MJD picks himself with the first over all draft choice

In the 2012 Syrus NFL Radio draft. Some take this to mean that MJD will not hold out deep into the pre-season but is this so? MJD led the league in rushing last year and at 28 years of age nows the time to seek that fat contract but he's locked in for 2 more years at about $4M each. He's threatened to hold out to force the Jags hands but they've said they won't budge. It's an interesting case as most would agree after seeing other RB's get mega deals this year that MJD deserves a nice boost. Take it from me, I've listened to Jones-Drew for two years on his fantasy talk show and he's not the best player in the world. He isn't taking his fantasy draft nearly as serious as you and I do ours and for a few million $$ most of us would make a bad pick or two ourselves. Would he tip his hand to ownership by picking himself first in a fantasy draft? I think not. Don't read the tea leaves here. Monitor what happens closely and remember what happened to CJ and his fantasy owners in his hold out year.
 
Oh and for the record he picked his self with his first round pick last season as well. 2 years ago he predicted on his show that Arian Foster would be special and last season he picked Forte as his big surprise player. That's about all I remember from the last 2 years except he loves saying "come on man."
