I took quite a ribbing for grabing Jones in the 7th.

I can see making fun of someone for picking Jones, but in the 7th? Two and a half rounds after Eddie went? They should be making fun of your starting WRs instead.You wouldn't believe the ribbing I took for grabing Jones in the 7th.

Bruce Henderson took Richie Anderson.
I don't think people were making fun of the pick...rather that he called him the starter.

Link to week 5 rumor?... please.Also, I like your team but saying the WR's are your great is a reach. Boldin is out until week 8 at a minimum until I see otherwise. Stallworth is constantly on the IR. Smith is solid but probably will not live up to his draft position there.Johnson is a good pick.Kennison is okay, but no upside.

My WRs could be my strength, but at this point are slightly above average probably. I think the strength of my team is balance.My weakness is RB depth. Anybody who has quality RB depth is weak at WR or QB...or at least they should be...haven't looked at rosters yet in great detail.

My draft is done:QB: Brooks, FavreRB: FTaylor, M Bennett, C Brown, E Smith, L Toefield, Antowain SmithWR: SMoss, JSmith, IBruce, RGardner, K McCardellTE: GrahamD: PhillyK: ViniterriIn a "real" league I'd have taken b/u K, D and TE, and I'd have one more WR and one less RB. I drafted from the 8 spot, and I took Fred T over Moss/Harrison as I knew the draft would be stupid RB heavy up top. I backed up all my RBs, I have a great three-wide lineup, and Gardner filling in on bye weeks (he doesn't share a bye with any of my starters) makes my WR crew deep every week - when McCardell signs, I'll be even more solid. My QBs are great - solid as anything I could hope for.I have no weaknesses as far as I can tell except if Graham stumbles - and in a "real" draft I would have backed up Graham pretty quickly with either Jeremy Stevens, Jason Whitten, Freddie Jones or Erin Kinney.Except for Gray snaking two of my selections, I feel I did pretty darned well.I think I got good value throughout the draft and I have very little risk on my team - though very little tremendous upside, there is good upside potential with SMoss Bennett and CBrown. I think this is an extremely competitive crew in a head to head league with just about any team.
Chris Smith

Drafting from # 1, don't be afraid to go against the grain despite what the runs are doing. You'll notice a few times that I bucked the trend and went in a different direction. That allowed me to lead the way at a number of positions (First RB of course, then WR, then RB, then QB/TE and it results in a pretty strong draft. My team has a weakness at RB#2 (was hoping for a little better option than George to be available there) but the rest of the roster is pretty good. I think this team would be able to go 10-4 or better during the regular season.

I took Jones.Only real player I got snaked on was Johnson, Kevin BAL WR, I should have taken him in the 13th, but I was confident he would slide.Overjoyed with my QBs and RBs (I haven't looked, but I could easily have the strongest in the Draft). I really need McCardell to play in the CFL this season, and Marcus Robinson to be a total flop.

YES!! I do not see Greg Jones having much fantasy value in 2004 - he is NOT going to get the starting roile if Fred T goes down b/c everything I've read is that he looks slow, he has always had hands of stone and that has not improved, and he is still not 100% back from his previous injury. If FredT is injured, Toefield, not Jones, will be the starter.I give Greg Jones a year or two to develop and heal up and he might compete with Toefield to start in '06 and be like the Bus.

Yep. Sad display at WR. Last 2 WRs taken were rooks and of course I drafted the bust Lelie. I think I'll do alright with the rest of them however. Obviously I believe that my strength will be at RB. My QBs are average. Had this been a real league I would have probably taken a 3rd QB. WRs are average with potential. This team would be competitive in a real league imo. .

My Emmitt pick, IIRC, was supposed to be D Foster , excepty for Clayton "Snake" Gray got him right in front of me.Figured it couldn't hurt at that point to have a RB4 who is actually starting for his team.

Toefield is the handcuff if Taylor is hurt. If Taylor has no issues, Toefield is pretty worthless. Jones plays a minor role either way.

Bennett's a little overhyped right now, I didn't really like Jimmy Smith in the 5th, and I can't picture a scenario where you'd want to start Emmitt Smith in a start 2 RB league, but other than that I thought it was a very good draft. I can see myself taking the same guys with a lot of the same picks.
QB:Bulger, Brunell, MaddoxRB: DDavis, Suggs, Garner, DuckettWR: RMoss, RSmith, Givens, ADavis, BookerTE: BooWilliamsPK: Feely DEF: VikingsPicking from the 12 spot, I missed out on the top 10 RBs that I would have liked to get. Fortunately, Moss fell to me, so that was an easy pick in a pt/rec league. I passed on WR at the 3/4 turn to take 2 RBs who I think could both do very well in this scoring system (Suggs/Garner). After passing on RB2 early, I felt I had to shore up that position and get some depth. Since Suggs and Garner shared a bye week, I also snagged Duckett at the next turn. It's a quality 4-some, but lacks star power. Despite his age, Rod Smith should be the primary weapon in Denver this year, and I thought he was decent value at 6.01.Once I had Moss, I felt like he could make an average WR group look good, so I tried to build up the other positions. At the 7/8 turn, I was surprised to see Marc Bulger still available. Provided he can stay healthy behind that banged up O-line, he'll be productive. I also decided to lock up the TE I wanted in Boo as I think he can be a top-4 TE if he plays the whole season.Next turn I decided the WRs were drying up so I had to add some quality depth. I took David Givens and Andre Davis, and I think both should do well. Givens came on strong last year and Davis could be ready to break out with Garcia under center. I had serious concerns about Bulger's durability and gave some thought to taking Leftwich here, but I figured there'd still be decent QB value available later on.Next turn, I grabbed the guy who I thought was the best QB available in Brunell, along with a WR in Marty Booker that people may be writing off too soon. He could emerge as the possession WR in that offense this year, and Fiedler/Feeley don't exactly have the strongest of arms so Booker might see a lot of work once he gets comfortable.Next turn, I wanted to lock up Hollings as a handcuff to Domanick Davis, but he went 1 pick ahead of me. I switched gears and grabbed a 3rd QB in Maddox, and a solid WR in Kevin Johnson.Last turn, I grabbed the Vikings D and Feely, and I think both will do well this year.Overall, I imagine my starting lineups won't scare too many people. But, I have quality depth and should be able to take advantage of some matchups from week to week. It's not my favorite team, but I'm sure I'd be able to make it work for me if this were a real league.

I took Martin because he was the safest RB available and I knew I was going WR in the next two rounds. A reach according to VBD...yes. According to overall gameplan...no. If the draft allowed trading down I would have done so.Reaches:2.07 19 Koehler (ffweasel) Faulk, Marshall STL RB 2.11 23 LHUCKS Martin, Curtis NYJ RB 5.01 49 Smith's Goon Squad George, Eddie DAL RB :rotflmao: 5.03 51 Henderson Chambers, Chris MIA WR5.05 53 Henry Rogers, Charles DET WR 6.04 64 Gray Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR 7.12 84 Rudnicki Bulger, Marc STL QB 9.04 100 Wimer's Tabula Rasa Terrell, David CHI WR

Hey Aaron,I just found out that I will be drafting at 12 in an IDP draft next week and was curious to know if you could do it over if you would change anything? IE order you took certain positions etc?I realize that adding IDP's changes the way it roles out but wanted to know what you thought since it will be the first time I draft from this spot.Thanks..

BF - I value your opinion... please explain your Bennett opinion.You really think Bennett is overhyped at this point? My only concern with him is injury otherwise I'd put him at about 10 RB overall right now. That offense will score a ton of points this year. He is behind probably one of the top two O-lines in the league. He has major upside this year.
