I had no idea who John Brown was before we drafted him but I am a believer now. Yes, we have a had a few WRs before tear it up in preseason and then disappear but the Cardinals as a whole have always been good at identifying WRs. I think John Brown will be a stud if his small frame can endure the beating.

My NFL rookie though is Alfred Blue, the LSU running back with the Texans. I liked him before the draft and saw the guy play in person and he has 'it' to me and that 'it' is not moxie, but good vision and power. Like the Cardinals know WRs, the Texans know RBs and I am glad they agree with my opinion lol

I just don't get the Mike Sam "jokes." Seeing them on Facebook since he signed with the cowboys.

Utterly juvenile.

He's not really a sleeper/surprise, but I think Brandon Cooks is going to have a monster year with the Saints.

Blue was drafted in the sixth round, and nobody was mentioning him in their draft boards except me, at least around here... that is a surprise but not one either, we are both right lol

You want a real sleeper? Isaih Crowell, running back with the Browns. 5 star out of high school, stud at UGA as a true freshman, then fell off the planet. He's only 21, but fresh legs usually do well in the NFL.

I don't dislike Beanie as much as ya'll seem to. I think he could have been better than what we have if Whis hadn't destroyed him in preseason and brought him back too soon. Imagine a bruising healthy Beanie as ground and pound with Ellington as change of pace destroyer. Whis ruined Beanie in a meaningless preseason game.

The Cards are working on their version of the Seahawks' Jet sweep that literally discombobulated and destroyed the Packer defense. Of course John Brown reprises the Percy Harvin burner role. Very few teams on the Cards schedule has the speed to stop that play.

I wouldn't be surprised to see JB in the back field at times.

I like the picks of John Brown and Brandin Cooks, both are in a spot where they will be used right out of the gate. I will pick Will Sutton. Bears are weak on the D-line and he should get some time right out of the gate.

Wish I'd seen your post before, I just put in a claim on him in both my leagues we'll see if I get him.
