Ouch...kicker, punter, and CB are all homer picks...at least in my opinion. Other than that, very well done. I'll be posting a new blog either 2day or 2morrow, check it out if you have the time.

Hey I didn't pick a Gator Kicker. Major Wright's a Safety and I think he'll have a breakout year this year.

Chris Rainey might be the only homer pick that's a stretch.

good stuff leak,
Though,you guys are sleeping on McCoy at LB. Brandon/McCOy are the top two returning tacklers in the SEC. numbers/film don't lie.
no-way he should be lower than two at the postion..sure we hope alot of guys may be good or good again,but lets reward the ones getting it done on the field!.
