald ARI It is hard to pick a WR in the first round, but Fitz seems to actually get better every game. 10 8 RB Frank Gore SF 2008 was disappointing, but he is capable of reproducing his 2006 numbers. 11 2 RB Steven Jackson STL The only offense on a really, really bad team. If Bulger can stay healthy, S-Jax puts up Top-5 numbers. 12 85 RB Chris Johnson TENN Johnson made owners extremely happy last season. He should see more action in 2009 and repeat his success with ease.                   ROUND 2     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 13 7 RB Clinton Portis WASH As long as he doesn't pout, Portis is rock solid game in and game out. 14 172 RB Steve Slaton HOU Like Johnson, Slaton caught everyone by surprise in 2009. He is The Man on a very good offense. 15 9 RB Marion Barber III DAL Not sure how long he can continue his Earl Campbell-like rushing mannerisms, but I'd welcome MB3 on my team any day. 16 12 WR Randy Moss NE Moss showed a bit of character by not folding up his tent after Brady went down last year. 17 35 WR Andre Johnson HOU Johnson finally started getting his due last year. He is definitely one of the best WRs in the game. 18 17 WR Reggie Wayne IND Yards were there in 2008, but the TDs weren't. I say they are back in 2009. 19 29 WR Steve Smith CAR Lots of yards, even after sitting out 2 games last year. With Williams and Stewart getting the goal line TDs, how many are left? 20 63 WR Greg Jennings GB 1300 yards and 9 TDs last year. Brett who? 21 65 WR Roddy White ATL White took Matt Ryan's first pass last year and never looked back. Will his contract demands short-circuit a solid follow-up year?  Check his status before your draft. 22 79 WR Calvin Johnson DET Monster numbers last year show that he is for real. Too bad he has to break in a rookie QB. 23 40 WR Anquan Boldin ARI Sounds like Anquan is ready to play for a record-breaking contract…when he is finally a free agent. 24 49 RB Ronnie Brown MIA Returned from a nasty knee injury to introduce the Wildcat to the NFL. Should see the majority of the carries again this year.                   ROUND 3     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 25 16 WR Terrell Owens BUF TO's reality show will probably be his main focus this year. 26 NA RB Pierre Thomas NO Thomas looks comfortable as The Man in the NFL's best offense. 27 15 RB Ryan Grant GB Grant didn't see paydirt too many times last year, but let's attribute that to a sophomore slump. 28 28 QB Drew Brees NO WOW, what a monster year 2008 was for Brees. If his offense stays healthy this year, records will fall. 29 30 WR Marques Colston NO Tough year for Colston with injuries. Should he stay healthy, his numbers will return. 30 47 WR Brandon Marshall DEN Marshall has established himself amongst the elite WRs by putting up big numbers and then demanding a trade and a raise. 31 153 QB Kurt Warner AZ What a year for Warner! What are the odds that he can play a full season again?   His numbers are too good to worry about it, but get a proven starter as your backup. 32 5 QB Tom Brady NE The Pats are rolling the dice that his knee is 100%. He is a steal here if he does stay healthy. 33 24 WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh SEA Different location, but same QB situation. At least he is closer to home in case his season ends early as always. 34 135 RB Kevin Smith DET Who saw 1250 combined yards and 8 TDs coming from this rookie last year? Can he do it again? I am not brave enough to say he can't. 35 60 WR Dwayne Bowe KC Let's see what Bowe can do with an established QB. Could be in for a monster year. 36 45 WR Wes Welker NE King of the PPR leagues. Bigger numbers definitely depend on Brady.                   ROUND 4     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 37 NA RB Chris Wells AZ Signed and then promptly hurt his ankle. If the injury does not linger, he is in line for a big rookie season. 38 139 QB Aaron Rodgers GB Quieted critics and Favre-lovers last year with a 4000-yard, 28-TD season. 39 11 QB Peyton Manning IND No longer considered a top 15 pick, but will always put up top 5 QB numbers. 40 84 WR Vincent Jackson SD With SD allowing Rivers to throw the ball much more, Jackson finally showed that he can produce big numbers. 41 NA RB Cedric Benson CIN I am still shocked that he was able to resurrect his career so easily after being left for dead. Could have a sneaky good year if Palmer gets the offense moving. 42 99 QB Philip Rivers SD Big numbers didn't translate into early wins last year, but they will come this year…as will another 4000+ passing yards and 30+ TDs. 43 27 QB Tony Romo DAL Can Romo handle the limelight and mediocre receivers and thrive? I think he is good enough…and Jason Witten certainly helps. 44 177 RB Ray Rice BAL Was part of the Ravens 3-headed rushing monster in 2008. Ray will be given the shot to be The Man this year. 45 23 RB Willie Parker PITT Injuries are forcing Fast Willie into the carpool lane and will reduce his carries per game. 46 21 RB Reggie Bush NO Seemingly fully transitioned into a Darren Sproles role. Time for him to accept it and make it work for him. 47 61 QB Donovan McNabb PHI Philly added extra youth on offense to give McNabb a few more weapons. A healthy Kevin Curtis doesn't hurt either. 48 6 RB Joseph Addai IND Last season's biggest flop. It got him a running mate too. No one has more to prove this year.                   ROUND 5     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 49 NA WR Antonio Bryant TB Bryant had a breakout year in 2008. Now, he has to gel with a new QB or two. Hey, he thrived with Jeff Garcia! 50 54 TE Jason Witten DAL Romo's favorite target and the best pass-catching tight end in the game. 51 37 WR Roy Williams DAL Williams assumes the number 1 receiver position for the league's highest profile offense. 52 48 TE Antonio Gates SD 700 yards and 8 TDs while injured all of 2008. He is healthy now, so look for 1000+ yards and 10+ TDs this year. 53 19 WR Braylon Edwards CLE The most disappointing receiver in 2008. One could blame the QBs, but his drops were well-documented. He needs some stick 'um to regain his coach's and QB's confidence. 54 43 WR Santonio Holmes PITT Living large off that Super Bowl catch. Just leave the weed alone, Holmes! 55 80 WR Santana Moss WASH Frightfully inconsistent. Can have huge games or zeroes. Best in Total Points leagues. 56 57 WR Lee Evans BUF Evans always sync'd with Losman a bit more, but could have a big year getting single coverage with TO on the other side of the field. 57 38 RB Darren McFadden OAK This guy is just too good to have to share carries with 2-3 other backs….but he does play for the Raiders. 58 66 TE Dallas Clark IND Runs the midfield Up pattern better than most WRs. 59 77 RB Thomas Jones NYJ Trying to get one last big payday as he knows the downward spiral of his career is about to begin. 60 69 WR Hines Ward PITT Losing Looks to the youngsters. Still a good number 2 WR.                   ROUND 6     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 61 51 RB Jonathan Stewart CAR Greatly overshadowed by DeAngelo Williams in the last half of 2008, but don't overlook his 850 yards and 10 TDs in his rookie campaign. 62 104 WR Anthony Gonzalez IND Unquestionably the number 2 receiver for Indy's offense. 63 72 WR Bernard Berrian MINN He has to hope that Rosenfels can run the offense to get anywhere close to respectable numbers on this running team. 64 NA WR Donnie Avery STL Avery put some good games together last year and could be a surprise with a healthy Bulger and his position as number 1 receiver. 65 73 WR Laveranues Coles CIN Coles will have to battle with The Mouth in Cincy, but if he can get in tune with Palmer, he could easily replace T.J. Housh. 66 81 WR Jerrico Cotchery NYJ Cotchery finds himself in the number 1 receiver spot and is hoping Sanchez steps into the role of starting QB with few hitches. 67 13 RB Larry Johnson KC Perpetually unhappy. Perpetually on a bad team. Facing the challenge of youth in Jamaal Charles. LJ needs to produce to help get his desire to play elsewhere. 68 NA WR Eddie Royal DEN Royal had a fantastic year for a rookie QB. Lots of question marks in 2009 with a new offense. However, thanks to Brandon Marshall's immaturity, he has had a chance to bond with QB Orton. 69 NA WR Kevin Walter HOU 900 yards and 8 TD helped Walter make a statement as an every week starter. Should see similar numbers this year. 70 36 WR Chad Johnson CIN Promotes himself so much that even he is distracted by it. I refuse to call him by his changed "name".  He could be a steal this far down though. 71 146 QB Matt Schaub HOU Huge expectations coming into 2009. He must stay healthy to meet and exceed them. 72 32 QB Carson Palmer CIN Palmer is poised to return to his 2007 level of 4000+ yards and 25+ TDs.                   ROUND 7     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 73 NA WR Lance Moore NO 900 Yards and 10 TDs usually gets you ranked higher, but he does have a bit of a shoulder injury. 74 NA WR DeSean Jackson PHIL Good numbers, but rarely found the end zone in 2008. Maybe if he were to take the ball ACROSS the goal line, his numbers would be better. 75 10 RB Marshawn Lynch BUF You won't get anything out of Lynch during his 3-game suspension, but he'll return on a mission. 76 156 RB Derrick Ward TB Ward had great numbers in a part-time role in NY. Jacobs monopolized the goal line carries though. Ward doesn't have to worry about that any longer. 77 NA WR Steve Breaston AZ Great yardage numbers last season, but low TD numbers. With Boldin more focused on his contract than playing, the TDs could increase. 78 68 RB LenDale White TENN Chris Johnson gets more carries, but White gets them where they count, as his 15 2008 TDs testifies. 79 34 RB Jamal Lewis CLE Juuuuuuust broke the 1000-yard barrier in 2008, but barely broke the goal line plane. 80 NA RB Donald Brown IND Brown was definitely drafted to split time with Addai this year. He had monstrous college numbers so the talent is there if the carries are. 81 75 TE Chris Cooley WASH Quietly consistent and always a safe tight end choice. 82 59 TE Tony Gonzalez ATL Tony G should see very nice numbers once again in Atlanta's offense, especially if White's holdout lasts awhile. 83 46 QB Ben Roethlisberger PITT How much will the Super Bowl hangover and off-field distractions hurt Big Ben's production this year?  Not much with the quality of players at skill positions that the Steelers have. 84 NA RB Fred Jackson BUF Fred gets the role of Main Man for the first 3 games and then, most likely, slides back to a platoon role.                   ROUND 8     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 85 136 RB Felix Jones DAL Felix was as good as advertised until getting hurt last year. The Cowboys are unsure of where and how much to use him this year. 86 124 TE Greg Olsen CHI With Cutler running the show and Desmond Clark slowing down, expect a big year from Olsen. 87 155 RB Darren Sproles SD Sproles definitely left an impression in 2008. He will get more carries and catches to justify that big raise this year. 88 NA RB Correll Buckhalter DEN Denver's backfield has been a coin flip for years and this year is no different. Buckhalter always played well in Westbrook's absence, so he has the skills. If Moreno continues to hold-out, CB could be in for a big year. 89 NA RB Knowshon Moreno DEN For some reason Moreno thinks he is in the catbird seat and wants big money, but Denver has 3 other capable running backs and does not feel compelled to give in. 90 55 RB Julius Jones SEA Jones could have a sneaky good year of Hasselbeck gets the passing game going again….and he gets a few goal-line caries. 91 183 QB Matt Ryan ATL Ryan defied convention and had a remarkable season as a rookie QB. He has a new weapon with Tony G, but a greedy wideout in White to contend with this year. 92 NA RB Jamaal Charles KC With KC going nowhere fast, they should be amped to see if Charles is their long-term answer at RB. 93 88 QB Jay Cutler CHI HUGE expectations for Cutler with little talent to throw to. The Bears have never been known as a passing team, so he should measure his success on guiding the team to Wins. 94 148 WR Ted Ginn Jr MIA Ginn would make a team with a real QB very happy. 95 NA WR Devin Hester CHI Can Hester really be a number 1 receiver? The Bears are determined to find out this year.  96 31 WR Torry Holt JACK Holt goes from an offense where he wasn't sure if his QB will stay healthy each year to an offense where he is not sure who the QB will be.  If his tank is full, he could be a huge steal this late.                   ROUND 9     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 97 NA TE Dustin Keller NYJ Found great success catching passes from Favre last year. That experience should help him achieve those numbers again this year with Sanchez. 98 NA WR Michael Crabtree SF Foot injury and contract holdout. Yeah, way to get on Coach Singletary's good side! 99 122 DEF Pittsburgh Steelers PITT This version of the Steel Curtain is as nasty as it gets nowadays. 100 145 RB Leon Washington NYJ Caught between outplaying his current contract and asking for too much money. He has little leverage and could really see him numbers diminish even if he does sign. 101 126 RB Ahmad Bradshaw NYG "Lightning" should get 10-12 carries a game to keep opposing defenses off-balance this season. 102 127 TE Owen Daniels HOU Daniels saw his production slip with the emergence of Kevin Walter, but getting Schaub back under center helps his Looks. 103 NA RB Sammy Morris NE Morris did very well in 2008, but 2009 is a mystery due to a loaded backfield and the return of Brady. 104 NA QB Matt Cassel KC Cassel goes from the best franchise to one of the worst, but carries lots of bags with dollar signs on them. If he succeed outside of the Patriots' system, his numbers will be similar to last year and will make his owners very happy. 105 92 WR Donald Driver GB Driver was written off before last year, but he still broke 1000 yards. You could do worse with your number 3 receiver. 106 NA RB LeSean McCoy PHIL McCoy could be in for a huge year if Westbrook's ankle is still banged up. 107 NA WR Percy Harvin MINN Harvin finally inked a deal and could be in line for a big year if Minny uses him as rumored. 108 64 WR Chris Chambers SD His numbers should improve as San Diego throws more and Jackson gets double-teamed.                   ROUND 10     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 109 178 DEF New York Giants NYG The Giants D was respectable in 2008 even after retirements and holdouts. They should be at full strength this year. 110 152 WR Mark Clayton BAL Clayton had flashes of brilliance in 2008. He could step up this year and officially put Mason into retirement. 111 58 TE Kellen Winslow II TB Going to Tampa should get him plenty of Looks, no matter who the QB is. 112 125 TE Tony Sheffler DEN Orton seemed to find his tight ends quite a bit in Chicago, so Sheffler should not suffer a helluva lot with Cutler out of town. 113 141 WR Isaac Bruce SF No one expected over 800 yards and 7 TDs last year. He could repeat those numbers this year. 114 NA DEF Tennessee Titans TENN Losing Haynesworth hurts, but still a top tier defense. 115 90 DEF Minnesota Vikings MINN The Vikings' D seems to have a nose for the end zone…and for keeping the Williams boyz on the field. 116 NA WR Hakeem Nicks NYG The rookie is poised to be the Giants' number 1 receiver. Big expectations for a rookie in a big town. 117 110 QB Eli Manning NYG The most overrated QB in the game. 118 12 RB Willis McGahee BAL Injuries and followed by a RB-by-committee curtailed his 2008 campaign. He looks to be behind Rice on the depth chart to start 2009. 119 67 RB Rashard Mendenhall PITT Huge expectations went gravely unmet in 2008. Coming back off a knee injury greatly lowers them this year. He will definitely be a part-time back all year. 120 93 WR Patrick Crayton DAL If Roy Williams does not step up this year, Crayton is in line to pick up the slack.                   ROUND 11     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 121 116 WR Justin Gage TENN Gage shows flashes of symmetry with Kerry Collins, but this IS a running team. 122 NA RB Ricky Williams MIA Ricky is an active part of the Dolphin offense as a complimentary back. 123 NA RB Tim Hightower AZ Hightower is not "the" running back of the future for the Cardinals, but will get the ball around the goal line and will see more action if Wells' ankle injury lingers. 124 NA WR Michael Jenkins ATL Jenkins looked good as the number 2 receiver in 2008 and is poised for a huge year if White has a prolonged holdout. 125 NA RB Darrius Heyward-Bey OAK The pressure of performing on the Raider offense is nothing like trying to live up to his inflated draft pick. 126 NA WR Mark Bradley KC Bradley had some good games last year and his numbers should be much better this year with Cassel under center and Bowe getting the attention of the secondary. 127 159 DEF Baltimore Ravens BAL Baltimore's D regained their swagger last year. Defections and injuries should quell that momentum. 128 160 DEF Dallas Cowboys DAL Dallas has hit the draft and free agent market repeatedly in hopes of improving their defense. If the pieces fit this year, they should see their long sought-after results. 129 147 RB Jerious Norwood ATL Michael Turner cannot continually handle the carries they gave him last year, so Norwood should see a solid 10 per game. 130 91 WR Kevin Curtis PHIL A hernia sidelined him for 2008, but he is healthy and ready to jibe with McNabb again. 131 123 RB Justin Fargas OAK Fargas has shown number 1 RB talent, but he will only get part-time carries with McFadden healthy. 132 NA QB Kyle Orton DEN Orton upgrades his receiving core immensely. As long as his shackles did not travel to Denver with him, he is poised for a good Sleeper season.                   ROUND 12     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 133 NA QB Trent Edwards BUF The team is his now and he has two solid receivers. Boon or bust time. 134 173 TE Zach Miller OAK Every running QB needs a good TE safety valve, especially when the receiving options are limited. 135 NA WR Domenick Hixon NYG Hixon is speedy and will compete with Nicks for Manning's love. 136 NA TE John Carlson SEA Carlson had a productive 2008. Will he get the same opportunities in 2009?  I think he earned the team's trust to be an integral part of their passing game. 137 NA WR Josh Morgan SF Morgan is a definite Sleeper. Bruce is getting old and the offense is getting better. 138 154 WR Derrick Mason BAL His retirement threat will not endear him to the team and one will have to question his focus this year. 139 71 QB Matt Hasselbeck SEA Injuries killed Hasselbeck's 2008. He returns under a new coach and a wealth of receivers. 140 NA QB Chad Pennington MIA Pennington had a surprisingly good 2008 with over 3500 yards and 19 TDs. 141 NA QB Brady Quinn CLE It appears that Quinn will be given the reins. He showed skills in his limited 2008 season, so he could be a sneaky pick this late in the game as your backup QB. 142 NA WR Earl Bennett CHI Lots of hype with former college signal-caller Cutler coming to town. Was not given a chance in 2008, so is he ready to step up this year? 143 56 RB Fred Taylor NE Fred gets a shot at his Super Bowl, but don't expect great numbers to come with it. 144 25 RB Earnest Graham TB Returning from an injury-filled season to welcome a new running mate. The division of carries will be interesting to watch.                   ROUND 13     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 145 107 QB Jake Delhomme CAR Don't expect big numbers unless the Panthers are behind. 146 130 QB David Garrard JACK Garrard regressed last year and has a questionable receiving core this year. 147 94 TE Vernon Davis SF Davis straightened up and started producing at the end of 2008. Could be in line for a big year. 148 187 QB Joe Flacco BAL Flacco was unflappable last year. The Ravens are still a running team, but you could do worse for your backup QB. 149 WR WR Mike Walker JACK Walker could surprise this year, especially if Holt has truly lost a step or two. 150 87 WR Javon Walker OAK Javon thanked Oakland in 2008 for his huge contract by getting hurt and doing nothing. He made right so far by taking much less cash and vowing to put up his expected numbers. We'll see. 151 NA DEF Miami Dolphins DEF Never dismiss a Parcell's defense. 152 NA DEF Philadelphia Eagles PHIL Losing DC Jim Johnson and leader Brian Dawkins will hurt this year, but still a top-10 defense. 153 74 TE Jeremy Shockey NO Shockey was a flop in 2008. Drew prefers the vertical game, so don't expect big numbers this year either. 154 113 TE Heath Miller PITT Not many yards, but should get plenty of Red Zone opportunities. 155 NA WR Johnnie Lee Higgins NYJ Should Crabtree continue to holdout for ridiculous money or have his foot continue to bother him, who's to say that Higgins can't fill the role of burner and be a late-draft steal? 156 128 TE Kevin Boss NYG Did not meet 2008 expectations, but with the youth at wideout, he should this year.                   ROUND 14     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 157 181 DEF Washington Redskins WASH Haynesworth immediately upgrades the defense. 158 NA DEF New York Jets NYJ Some new faces greatly upgrade the defense….hopefully the offense keeps them off the field a bit. 159 NA DEF Houston HOU Mario Williams anchors an underrated unit. 160 76 RB Chester Taylor MINN A MUST handcuff to Adrian Peterson. Puts up solid numbers even when sharing the backfield. 161 140 K Steve Gostkowski NE May lose points as the offense returns to scoring TDs instead of field goals with greater frequency. 162 154 K Rob Bironas TENN Another rock solid year for Bironas can be expected. 163 NA RB T.J. Duckett SEA Not many yards, but 8 TDs is nothing to sneeze at! 164 NA WR Brian Robiskie CLE Appears to be set to win the number 2 receiver position in Cleveland…for what that's worth. 165 NA WR Nate Washington TENN Has the speed to outrun Kerry Collins. Should the Titans decide to get vertical, Washington may put up some long TDs. I'd be skeptical about using him in a PPR league though. 166 161 K Kris Brown HOU Brown continues to flash his leg strength and improved accuracy. 167 109 DEF Chicago Bears CHI The defense continues to get older and is not the force it was a few years ago. 168 NA RB Jerome Harrison CLE Harrison shined in limited opportunities last year. Cleveland needs to find out if he can take over for Lewis.                   ROUND 15     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 169 106 DEF New England Patriots NE Their defense is constantly moving new faces in to replace old ones. Can it still be effective?  The Patriots offense should put the defense way in front again and allow them to ballhawk plenty of turnovers. 170 NA RB Shonn Greene NYJ Greene was a machine at Iowa and could see significant playing time with Jones and Washington crying about contracts. 171 NA DEF Oakland Raiders OAK This is one area that seems to be underrated in Oakland. If they just didn't need to play 45 minutes a game… 172 164 K David Akers PHIL Can still hit the bomb and gets plenty of opportunities. 173 NA TE Brandon Pettigrew DET With a new QB and Charles Johnson getting triple-covered, Pettigrew could be a nice Sleeper. 174 150 K Mason Crosby GB Crosby is definitely a young star in the kicking world. 175 165 K John Kasay CAR Still has the big leg. 176 NA K Jeff Reed PITT Reed is extremely accurate in one of the toughest stadiums to kick in. 177 121 K Nick Folk DAL 2008 was a down year, but can definitely put up a lot of points if Big D's offense is rolling. 178 26 RB Laurence Maroney NE The Patriots have lost confidence in Maroney. It is hard to see him doing much, but extra RBs on the bench is never a bad thing. 179 168 QB Matt Leinart AZ You absolutely have to handcuff him to Warner. 180 NA RB Mewelde Moore PITT Part of 3-headed monster in Pittsburgh, but had a great year in relief of injured RBs. Could see a repeat this year, at least with Parker.                   ROUND 16     2009 2008 Pos Player Team Comment 181 NA TE Brett Celek PHIL Celek turned in a few good games last year. With L.J. Smith gone, he has the role full-time. 182 NA WR Devery Henderson NO Henderson is a tough player to draft as you never know when he will go off. When he does, he can go for over 100 yards and a TD, but can just as easily get you a goose egg. 183 NA RB Glen Coffee SF The rookie is a must handcuff to Frank Gore. 184 NA K Ryan Longwell MINN Longwell keeps right on going. 185 NA K Sebastian Janikowski OAK Janikowski can certainly boom a 60-yarder, but it has always been the limited opportunities that kill his value. 186 NA TE Chase Coffman CIN The rookie was a pass catching machine in college and steps into the starting TE role with Cincy. Will Palmer look his way or not?  If he wants sure completions, he better! 187 96 DEF San Diego Chargers SD San Diego gets its linebacking core back and healthy. If a defense can be a Sleeper, SD looks to wear that moniker this year. 188 NA WR Nate Burleson SEA Burleson was poised for a big 2008 until he blew his knee out. Not a bad place to take a flier on him. 189 115 TE L.J. Smith BAL Smith was very reliable in Philly, when healthy. He was signed to replace the perpetually injured Heap. 190 175 K Jason Elam ATL Elam showed plenty of life left in his right leg for a better-than-expected Falcons offense. 191 162 K Robbie Gould CHI Gould is a good as you can expect along Lake Michigan. 192 NA WR Laurent Robinson STL If the Rams' passing game is successful, Avery won't be the only one catching balls.                               Notable Omissions     2009 2008 Pos Player   Comment NA 20 RB Rudi Johnson   Wow…booted out of Cincinnati and rode the pine in Detroit. What a tumble! NA 39 WR Plaxico Burress   Unable to pull an end around the legal system. Looking up at Lady Justice is a tough matchup. NA 41 WR Marvin Harrison   Many would prefer he leaves his legacy in Indy intact and does not catch on elsewhere. NA 42 RB Edgerrin James   At least he is fading away after playing in the Super Bowl. NA 111 QB Brett Favre   Was August 1 the day that the final nail went into his playing coffin?!!! NA 176 DEF Tampa Bay   The defense made a gallant last stand in 2008, but appears to be in transition for awhile.
