Round 19...IF healthy (I know, big if), he is good for 700-800 yards and 5 TDs. Where else are you going to find that? I took Kerley instead and I think that is a better over in the long run, but I was in a position at WR to take a shot and I can't think of anyone else at that spot that has the potential to put up more than a few hundred yards.Stinkin Ref said:
you know he is not in DAL anymore right.....?....and that right now I'm on pace to catch as many TD's as him......I might even have more upside....
I like the Austin Pick also. Especially if he were to end up in a place like Carolina. I almost took him with my last pick. Its all a crap shoot from here anways. Austin has some upside in a BB league IMO.
Reminds me of the STL love the prior two years.

Smells like a high floor, low ceiling team. Which might be enough to get you to the end, where anything can happen. QB is fine with Peyton and Schaub, even if Matt loses his job somehow (I don't see it, though). RB lacks upside but fills that gap with decent PPR production. WR corps is a little flat, but is helped by a very prescient (read: lucky) set of bye weeks. Nothing special here, really. But Peyton can make the mediocre magical.Shadowfax said:
This could be one of my favorite teams. Your starters are about as balanced as can get, and barring a major injury, I don't see how you end up with the lowest score for a long while (and that really is the point of this whole thing).
I think Sinr's starters are above-average at literally every position (except D/ST, maybe, but who cares). I'm not sure I've ever seen an SL roster I could say that about. If the NFL season played out with no injuries to skill-position players I think he'd be a heavy favorite.
Thank you as well for the kind words. I hope that is the case (going far, barring injury). I hear ya about the backups. Some of them are not great/sexy, but we do always have to keep in mind where we got them and who was still available at the time. Eli is a good example, I think. He absolutely SUCKED last year, I know. But when I got him, and really only needing someone for a week or two more than likely, it doesn't bother me. There were very few sure-fire starters at the point I took Eli, and although he has regressed a good deal, he is still the starter, and I firmly believe will keep the starter spot barring injury for this year at least. Others that were left had a lot of ?? or were rookies and we have no clue where they will land yet or how they will be handled.
Gotta admit I'm not a big fan. RBs are ok but will get a boost if Stewart can stay on the field (big doubts though). Hate the backup WRs of Brown, Royal, Austin and Gibson. No upside at all. Hated the Eifert pick in the 6th and still do. Should have drafted a WR/RB.Tom Brady(10), EJ Manuel(9)

Like it. Good value on QBs, especially Vick/Geno. I did that in WSL (I think) but it cost me a bit more than you got here. For some reason I think Pierre and Bradshaw just may save your RB corps. I'm still bitter about TRich from last year -- I had him in too many leagues last year so he's dead to me this year. WR/TE a strength here. I know it was your last pick but Hill sucks. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets buried on the depth chart or just cut. If your RBs pan out, you'll be a tough out.
As with a lot of teams drafting this early, you're banking on lot of "assumptions"...Stacy, Jennings, Cooper to perform like last year. Sanders and LaFell to step in and assume production. And I believe most will. I think your team is like mine. Steady across the board but no position jumps out at you. Don't know exactly what that means but we'll hope for the best. I like my team so I like yours also. But I don't love the Shonn Greene pick...probably would have been fine w/o him and could have used another WR. Would have really liked this team ditching Greene and adding a Stevie Johnson, James Jones, or Hartline. I wanted to pair LaFell with Dobson but you nixed that plan and then later on stole Andre Brown from me.
QBs are great - will compete for best in the league. Drafted 5 RBs but only 3 will play (only 2 when McF gets hurt). Don't understand the Battle pick at all. And why Richardson over Cunningham? I see you've drafted WRs like I usually do. Throw a bunch of crap together and see if 3 stick each week....but it would be better if your WRs had better QBs throwing to them. You don't so you may struggle. Edelman needs to remain WR1 and I used to like Randle but there seems to be a lot of chatter that he's not the answer. You should have backed up Cameron. Dude disappeared 2nd half last year and lost his coach. Maybe better QB play helps him but you needed to have another option here. Prediction - 1st half exit for this team.
Wound up traveling for work the last 4 rounds and mailed it in. Pretty happy overall. Anxious for next weekend to see where the late round darts land.
