Made a few trades to acquire the ability to move up to 2.4, and I went with Andre Johnson. By grabbing the 2.4, it allowed me to take Mendenhall at 2.3, without the 2.4, I would have chickened out and went with the top wideout. Almost went Stewart over AJ, to form a deadly trio at RB, but felt like an anchor at WR was needed. I also quickly considered Braylon over Mendenhall to pair with AJ, and that would have been nasty.

So far:

MJD, Mendenhall and Andre Johnson.

Next pick: 3.10, then 63, 82, 84 and 87.

With Mendy, Stewart, AJ and Braylon all available, what would you have done? (2 of the 4) to pair with MJD (who I chose over Reggie Bush)

Nothing personal, and everyone has their own rankings, but here is my criticism......First, I would not have chosen MJD over Bush in PPR.....Most fantasy leaguers are passing judgment on Bush way too early in his career thinking he will not amount to much.....What I see is a 300 pts scorer year in and year out.......1500+ total yds (conservative est.), 85+ rec, double-digit TDs.....pretty much every year barring injury.....

Next two picks would have been 2 dynamic WRs........Mendenhall may never produce as well as Braylon, Andre "2000", or Fitz in a PPR......So, B.E. and AJ would have been my selections

Starting off with Bush, AJ, and B.E., you could add your 2nd RB with the 3.10......like Turner, possibly Jamal, if you like him.....Or, if you are more of a risk-taker with the potential for a huge boom I'd take another WR at 3.10 like Chad, who is falling like a meteor, or Boldin......I've had two PPR drafts already this year, and RBs can be had with your picks in the 63-87 range, that's why if it were me with your arrangement of picks, I'd go with Bush (PPR dynamo) and 3 straight stud WRs and get some serviceable and/or youthful RBs later......

Oops - Drew 10x > Bush, AJ a complete stud and Mendehall 10x>B-Edwards

I'm not even in this league. But since you seem to be hellbent on keeping tabs on me, then let me give you an update.In '07 and '08 I had exactly 4 startup dynasty drafts, 2 of which I did apply this thinking and acquired Reg Bush with my 1st Rd pick, and Braylon in one of those leagues as well. There were 4 League Super Bowls in '08 and '09 for both leagues combined, 2 each, u follow.......I played in all 4, winning 3. You can PM me for the league links.

Or simply, keep it movin'.........BTW, please let me know the next league you are entering since you seem to want a piece of my action. I'll gladly come to you since you apparently didint want to come my way.....

Any new HA leagues on the horizon? I might be interested if 10 starters......
