question about first and second year players

thanks again for those picks Joe...I was doing some research, and you're right on all of them. I didn't even think of Jeff Reed as a 2nd year player.

Because in a 3-4, one OLB always rushes the quarterback, and often the other will, too. They're more like athletic defensive ends than true linebackers. And Suggs is fast enough to drop into the flats if need be.

No problem with the picks, good luck.

ok guys, I frequently join fantasy football leagues, and this year I am entering in a strange one that requires 6 (total) "youth players" at any position. A "Youth player" is any player that is a rookie this year, or just finished his rookie season last year.
These are the positions I need to fill.
QB - Ramsey
RB - Larry Johnson - Chiefs
WR - Charles Rogers - Lions
TE - Jeremy "Soundbite" Shockey - Giants
K - ?

DL - Julius "Dr." Peppers - Panthers
LB - Nick Barnett - Packers
DB - Terence "Hello" Newman - Cowboys or Quentin Jammer - Chargers

I forgot about Q. Jammer being only a second year. I thought he was a third year!!
He's supposed to have a killer year this year!

Thanks robert.

Anyone else have some good ones I may have forgotten?

I have a book with all rookies, so that's not a problem. But I need advice on the second year players since the memory doesn't work as well as it used to.

Atlanta was planning on doing that with Patrick Kerney. After Will Overstreet's injury, they moved him back to his original posision. I think Suggs would be better off at DE.

2nd that -- he seems to get overpowerd at LB

In reality, he is. Like Joe said, thats just the position title. But he does still rush from the outside. He just may not be down in the three point stance....

BTW, I read that Suggs is having a VERY hard time rushing the QB. They're saying that he's still trying to use his speed like he did in college instead of learning how to use his hands. The OLman are much quicker in the NFL so his speed doesn't help him...

I've read that it's Suggs ability (or lack there of) to "turn the corner" on his rushes also, that's a major concern
