I could see you even takin LT and hester with the handcuffs since LT is so nasty. Also the giants two back combo in the playoffs showed they are for real.

I want Barber in my competitive $$$ league, and I plan to handcuff Jones to him with my last pick if I get him.

I think Clinton Portis is going to be a interesting back this season. They said he's as healthy as he has ever been and now with Zorn's west coast offense it favors his type of running style not Joe Gibbs' pulling gaurds style. Plus I look for Portis to get a lot more balls thrown to him this season.

Also Parker and Mendenhall. If you get Parker you better draft Mendenhall. The Steelers drafted him for a reason, I think his touches will increase by the week.
