Thanks JP.I was completely indifferent to drafting Carr, had my eyes on Brees but ravn beat me to it.
He was at the top of my list. Nick pick FM you dog.Toomer is the better value, IMHO.While I love Lloyd's skill, I am less inthusiastic than most of his production in Wash this year. If as most say that Saunder's will have the impact on Portis he has had on backs of the past then you have to wonder about WR2's in his offense.As for Toomer, I may more optimistic than I should based on Eli's progression. I can't help but think he will show a little better results than last year. But who knows. As a side note, if Burress is in fact fueding somewhat with Eli then maybe that creeps into the equation somewhat and finds a few more looks to Toomer. Probably not but you never know.Watching both Lloyd and Toomer go, I am reminded yet again why I love and hate drafting with FBGs.
Nice pick on both.
His 2nd half was quite good last year.

Well I'm not sold on my team. Unfortunately for me I've been drafting absentee mostly. While I may be competitive, I really do not see this team as a threat to repeat as champion. In order to do so here's what I need to have happen:1. Palmer must come back to form early.
gosh, everything i've heard about the new skins offense is 3 wide with portis carries going WAY down and trying to utilize his speed with more runs to the outside. The receiving corps should have a very good year.While I love Lloyd's skill, I am less inthusiastic than most of his production in Wash this year.

While I like Carr in redraft, I actually like Simms more for Survivor.Galloway and (hopefully) Clayton can hit more HRs than AJ or Moulds.

My memory is fuzzy on this one - what's Brunell's track record in such an offense? I can't recall anything like that going on in Jacksonville back then.I'm not sure the old dog can learn these new tricks.

You just put your comments before mine when you replied.
On QB2s you mean?I think the bye week fears set in.
I guess I'm much higher on most people regarding this offense. I think Portis is going to have a fantastic year with all the attention that the opposing defense will have to provide with all those weapons. I still think Lloyd will have a good year also given his ADP. I was targeting him, but he went one round too early for me.gosh, everything i've heard about the new skins offense is 3 wide with portis carries going WAY down and trying to utilize his speed with more runs to the outside.

It was a tough call for me to take Edge ahead of Portis. But I just came off owning Portis last year and was underwhelmed. I also witnessed at times, liberal use of Betts to close out games. Edge seems like the riskier play overall, but I think he might end up getting more touches than Portis.
These drafts are more fun than other drafts that are easy. I always enjoy the challenge of a great league like this one.
If this is my hardest draft this year I'll be a happy man. I say this knowing that this has NOT been easy - by far.So far this year I've done:
Wait a minute. The Eagles have WR's?If this is my hardest draft this year I'll be a happy man. I say this knowing that this has NOT been easy - by far.So far this year I've done:
PDSL
SSL4 (yeah I know, but still)
FBG Magazine (redraft)
Dynasty draft
My league Survivor draft (mirrors this one / SSLs - 14 teams - nearly done)
and this one.
Of the 4 Survivor, this is the toughest one by far.
Nice job all.
Even those of you who think you know the Eagles WR situations.

Jeff-glad you joined this group. Sorry I wasn't able to be there like I'm used to. This has been been a real butt kicker for me.This league started last year and has been a blast. I can tell it's going to be fun and challenging. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have so far.I got one pick left, but this has been fun.
I'm probably skipping the MBSLs because I have a lot of articles to write for this group, so I hope y'all understand.
Plus I have a Staff auction to go win....
Seriously - I have like 10 articles I want to get out there to spark discussion, and that's worth a ton. All sorts of topics.
Good luck everyone - I think it is pretty close competition all across the board.
Not sure what you mean by "not being there", but this went pretty well. Two weeks is a pretty good clip.BTW - you might want to check out this thread :( .Jeff-glad you joined this group.

By not being there I mean I was in the hospital a when this this draft started and have been in rehab since so I haven't been my usal self. I've been known to draft better. And yes I've been following the K-Rob story. I'm just hoping it's pre-wed jitters and not jiggers.Not sure what you mean by "not being there", but this went pretty well.

Actually the back is ok. My neck is the problem. I have severe arthitis and what seems to be permanent nerve damage to my occipital nerve. This has been ongoing for over 2 years now. While it's not so much dangerous it is very painful. I'm learning how to live with it and the physical therapy has been difficult to say the least. I'll get throught it but I may never be able to work again and that really sucks.Thanks for asking. I appreciate everyones support as I go through this. You guys have been awesome!

Agreed, but then , wouldn't the Chiefs be the frontrunner? Isn't Dante Hall the most dangerous returner alive?
Well Perry, I think if you polled the majority, they'd say that Dante's skills haven't diminished noticably. Most would tell you that one person (Bush, Moss) doesn't make a special teams unit. It takes more than a Hall, bush, Moss to get those TDs. That probably answers your question.
If I win then it'll be due to the meds because I have no idea why. I have no clue what I was doing. Looking at this draft it doesn't resemble anything like a team I would normally draft. Just ask Rads. I think he'll tesify that it isn't a typical FM team.I'll tell you this, Family...While you were in the hospital, I am convinced that some nurse slipped you a copy of my rankings. You consistantly took guys that I was targeting.
What this means is, if you win it all, it is basically as if I won as well. Will you share your winnings?
Really? I think your team is really strong assuming Palmer, Foster, and others remain healthy. You've got some key players that are perfect for a best ball format (Terry Glenn for example).
