1) Rookie Cap
I don't know how it would work, but I definitely am in favour of it. Perhaps a system where the higher the player is picked in the first round affects value, and then after the first, maybe all others in a round are grouped by position or as a whole. To many unions to make this work too easily!
2) Training Camps Ahead - Key Battles
QB position battles always are focus areas. Look for the battle in Miami, Baltimore, Chicago and New York Jets to be very interesting. I am typing Chad Henne, Troy Smith and Grossman and Kellen Clemens in that battle. Three teams with interesting WR battles are Jacksonville, Giants and the New Orleans Saints. The Jags brought in Jerry Porter and Troy Williamson and have last year's rookie Mike Walker coming back from knee surgery. My tip is for former #1 pick and project WR Matt Jones to be cut. In New York, apart from Burress and Toomer, there are a host of youngsters - Steve Smith, Mario Manningham, DJ Hall as well as Superbowl hero David Tyree fighting for spots. And the addition of Adrian Arrington in New Orleans appears to be another 7th round gem for the Saints, with his introduction making life hard for Devery Henderson and Terrence Copper. The RB depth chart in Oakland also should provide some interesting matchups.
3) Season Preview 1 - Surprise Teams
Look for Buffalo to emerge this season as a genuine playoff contender. With Trent Edwards in his second season, and a couple of additions on defense, this team has a chance, especially in a relatively weak (besides the Pats) AFC east. Don't be surprised to see Detroit emerge this year in the NFC north either, with an improved OLine and some defensive changes.
