I'm quite happy with this team. QBs are by far the best of any team in any WSL, with Favre coming back. SJax and Shockey are Top 5 guys at their positions, and waiting on RB2 and playing committee didn't hurt much at all when I got Dunn in the 7th. Two rookies that can catch out of the backfield will help.
At WR, I have some big play guys and also a steady PPR guy in Cotchery. One rookie out of 7 with big upside is a decent gamble late. Avant could be the WR2 in Philly if Stallworth goes somewhere (I say TEN).
Matt Stover's a rock of a kicker. Mare is a ?, as his cap number is high and he's a bit expensive, but he should latch on if he is gone from MIA.
The defensive units for NE and KC are good and KC is improving, plus each has big play potential and solid returners.
Better luck next year. Middle of the pack. So you had 2 solid picks, and then fell off the map. Not trying to be too critical, but if your gonna come out and say "QBs are by far the best of any team in any WSL" I guess your ready for it.Didn't you have Shockey ranked pretty low last year? Just wondering what it is that changed your mind about him, since he's now top 5 at his position as you mentioned.Jeff Pasquino

Overall, I was happy with my draft. I give it an overall grade of B.
Was very happy that Kevin Jones fell to 2.08! I thought that allowed me to go out on a limb and grab Winslow in the third. With the TE's getting 2pts/rec in this format I took the chance. Perhaps I should have waited, as I was forced to go WR for the next three rounds. Went with some younger receivers with upside (Edwards, Battle,Clayton,White and Nance,Williams) that have the potential to improve dramatically.
Thought I was lucky to get Cutler at 17.09. He will perform better than QB 18! Culpepper wont return to the no.1 fantasy QB, but he will be bounce back as a passer.
TE's are solid. Winslow should be good to go and hopefully Wiggins bounces back from a sub par season.
I saw the run coming, both defenses are solid and Marv will improve the Bills run defense!
In the 19 round all teams picking before me in the 20th had two kickers, so I grabbed my sleeper pick Nash. Then, some weasel pick my rookie kicker. Who picks three kickers??? One kicker might hurt.
Let me have it!!!

I traded away Colston for Mason (Dynasty) after week 1 this year. I'm still losing sleep over it!
This is a tough looking team. QB's are good to go, you have one stud RB to go with a decent enough platoon at RB2 to score every week.QB's:J. Kitna, B. Rothlisberger, C. Batch.I really like the odds of Detroit's offense continuing to progress and improve and believe Kitna could end the season in the 7-9 area. Big Ben is a big ?? but has obviously shown the ability. I took Batch as insurance.
RB's:S. Alexander, J. Lewis, R. Droughns, C. Buckhalter, K. BarlowI took some chances here, and this group will make or break my team. If Alexander returns to form, and Lewis stays a starter, this group should carry me to the end. If they don't, my squad is likely destined for an early exit. Droughns and Barlow should provide adequate bye week filler. Buckhalter, if he stays healthy, could be gold if westy were to get hurt.
TE's:A. Gates, C. Baker
WR's:L. Coles, G. Jennings, H. Baskett, A. Toomer, Mi. Clayton, E. WilfordI probably need Jennings and Baskett to start and have at least moderate success to challenge for a title here, but if they don't Toomer should keep me at least competitive. Clayton could finally realize his potential and become an every week scorer, but I don't feel very confidant in that considering the rest of the offense around him. (Worth the risk as an 11th round selection.)
K's: D. Akers, L. TynesAkers is gold.
Denver D/ST, Detroit D/STDenver should remain a top ten DST. Detroit was the last DST taken, but I believe should outplay the DST32 ranking.
Overall, I think this squad has the potential to run away with this, but has enough risk in it that an early exit is almost as likely. This team is highly unlikely to end middle of the pack.

Your WR are deep but no real stars here. With Bryant being suspended to start the season you'll need Evans/Stall/Cotch to come up big early.
You've got Sjax which is great, not sure if Dunn fits the new coaches scheme or not, A.Gibbs is out in ATL and Dunn seemed to thrive under him 2 seasons ago. After that there is nothing here I like. But in a 16 teamer SJax might well be all you need.
I love shockey

I took Favre b/c I didn't want to get caught without a QB2 and to wait for the next turn, the cupboard would have been pretty bare.
My rookie RBs can both catch out of the backfield and I think both will put up RB25-30 numbers on a given week, which should be enough. I made a conscious decision to sluff RB2 in this draft with SJax on board.
WRs will be interesting. If Avant starts or Bowe, I have a really strong team. I have some 1's / 1a's (Cotchery) and some 2's as well, and most of them have big play abilities. Evans / Stallworth / Cotchery / Bryant should be enough to cover me, and if Bowe / Avant / Hackett post a TD, they could help here.
Defense was actually a concern, and in retrospect I might have taken Chicago over Favre. That would have been a tough call. Bears / Chris Simms vs. Favre and WR4 or 5 - tough decision.
All in all, always a good challenge.

Thoughts: I really don't know what to make of this squad. Picking from the 13th spot, I really didn't like any of the backs that were on the board, with Rudi Johnson going one spot before my pick. Accordingly, I went Steve Smith, who should have another stellar year as long as the hammys don't flare up again. Coming back in the second, I still couldn't get excited about any of the backs, so I grabbed another sure thing in Reggie Wayne.
Of course, this strategy left me with some real questions at RB. Not a single one of my backs is a guaranteed RB1. That said, I also think the top 3 guys are all going to play substantial roles next season, no matter what happens. Frankly, I may be the most excited about Henry, as the word is that he will renegotiate his deal to stay in TEN. If so, I think he'll have another nice year.
I'd put my WR up against anyone. I've already mentioned Smith and Wayne, but Berrian and Henderson give me all kinds of big play potential. Henderson intrigues me the most, as Horn is likely on his way out of town in NO, which should only increase his opportunities. I also thought Washington was a nice deal in round 20. I do wish that my WR 3-5 were less boom/bust type guys on a weekly basis.
QB situation is murky, but should be ok. I'm happy with Romo, who I think will only get better. Losman managed to come on pretty nicely at the end of last season, so here's hoping he manages to continue his improvement. Quinn, well -- basically I went on tilt after getting hosed in the now infamous JaMarcus Russell Debacle™ and just picked the next guy that came to mind. We'll see.
TE is also not a strength, which is why I took the unusual step of grabbing three. Miller is still a pretty good player, even if he didn't live up to expectations last year. I took a shot at Eric Johnson, who I think is on his way out of town in SF. If he can catch in the right spot, such as New Orleans, he could be a 700/5 type of guy. I also took a gamble on Troupe, who I'm betting can rebound from an awful season last year.
K and DT -- meh. I do like Jacksonville.
All in all, an ok draft from where I was sitting at #13. Let's go Ron Dayne
