Pretty happy so far, but that comes with finally getting a #1 Pick.
QB - Big Ben (6)
RB - LT2 (7), BJackson (7)
WR - Boldin (9), Evans (6), Calvin Johnson (6)
TE - Alge Crumpler (8)
I couldn't believe that Calvin came back to me at 4.16. That was crazy.
I seem to always wind up with Crumpler, but I'm not disappointed.
Waiting on RB2 for Rounds 6/7 turn, I thought Fred Taylor would fall. Surprised a little, but Brandon Jackson is likely going to get a lot of work in Green Bay. Probably should have considered Norwood a little more, but I still would have gone BJax.
Big Ben has nice upside and they want to throw more. I like him as QB1.
Now that I'm looking at byes, I'm concerned at RB obviously, but I hope I can fix that later.
Probably should have looked first.....
I don't mean to pee on your parade, but if I'm not going to get the #1 pick, I'm glad you did. I don't understand the excitement about Calvin Johnson. Martz has said he wants to bring Calvin around slowly, and he's the WR2/3 in that offense as of today. He has the potential to be good, but the Tomlinson team doesn't need potential - it needs proven starters. You surrounded him with way too many hopes and dreams for my tastes, like Roethlisberger, who hasn't broken 18 TDs in his career, is coming off a 23 interception season, doesn't run much, and just turned over to a rookie head coach. I think I've been clear over the years that I don't draft based on bye weeks, but while I don't get passing on RB2 until the seventh round for a guy who might or might not play, it's twice as bad that you targetted a guy who shares a bye week with Tomlinson. If I could pick any fantasy bye week this year to avoid being weak, it would be week 7, because there aren't many good fantasy players between Cleveland, San Diego, Carolina and Green Bay. That's going to be one of the highest scoring weeks of the season, and you have no running backs. I suppose if you got amnesty week 6, you'll be able to survive that awful week 7 bye, but you have your QB and two of your top three receivers on bye that week.
I would honestly be shocked if this team is around in week 8 because it's built like a redraft team that doesn't have the #1 player in fantasy football.
