Steve Slaton for the Texans
Matt Schaub could have a pro bowl season if healthy.
So you think Slaton will have a breakout season after having the 6th highest total last year? Marvelous, are you related to Miss Cleo or something?
Schaub=never gonna get it, never gone get it.**singing**
Doubtfull at best. IMO he's a longshot to be the starter.
Cowboys' Felix Jones
Cowboys' Mike Jenkins
I can dream, right?
Felix Jones is a good pick, he had some flash last year before he got hurt. Jenkins is an alright pick, but people don't notice CB's in their first breakout season. It took Nnamdi two or three years to finally get noticed.
Good calls! When I saw this thread title the first guy I thought of was Gholston - I think he'll be to the Jets what Terrell Suggs has been to the Ravens.
As far as Mebane goes, health permitting, he should be a pro bowl contender, I'm just not sure 10 sacks is doable. I'd love it if he did though, 'cause the Seahawks will likely win the NFC West if it happens.
Good comparrion with Suggs/Gholston. Even though I think Suggs was more football smart and had better skills with technique, Gholston has the potential to do everything suggs can and I thik Ryan can get him up to speed very quickly.
I feel the same way about Mebane, I am with you I'm not sure about the 10 sacks either. Not often do DT's get 10 sacks in a season and don't see him as being a great pass rusher.
RB Cedric Benson - I think this season he'll prove why he was such a highly touted RB.
QB Sage Rosenfels - I think he will win the Vikings QB spot and do really well as long as he doesnt try and hurdle over defenders for a 1st down up 13 points with 4 mins elft.
RB Kevin Smith(homer pick) I think the kid is great and will have 1400 yards and 15 TDs
CB Leigh Bodden - New England got a steal with this guy. He is awsome but losing with DEt just absolutley broke this guy, but NE has an nact for signing these guys and turning them into All-Pros just to let them walk once thier ego gets too high.
Benson won't happen. He's injury prone 1, he can't carry the load 2, and he's proven when healthy he's average. I mean he's had 5 100+ yard games in 4 years. He's Rashaan Salaam 2.0,
Depending on what the Lions do with the first pick Kevin Smith could have a breakout season or be at risk to have the sophmore slump. If the Lions draft Stafford he's at risk for that sophmore slump. If they go with I think the top tackle one the board is Jason Smith from Baylor, Smith could get over 1,000 yards, but I doubt he'll have the season you expect. He'll be the focal point next season most likely.
My choices
If I may, let me go with some steelers, Rashard Mendenhall will make in impact and get noticed next year, not sure if you can call it a breakout but he'll get talked about, and Timmons I hope takes over as the starter next season and people start talking about him as having a breakout season. I also think Holmes will become a top 10 WR next year. He hasn't had that "breakout" season yet. 824, 942, and 821 yds in his first 3 years. I expect him to improve into the 1,100 yard range and eclipse double digget TD's.
