... the second player taken off of the board in drafts. I’m going to tell you why he shouldn’t be drafted with the second pick.

Jaguars’ running back Maurice Jones-Drew is heading into his fourth year in the NFL. During his previous three seasons, MJD split carries with long time Jaguar running back Fred Taylor.

Even though he was a split-carry back, MJD was still highly coveted in fantasy drafts. He's just 5'6 but he possesses speed, power, and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and while lining up at receiver.

So now that he's the guy in Jacksonville, he should be one of the top two off the board right?

Wrong.

With MJD going mostly with pick two and sometimes over Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson, I believe he is highly overvalued.
