FFL Mock Draft 2008 - Frank Gore, Stephen Jackson, Brian Westbrook

Continuing my review of NFL.com's Fantasy Football Mock Draft...

#4 Frank Gore, RB, SF - Let me make this simple: No.  No, no, no.  The Niners signed RB DeShaun Foster to take the ball away from Gore.  A Gore-Foster committee should be a big improvement for the team, but a huge fantasy step back for Gore.  

#5 Stephen Jackson, RB, StL - I know people are looking at how an injured Jackson rolled up 1000 yards in only 12 games and think that a fully healthy Jackson would be a star.  What is missing from that view is that the Rams' offensive line absolutely stunk last season.  The free agent signing of G Jacob Bell will help, but the loss of WR Isaac Bruce won't.  I'm not sold on drafting Jackson this high.

#6 Brian Westbrook, RB, Phi - He's still a weekly injury risk, but the Eagles have learned how to use him (in games and in practice) to minimize the damage.  I would rank him ahead of Gore right now and possibly ahead of Jackson, Peterson or both.  In leagues that award points for receptions by running backs, he's a top three pick.

just wondering
i love football and fantasy fb,but Fantasy FB has no interest to me until august as fantasy bb could interest me the day after our season is done,why is that? i think because its just so easy to rank players in FanFBall,there's usually no auction,no suprise picks,you pretty much just go down the list on your cheat sheet,anyone else who plays Fantasy fb like it better than fantasy bb????

Gore at #4
The NFl sponsored this mock draft?  Are there any cobbler's sons without shoes?  An overweight diet expert?
