Biggest steals of the draft (1 Viewer)

I'm feeling pretty lucky that I picked 5 and 6 in my 2 drafts and got Addai in both. He's #3 in my TD heavy league behind MBIII and Westbrook. Barber has to be the steal of the draft so far.

Anyone with Randy Moss has to be feeling pretty good. Burress is looking great at this point.

Tony Romo looks like a nice pickup in the 5th or 6th.

I'm liking Nick Folk off the ww is looking good too.

Who else do you have?

 
Lamont Jordan. Snagged him in the 5th and 7th rounds of my two leagues. I know others got him much later, but a RB1 that late is outstanding. If only I took Barber as well.

Some possible Steals

2nd round 17th pick Clinton Portis

3rd Adrian Peterson

4th Andre Johnson

5th Anquin Boldin

6th Calvin Johnson

9th Brandon Jackson then traded him for Kevin Jones

10th Lamont Jordan steal of the draft for me

11th Alex Smith

12th DJ Hackett

14th Jake Delhomme

15th Bret Favre

1st round Reggie Bush.

7th Baltimore Ravens so so value

8th Vinateri

13th Jason Elam - had a mental lapse had to cut him

16th Tony Scheffler - had to cut him

Dealt Hackett and Delhomme for Cutler. Both are now injured.

Picked up Curry, B Marsh, O Daniels, S. Young, J. Chatman

I drafted Kickers and Defense to high. Next year I gotta draft them near the end. Unless its a good value pick.

I'll be making 2 waiver wire picks this Wednesday to strengthen my team

Here are mine from a 14 team redraft

Ben Watson (non PPR) in the 9th = $ so far

Portis - 3rd

Plax - 5th

Chambers - 8th

Vikings D - 14th :excited:

These guys have carried LT2 to a 2-1 record, now it's his turn :goodposting:

 
It has to be Randy Moss. The guy is on fire right now. Seeing as most of his owners got him outside the top 35-50 picks, he's delivering phenomenal returns.

Marion Barber is also looking good to me. If the team decides to finally make him a 20+ carry guy then he could have the type of dominant season that helps his owners win a title.

I'll take the other side of that bet. I know he is the primary pass catcher and the QB play is greatly improved, but Chambers is simply a very bad receiver in a good situation. I suspect his recent flirtation with respectability will be relatively short lived.
 
Mine, in no order...

Henry - Likely taken at the end of the first/early second, and likely making owners happy. Nothing flashy, but can't ask for more picking at the end of the first.

Mason/Curry - Very late pickups, nothing but good news here.

Driver - For those who drafted after the "injury" and took a shot on him, he hasn't lost a step. A happy Favre and a thriving GB team will only make it better

Witten - And that's how you avoid the TE run and pick one up late

Jason Hanson - Once again completely ignored in drafts, once again an every week starter at K, available for pennies on the dollar.

Minnesota - Won't keep this pace, but likely not one of the first 7 D/ST off the board.

QBNot many -- Kitna or Delhomme?

I got Kitna in the 8th. Almost embarrassed to say this, but I'm considering dropping Cutler for Derek Anderson. With the week 2 breakout he's third behind Palmer and Brady in points in my league.

Anderson looked horrible this past weekend. Even if you're desperate, I'd only start him if your league doesn't penalize for turnovers.

Exactly, league doesn't penalize for INTs or fumbles. I'll probably play it safe but the Browns do play Cincy week 16 - could Derek Anderson lead me to the promised land???

What about his good situation will be changing?
 
I would say Romo based on his ADP but Tom Brady is a close 2nd.

I can't see how Brady doesn't finish as the #1 QB overall.

 
Moss and Lamont Jordan far above anybody else. If draft were today both would be a late first/early second pick. Romo might be next. Had 2-3 rounds later than the top 3-4 QB's and looking like will be in top 3.

 
Despite being 3-0, Witten is my only starter that has exceeded expectations. Caddy has done well but I haven't needed to start him yet.
