The Five Minute Drill
Episode “Fantasy Football mock 2008 draft”

Cecil Lammey: It’s our final episode of the 2007 season, which means it is time to look forward to 2008.
Sigmund Bloom: Our mock first round is full of surprises and we’ll give you plenty to chew on during the off-season.
Cecil Lammey: You know the drill.
Announcer: It is time for fantasy footballs 5 minute drill quarterback by Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom.
Sigmund Bloom: The first overall draft pick of next year might seem like something to agonize over but the answer is easy same as it ever was, Ladaniel Tomlinson. He is truly a player were the number one draft pick because of his consistency, finishing in the top three for the last six years and durability missing only one game in his entire career. The only choice and number one is LT.
Cecil Lammey: Don’t be a hater just because Brian Westbrook laid down on the 1 yard line you have to consider taking him at the top of your fantasy draft. He is a great runner, a great receiver, and don’t worry about those injury concerns he is a gamer. Whether nine Donovan Mcnabb comes back for 2008 it does not matter, this offense runs through Brian Westbrook.
Sigmund Bloom: Three is the magic number in 2008 because if you’re picking third you’re guaranteed an uber stud in a running back. Now like me the owners in number one and number two will make your choice for you and I would get Adrian Peterson. Next year Adrian Peterson might be number one until he gets through a full season without injury he probably falls to number three.
Cecil Lammey: After the big three question are bound at fantasy running back, look at last year’s draft in the number 4 spot you would have taken Reggie Bush, Frank Gore, or Sean Alexander. But did not turn out very well for those guys now did it? There’s too much inconsistency and turn over in the top 10 at fantasy running back each year, that is why we say go with Tom Brady. Yeah, he may not throw 50 touchdowns in 2008 when he is good for 35 and 4000 yards they will carry your fantasy team each week.
Sigmund Bloom: I like my Crow deep fried with hushpuppies on the side please. Yes we were wrong about Joseph Addai; he has taken his rightful place among the top five players of all of fantasy football. We knew he was going to get touchdowns, but what we did not know that he was going to run tough and truly be a feature back in this league. Joseph Addai has gotten a lot of teams to the playoffs and it will happen again in 2008.
Cecil Lammey: This off-season the Rams will have plenty of time to address their needs of their offensive line. Steven Jackson has proven that when healthy he is an elite back in the NFL. You may not get 90 receptions every year but he is good for 50 and oh yeah every carry when he is able to suit up. The only back that breaks long runs more consistently Adrian Peterson and since he is going to go with Jackson.

Sigmund Bloom: No matter where you take Larry Johnson next year are going to get him at a value, I got him at number seven because players are only going to remember his end of season injury and not that he returned to stud status as soon as he got to the soft underbelly of his schedule. In the last three weeks of Larry Johnson’s season only Adrian Peterson outscored him so he is a value in the second half of first rounds.
Cecil Lammey: Fast Willie Parker has proven that he can lead the NFL in rushing even when things don’t go his way, now the law of averages dictate that his rushing touchdowns and long runs will go up, and that is why I love Willie with the number eight pick.
Sigmund Bloom: Sometimes you just have to ignore the situation and take the talent, and that is why I am taking Frank Gore at number nine. Frank Gore has overcome one of the worst passing games in the history of the NFL to be a solid running back in. Although it takes is a little improvement and he will be back to his top five status of 2006.
Cecil Lammey: Assuming that the Pats reup Randy Moss you have to consider him with a first round pick. He is having a record breaking season in O7 and he is the type of player that defenses cannot figure out. You double team him and he still makes the catch, and you certainly are not going to single cover him, and that is why they call him the freak.
Sigmund Bloom: A factor that I can get Clinton Portis a perennial top 10 running back at number 11 shows you just how deep running back is going to be next year. Clinton Portis dispelled two myths in 2007 one that he is not durable, and two that Liddell Bits was going to cut into his production. If you can get Clinton Portis at the end of your round in 2008 consider yourself lucky.
Cecil Lammey: With the final pick in the first round I have to take my boy Lendell White… Marshon Lynch, the bills are set at quarterback with Trent Edwards and Lee Evans will help keep the defenses honest.
So Diana how do you think we did it?
Diana: Well you know I love you dorks but a quarterback should never go in the top five and only a idiot would take anyone but Adrian Peterson number one, and where the hell is Willis Mcgahey? Oh and the Lendell White joke that did not work at all…
