Branching out

Thoughts on the Deion Branch trade:

Congrats to the wise owners who drafted Branch (myself included) hoping this feud with the Patriots would come to a quick conclusion. He was too talented to simply leave on the draft board, even if there was a possibility he could sit out most of the season.

The Seahawks obviously could use some extra offense (witness Sunday's 9-6 baseball game against Detroit) and must have some worries about Darrell Jackson and/or Nate Burleson. Branch should be a good fit, and although Seattle will spread the ball around and it will take Branch a little time to get acquainted to the offense, he'll be a big boost for any fantasy team looking for WR help. And if you already owned him, you can sleep a little easier now.
