Favre to vikes-seriously?

Brett Favre in the purple and gold? Say it isnt so. I return from 10 days in Alaska to find my vikings toying with the idea of #4 at QB. Please......stop the madness.
First, I do not want to have to be distracted by this circus again.
Second, what about Sage Rosenfels? Why trade for him and give him a ton of money only to slap him in the face with all this Favre madness.

Minnesota has a history of this though. I mean the "Lets overpay for an ageing veteran who wants to play but is on his last legs and downside of his career" (Can anyone say Herschel Walker? I think that was a 1990 trade where MIN got Walker and Dallas got every draft pick from the Vikes and DAL took Emmit Smith with their first rounder.)

Is Drew Brees worthy of a top 12 pick?

Some think NO QB Drew Brees is worthy of a 1st round pick in fantasy football this year.
I say NO!
Maybe in a start 2 QB league or one where QBs get 6 points per TD (NFFC), but in most leagues he is a 2nd rounder at best. There just is not enough seperation between him and a QB you can get a little later to justify giving up a 1st round pick.

2009 NFL Draft ramifications for Fantasy Football

The draft is over but what does it really mean.
First, lots of things will change between now and Week 1 of the regular season so "Flexability is the key". But somethings do jump out after looking at how the NFL draft turned out.

QB
D McNabb may have struck it rich with a first round WR and a OT as well.
S Hill is a big time sleeper pick at QB if Crabtree can produce right away ala Calvin Johnson
Bugler gets some OL help to offset the loss of O Pace. Actually this is more of a push then a plus.

Obviously the days are numbered for K Clemens, D Culpepper and whomever TB elects to start initially.

RB
RBs with no competition coming from the draft: Pierre Thomas, Ronnie Brown, Jamal Lewis, Cedric Benson, MJD and just about every other RB other then DEN, PHI, IND, NYJ and AZ

McGahee, Rice and McClain need to all look over their shoulders at Cedric Peerman.

WR
Teams would did not get any WR help: BAL, CAR, DAL, KC, STL and NYJ
MIA took several as did the NYG and CLE
MIN, SF, PHI, TEN all got big time WR upgrades with the draft.
