The reports on Holmes still indicate that he's supposed to be ready for the start of the season. However, until he actually plays in a game, I would reserve any judgement.
I have started to put together my draft strategy, picking last (12th) in the first round and first (13th overall) in the second. I figure the following players will definitely be gone: Tomlinson, R. Williams, Faulk, Portis, Holmes, Shaun Alexander, McAlister, Marvin Harrison and Donovan McNab. Ahman Green and Travis Henry will probably be the other two players gone.
The above scenario would leave me with the following pool of players to consider: Edgerrin James, Corey Dillon, Stephen Davis, Fred Taylor, Jamal Lewis, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Rich Gannon, and Michael Vick.
I really want to wait on taking a QB, so I would probably grab James and Owens. If Owens is gone, I would take one of the other RB's that fell by Owens going earlier. The only QB I would consider here would be McNab. I won the league last year with a combo of Pennington, Maddox and Brad Johnson at QB, and that type of QB should be available in rounds 5 - 8.
