STINKIN REF:2.03 Aaron Rodgers QB1 GB20.03 Mark Sanchez QB35 NYJRodgers needs to stay healthy and keep the duds to a minimum. If I wanted a legit backup I had to pull the trigger by round 6 or 7, but it never felt right as I needed to address WR and TE there. To be honest I was banking on Vick making it to round 9. Thought he was the type of explosive guy that would pair well with a stud. In hindsight, I should have pulled the trigger on him in round 8 instead of McGahee, but at the time of my pick, the word seemed to be that it will probably be McGahee’s job to lose next year and there are some points to be had in the DEN backfield if you hit the right guy. I still feel that Vick is being undervalued in these. Had I taken Vick I may have still been able to get McGahee, I don’t know. Wouldn’t have been thrilled with what was left to choose from at RB late in round 9. If McGahee is the primary guy, it might pay off as he will probably score more weeks then Vick would have with Rodgers in tow, but I definitely would have liked seeing Vick’s name above instead of Sanchez. Got the best QB, so it could be worse.3.14 Steven Jackson R19B ?5.14 David Wilson RB26 NYG8.03 Willis McGahee RB32 DEN10.03 Andre Brown RB44 NYG13.13 Michael Bush RB63 CHIBanking on Jackson finding the promised land and having one of those years for the ages. Hoping he signs in an offense where he can produce. He has always been one of my favorite players even though he is not a fantasy stud and I haven’t owned him that often. Am glad to kind of have the current NYG running game on lockdown, this should be solid RB2 points one way or the other. Bradshaw getting released just prior to my 10th round pick was pretty sweet. Touched on McGahee already, but he could really be the “swing pick” of my draft. Bush as RB63 in the 13th seems criminal and a great way to round out this group. Not sure if people forgot about him or if I am missing something, but he seemed like a much better pick then several guys that went in front of him. I really thought I must have missed him getting hit by a bus or something after looking at the guys who went before him. Crippler commented about Forte being a “solid #1”, I am not of that opinion. He seems to get dinged, and even when he doesn’t Bush will steal the goal line love. Bush can score for me on a week where he only gets 3 carries. Think Crippler may have dropped the ball by not snagging Bush by 13.12, not sure if he was planning on it in round 14, but Bush screamed value to me when he was still there where I got him. I like the potential of this group.1.14 Julio Jones WR3 ATL4.03 Eric Decker WR17 DEN6.03 DeSean Jackson W35R PHI14.03 Darrius Heyward-Bey WR71 OAK15.14 Jacoby Jones WR76 BAL19.14 David Nelson WR94 BUFJones has the look of a top 5 guy for the next several years so a solid start. Decker is a solid WR2 and had the second most TD’s by a WR. So he is a TD threat as well as a high catch guy. Commented earlier that I liked him more than some of the guys that went off the board in his area, but didn’t want to expand on that at the time. I think his upside is higher than Colston, and I like him more then Nicks and Garcon because of stability. Wayne was a consideration but again I like Decker’s upside better. Prefer Decker to Crabtree, Harvin, and Jackson, who were taken earlier. Locked in #2 or 1A depending on how you look at it, in a Peyton Manning offense. I ‘ll take it. Jackson could be a steal at WR35, I think he out produces that and is a solid WR3 in this format behind two weekly studs. He may get the ball in his hands a ton and not just through the air. Jackson and the other three guys should give me a good shot at a solid WR3 score each week. I’m about ready to jump on the Philly fantasy train as I think Kelly will bring a new energy to that entire team, including the defense, with his new style. IMO, all PHI fantasy guys are being undervalued right now in a big way (Vick, McCoy, Jackson, etc.). DHB, Jones, and Nelson aren’t too bad for not addressing the WR position for about 8 rounds. Like Jones to have those big games, DHB could be a hit or dud, and even coming off an ACL injury it looks like BUF plans to have Nelson be a major part of the WR crew having parted ways with Jones. 6’5” red zone guy. Depth could be an issue here, but the price I had to pay for drafting Gonzo and Bush.7.14 Jermichael Finley TE12 GB9.14 Tony Gonzalez TE2111.14 Dwayne Allen TE27 INDAllen was a guy I had highlighted on my sheet before this draft started. Like him a ton. Gonzo pick could be gold and a totally luxury pick. Even if he retires, I still like my TE group. Kind of hearing that he may come back. Finley may or may not be back in GB, honestly I didn’t know that was a possibility. I thought they liked how he turned things around after pouting for a while. My guess would be is that if he doesn’t return, he won’t be unemployed long. In a 2PPR league this group could cover some occasional down weeks elsewhere with some big weeks and 3 solid guys to choose from.16.03 Lawrence Tynes PK10 FA17.14 Rian Lindell PK29 BUF12.03 CHI DST418.03 IND DS29TTotal crap here except CHI was #1 DST last year, so hopefully they stay up in that area and Tynes was #2 PK, so hopefully he resigns. One would think INDY will look to address the defense since they have a playoff quality team.Overall: My initial plan going in this year was to try and take guys early from I what I consider to be high performing offensive teams. I didn’t want to be trying to squeeze fantasy points out of guys who were on teams that didn’t put up many of them to begin with. I feel like I was able to accomplish that through the first 13 rounds with Jackson being the wild card. After that it was kind of a crap shoot, but I do like my Jacoby Jones pick. Possible huge mistake in not backing Rodgers up sooner, cause everybody lays an egg, but hopefully I can cover his down weeks elsewhere. Had some thoughts of rolling solo at QB, PK, or DST but decided not to. Honestly I feel I am pretty strong in a 1-2-3-1-1-1 weekly format. Weakness is definitely WR4-WR6 and backup QB/PK/DST. But I can live with that, or hopefully at least survive.Enjoyed it…can’t wait for next draft….good luck.....
coming from the guy that took Gonzo)....I also liked this team cause if Mathews proves us all wrong and turns things around with a new attitude/health/coaching staff you may have gotten the SOD....and your WR's are solid, especially in PPR...had Celek or Bennett been on your roster I would have only had your QB's to pick on at this point as you could still get some more RB's etc.....read something about Palmer and possibly getting cut and maybe resigned for less cash as the Raiders don't want to pay him what he is due next year....but with him and Schaub you might have been okay considering you waited till 6/7 to get them....nice job... 
Bradshaw should get the chance to get a lot of touches somewhere, but is again an injury concern. I think Hillman will continue to improve as he learns more this off season and Manning continues to get him the ball in proper situations out in space. Dwyer and Young should be guys that can score 3-6 TD's this year and just getting those 6 points in a week could put them in my starting lineup. Overall, I like this group as I should get consistent production out of TRich and then consistently get 1-2 starter points each week from the rest of the group.WRLarry FitzgeraldTitus YoungDoug BaldwinBrian HartlineKendall WrightMohamed SanuDavid GettisNot huge on this group, but do think I have a nice mix of vets that should produce and some young guys that could become every week starters. Love the value I got with Fitz and hope to see a solid QB end up in the desert that should return Fitz to a top 5 role. Baldwin and Hartline are solid vets that should be high target guys on their teams. Wright and Sanu should really be able to step up and continue to improve their games and receive single coverage while receivers on the other side of the field get more attention. Young is the protypical head case with top talent but a brain that could have him out of the league soon. Gettis was a flyer late in the draft with the hope that he can become the #2 or #3 in an offense that continues to lean more and more on Cam Newton.TEAaron HernandezCoby FleenerLike this combo with Hernandez being a stud even with another stud TE on his team's roster. Brady gets his favorite toys and continues to play with them while they are out there. Will be a big boost if Welker leaves, but could take a little hit if Harvin ends up there as some of the rumors are leaning towards. Fleener will continue to develop as his young QB continues to distribute the ball around the field.KJustin TuckerRandy BullockTucker will be involved with a team that continues to transition to more of an offensive team than the defensive team it was in the past. Houston seemed ready to hand over their kicking duties to arookie last year before an injury and he should easily beat out Graham in camp this year.DEFGreen BayTaking a chance here with only 1 defense and I may get zero support from this position this year. Didn't take the last defense on the board (JAX) and took a chance at another RB with the hope and thought that I would get more important/timely production than I would from a team that should continue to be very poor defensively.Overall I like this team. I was able to get lots of depth at RB and WR and solid talent at QB and TE.
