Notes and our thoughts on who might "help" your team in 2004.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Eli Manning - With Collins already gone, I think
Manning will be pushed along TOO fast. He might
have some good value late in the season, but
should be a good QB by the mid to late 2005 season.

Philip Rivers - If Drew and Flutie are still there, Rivers
will learn on the bench for most of the 2004 season. But
he has a very good upside for 2005.

Ben Roethlisberger - Going to a great situation. The Steelers
know how to draft receivers, and he'll get some good "bench"
time learning this season. The team should be all his
in 2005.

J.P. Losman - No impact until 2005 at the earliest.

RB
------------------
Steven Jackson - Dallas should have taken him, and you could
have put him in your starting lineup this season ! He's going
to see only sporadic time on the field if Faulk is healthy.

Chris Perry - Won't play much if Rudi is for real.

Kevin Jones  - Should be the starter by week 2 or 3 this season.

Tatum Bell - Hmmm, Broncos RB. Okay, an easy 1,000 yard rusher
this season !

Julius Jones - Should replace Hambrick by mid-season.


WR / TE
-----------------
Larry Fitzgerald - I think Arizona should have traded down for
more picks, they need much more than a stud WR. Fitz should start
though, but about that Cardinal QB situation ....

Kellen Winslow Jr  - Can he reach Tony Gonzales status ? He sure
thinks he can...

Roy Williams - The Lions get another offensive stud. He and Kevin
Jones just might give Detroit a pretty good offense this season.

Reggie Williams -  Should be a starter early this season.

Lee Evans     - Should contribute by mid season

Michael Clayton - With "give-me-the-damn-ball" gone, Clayton
may have a starting job now.



PK
--------------
Nate Kaeding - Should start right away for the Bolts.
