DRAFT EDITION

Well ... this team is an enigma, It has decent talent although giving up almost 50 sacks last season. They could use a TE to not only out with the pass rush, but also to to pick up that rushing offense. The pack ranked near the bottom of the list on all statistical categories so look for em to draft defense and lots of it mainly at LB and DB.

When I look at this team I see aging superstars but good ones specially at linebacker. The "OLine" is good, but just have backups starting at the skill offensive positions. The team would have been in a good spot to draft one of the top offensive players in the draft at QB, RB or WR. To bad the picks are gone.

This team scares me. It look good on paper, but a team relying on this many vets to get em by should look good on paper. Last season they fielded a team with out a viable QB. They are looking for Chad Pennington to step it up. He defiantly going to have to be the man and turn that weakness into a strength. As far as WR's go, See the Quarter Back situation cause they go hand-in-hand. They don't have a 1st round pick but a 2nd and a quite a few late rounders.

The lowest payroll in the league is a plus. No player with "5" or more years in the league, well that's priceless :). If this team can somehow pull together, spend a little cash on a couple of vets (Stevie Beer-line) then hey, you may be able to "STEEL" a couple of wins. That DLine needs a little help, but who's doesn't. I look for them to maybe go after a Good Defensive Tackle with Miami's First, But hey, I've been wrong before. But I would definitely look at trying to get "Stevie Beer-Line"!

Young Gunz 4. This team has enough young talent as is. But at the same time you look at the roster as see names like Warren Sapp and Jim Flanigan, and Warren Sapp. I really like what previous management was tying to do with Da Bears and I see only good things coming from the Highly respected Joe Campanella. Those from the Original TLFL days know what I am talking bout. And he has THREE OF THE TOP TEN PICKS. Worse to first?

I really find it hard to understand why this team wasn't in the playoffs last season. Look at em they are stacked accept needing a DT and a good WR2. Besides that this team looks pretty good. They are getting a good pick and I'll tell ya what. A little scouting and fill those need an adding a little pie filling to the rest of the team and hey , you have a decent team with decent cap money. This is definitely one of my sleeper team for the 2001 season.

This is another team that held smartly held onto its first round pick. But are these the Jaguars or the SeaHawks for goodness sake. I don't know what went down, but Seattle had to get the best of it. This team is set with very good talent that will definitely take it a long ways. One of the youngest teams in the league as well as one of the most talented. Get a stud LB with that #1.

Well the Vols.. oops I mean the Cardinals are looking to make a comeback in 2001 led by many graduates from UT. I like the concept, but not the end result. They are undernew management. They don't own any of there original picks, but get a couple including a firs from the Giants. So at atleast they can look to bring in some new talent and dilute the Orange in the locker room. They have a long way to go, but a very good young Voldation, I mean foundation to take em.

By getting the Cowboys first round pick, they will have a chance at getting get a stud, and they really need a couple of em. Still I like what this team has done. I still look for them go with offense and maybe pickup a CB to help Hasty out.

A lot of slick management has helped this team get ready for the 2001 season. They own a coulp 3 or 4 I think 1st round picks and will use them to get a study RB. I would get a Linebacker and DB also to go with that RB. But they may fell that Autry can take em to where they want to be.

We all know that this this Redskins team sports some of the biggest names in our beloved sport. But name recognition doesn't always lead to victory. I was tempted not to rate this team cause I find it hard to be fair. I love these guys, even if they are old. They do have Denver's #1 and I don't know what they plan on taking. I woul definitely try to do every thing in my power to win now, AT ALL COST. Cause no one runs from father time.

OK ... here is a riddle. What costs 72 million and wins only 8 games. The answer is the Jacksonville Jaguars. I know that is not high by far but I just though it was a cool riddle. The team has its original #1 and Oakland's #1. I look for them to bolster that Dline. I think they are weak at safety with out "Double D" Darrius. Still a good team in a highly competitive conference. NO GUTS NO GLORY.

This team did not field on of your better squads. But still managed to get some wins last season. But guess what. THEY HAVE PICKS OUT THE WAZZU! With means that they will definitely be retooling. But are still a little ways off of being the Dominate Power they once was. Still, I have assembled a string of good pick and should be about to improve upon that 8-8 record.

Man ... I really thought this team was going to do it in the preseason. Even after they made some trades, I still though they are the favorite. But then Bennett's Boys got in gear and never let up. This team is good, better than most and I think you will see this next season. They don't have a first round pick, but that all dandy, as look as Warrick Dunn stays healthy.

Now this team did a great job of finishing where it did with what they have. The coach deserves a big round of applause!!! OK we really need to look at the defense with this team. It not all that bad, but are worse than last season with the age factor kicking in. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of picks available for the Chargers so look for a lot of trade and free agent action coming from this absolutely beautiful city.

Not much to say about the silver and black besides fill the holes. The team is solid enough eventhough I see a real need for a Safety that can deliver every down of a game. They are committed to winning and that excellence crap, but besides that Al Davis and his crew have a very good foundation with a good mixture of youth and maturity that should help this team to improve next season. They do have Tampa's #1 and should take a solid Safety or LB with that pick.

This is a strong team with a slightly average OLine. They have all the skill position wrapped up, except receiver where they could uses a big time talent. There defense is good enough to matchup with most of the offenses in the TLFL. Specially at Corner that trio they have is awesome to say to least. They have just a few picks including there #1 so look for them to go with the best available talent at WR or OL.

I am hearing good things from the Norse Gods in Minnesota. This team has a good strong foundation at every position, but they could use one player at DLine, Linebacker and Safety. They have plenty of picks and should get some starters to fill in. Look for them to draft Defense and then go after more Defense. Looks like they found a good understudy for Chris Carter in Yatil Green.

The Titans think that they have tooled for the draft by making sure that they keep a nice balance of youth and experience on their roster. They traded away all but one pick in the 5th round getting good young talent. Although I would not advise this strategy, it looks it will work for them for this season. Coaching is definitely the biggest weakness for the Titans.

How stacked was this team on defense when you can trade away a freak of nature like Jason Taylor and still be in good shape on the DLine. This team can force its will upon anyone on "Any Given Sunday". I like Lamar Smith at running back, but not the guys backing em up. I also believe they could use a top caliber safety to go with S Brian Dawkins. They pretty much own the Detroit Draft so look for them to get a decent talent at Safety and then follow with a RB.

Now, you wana talk about going for it, this team did. Not a single pick (as of now) in the upcoming draft. Good thing is that they really don't need one. I would like to see them sign 1 or 2 free agents at Safety and maybe linebacker. This team is ready for the 2001 one season. And to see them on the field without the run-in-shoot, chuck-in-duck or what ever you wana call it, will be exciting to say the least.

"The Big Three" were something to behold as they totally took a very good defense in Tennessee and simply remade it to their liking by stomping them into the ground. But that has nothing to do with drafting. The Colts are looking good with some bigtime young talent on the roster. They are also coached by one of the best coaching I have ever run across in Chris Parker. I feel he will make some changes and make some trades, cause that what he does. He has all is picks and an extra one from Denver so look out, he a great planner when it comes to coaching so he will be prepared for the draft.

I will go on the record as saying that this is about as good as it gets, talent wise on paper, in the TLFL. The 2001 championship _should_ run through Buffalo. Good trades, and great management has allow this team to be where it is. Every team has a weakness and I think they could perform a little better at special teams play. They also need a starting center as I don't like Centers with strengths in the 80s. It will be interesting to see what they take with their #1 pick.

Let me remind you that no one will get a perfect rating by me. I'm in Vegas and I know there is no such thing as a perfect. Hell they had a perfect regular season and didn't end with the Trophy! I like this team and it has one very good coach that knows how to work the angles. Honestly with the young talent he has, he probably only needs one or two backups maybe a TE and one more DT and DE and that's it.

Don't cha just love the name "Great Dayne"? If not ya should cause he was one of the best rookies last season. The Giants have plenty of talent, but need a little help specially at Offensive Tackle and maybe one superstar at Defensive Tackle. Besides that, this team is ready to start kicking ass and taking some more names this season. They are not picking right now, so look for some trades or something to find a good solid Tackle on both sides of the line.

Now, I don't know about you, but I though this squad was going to win it all. They actually scored like 60 point in a playoff game. Not easily said than done. They are lead But not only Ray Lewis but a good coach. He probably don't think he has any weakness, butI feel he should look at what his Dline is going to give em over the next couple of seasons and he could use a Safety. Besides that, take the Ravens and any point spread some fool will give you. They have a couple of picks and should be able to pickup some decent 3rd and 4th stringers, cause they are going to need em later on.

This team has a lot of versatility but we all know its about one man, the Man-O-Steel Terrell Davis. They will get something good with that Washington Pick. I would go Linebacker, but who in the hell am I right? I like this team, and I picked a tossup with them and the rams on winning that title.

Once again, no team will get a perfect evaluation from me. But I will tell you this, If there no more drafts for the next 3 season, this team would still be stacked. He has starters, he has backups, he has good coaching, and he has the Landry Bowl Championship. What else can I say. Good job on one hell of a season.
