    From guest contributor The Commish:

    DARREN MCFADDEN-RB-OAKLAND RAIDERS

    Run DMC, he's tricky! This pick is actually the opposite of 
    tricky; it's really easy. McFadden is a Raider and fits in
    perfectly with the mystique of the franchise: flashy and soon
    to be mouthy. The team emphasizes the run and should find
    plenty of carries and touches to showcase Dmac's skills.
    McFadden may split carries with Huggy bear or at least until
    he breaks off a 90 yarder and Al Davis dusts his corpse off
    in the owners box and gets on the bat phone to Lane Kiffin,
    so look to him to produce asap. His hands will also be
    utilized and you may even see him put on his Devin Hester
    outfit on special teams. Bottom line, the #4 pick will get
    plenty of opportunity to shine like one so because of that
    he is the most coveted piece of franchise in the draft.

    JONATHAN STEWART-RB-CAROLINA PANTHERS


    Amazing what a few months can do in a kid's popularity. Injury
    kept him from beign a top 10 pick in the NFL rookie draft
    and most people either didn't know who he was or were scared away.
    Now, Stewart is projected to be a beast. The kid is a physical specimen
    with the measurables to hold up in the NFL. 4.4 speed, 235 lb
    frame to take a pounding, and 5'11 which is the
    prototypical height for backs in the NFL. Only concerns is
    that he goes to the Panthers who couldn't muster up much of
    a running game last season and is hoping Delhomme comes back
    healthy enough to move the ball again. Stewart will split
    time with DeAngelo Williams who ironically was getting the
    same words typed about him 4 years ago. In a keeper league
    though, rooks should reign supreme, so get your high rise
    duckies out and proceed with caution.
