Here A Move, There A Move

In With New Hope

And out with the old. The Niners bring in Bryant Johnson from the Cards at WR and release Darrell Jackson. Jackson was released by the 'Hawks for a reason and whether I blogged it or not last year, he certainly wasn't on any of my cheat sheets for drafting. Johnson was buried behind Larry Fitzgerald and Anquon Boldin. He appears to be a decent WR, but has never had an opportunity.

The Mustard: Depending on what happens in San Fran, Johnson may turn out to be an early-to-midseason waiver wire pick to cover a bye week or replace that WR4 you drafted that didn't pan out. Right now, with new coaching (Have to check into that...) and a wide open QB competition, we don't know what to expect out of the Niners.

Giants Re-Sign Ward

Good for the Giants. Although he gets banged up a lot, Ward along withBrandon Jacobs and previous nobody Ahmad Bradshaw make for a potent running attack.

The Mustard: I'm a Jacobs homer due to his Auburn connections and the way he announced that the days of the Giants not being able to get a 3rd and 1 were over when he was drafted. I love a little well placed bravado. But this does make for a muddled backfield. I'd like to tell you Jacobs will at least get the goal line carries, but I don't recall that being true late in the season. In an auction, put Jacobs out there for a few dollars and see what happens. In a re-draft, I'm thinking round 4 or 5 as RB3.
