Steve Slaton goes from 3rd round NFL pick to top 5 overall fantasy pick.
Pyro's Take:
We knew all along that too much stock was put in the NFL Combine, Slaton is a beast and will be receiving full time carries. Draft with confidence.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Jim Mora explained to reporters after Wednesday's practice that Edgerrin James would complement Julius Jones in the backfield, but that Julius would remain the "workhorse" back.
Pyro's Take:
Whatever role Edge ends up playing on this team, whether it's as a 3rd down back or involved as a full-out RBBC, Julius Jones' fantasy value just took a big hit. With T.J. Duckett in the mix, Jones would have been assured of around 20 carries a game. Now that Edge is around, that number is sure to decrease. James is only two years removed from a 1,200 yard, seven TD season. Our advice would be to handcuff these two together at all costs, or simply stay away from the Seattle situation altogether.

“Chris knows what he’s got to get better at. He’s worked hard in a lot of areas, and he’s improved in a lot of areas,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “But there are still some things that he has to make sure get done. He’s in competition with a guy (Andre Caldwell) who does some of those things very, very well. At the end of the day, I’ve got to count on who I can count on, and I think Chris understands those things.”
Pyro's Take:
Coach Marv is a silly little guy. Henry is not battling Andre Caldwell (yes, Reche's younger bro) for the third WR spot. That said, he will be battling two seasoned and still able vets in Coles and Ochocinco for targets, and while we think he will be more efficient than either player, we aren't sure he can muster enough looks (barring an injury to the aforementioned) to command a starting spot.
