I have Angerer as a 4th, nobody else I have seen has him above the 5th. Looking at the talent available at ILB in this draft (Spikes, McClain, Washington, Johnson, Lee all ahead of Angerer) I could put Angerer in the 5th without feeling like I was being to liberal with my player placement.

The reasons you gave are the exact reason I want him. Not exactly a need, but it is a good pickup.

Iowa has some good players that could be of value to us coming out this year. Angerer would definitely add some physicality to this team, guy is just a football player.

Just ask Bret Favre how he feels about Fumbling Bumbling RB's about now ..... since they just lost the NFC Championship game in OT. That fumble just before the half may have been charged to Farve because it occured on the handoff .... But that was on Peterson - and even a FG right there they are playin for all the marbles.

Favre did his part with the int.

3 fumbles for Peterson. 3 TD's over 100 yds rushing. Peterson giveth Peterson taketh away.

Peterson is a great talent but I hate fumblers.

I sure hope the Texans sign Taylor in FA. He's a solid vet that can do it all. He will be 30 yrs old but he doesn't have the milage on him most RB's his age have.

I think he could be productive for another 2-3 yrs.

I thought there should have been a roughing call on the INT ....

Sure AD had 100 yards and 3 TD's .... But three fumbles in 25 touches ? UGH. Thats totally unacceptable no matter who you are.
I think a lot of his problems stem from his running style - Most come after contact when he's attempting to gain the extra yard. Gerhart ... after contact.


I'd take Taylor in a heartbeat and use a draft pick on another position .... You sure he's a FA ?

[steelbtexan]

Yes Taylor is a FA.

I'm with you on Peterson. He's the kind of guy that gets you beat . Until he proves otherwise.

After looking at the game and Peterson's fumbles. I'd would think the Vikings will keep him one more year or he could retire possibly.

I'm pretty sure Taylor wont be retiring.

He's still a really good RB and will be looking for one more pay day.

With his ability - I think he may be looking at a bigger role and a nice payday .... He could get that here , and Slaton could do what he was drafted to do - 3rd down back.

I would hope Favre would not have too many unkind words unless it was a Michael Jackson moment. You know the "man in the mirror" thing.
