4.14. Michael Vick, ATL, QB7, BYE 8

8.14. Matt Schaub, HOU, QB22, BYE 10

13.03 Chris Simms, TB, QB 33, BYE 10

---

Vick is great in this format and Schaub as a #2 means you offset much of the risk factor in taking the Houston QB. They should be a fine tandem; and you get a nice bonus with Schaub to Andre Johnson each week.

Simms is a non-factor as far as I can tell. Any reason why you took him?

B+/A-
I asked someone to take a QB any QB and that's what I got. No worries with Simms, ya just never know with sooooo many QB injuries and with Tampa having two young QBs trading one seems possible even.
1.03. Stephen Jackson, SL, RB3, BYE 9

5.03. Julius Jones, DAL, RB30, BYE 8

10.14 Chris Brown, UFA, RB49,

11.03 Michael Bush, ROOKIE, RB50

12.14 Brian Leonard, ROOKIE, RB56

---

Jackson will give you great numbers week to week, but I'm looking at the rest of your RB and am just lost. Julius Jones as your #2 guy? When he's fighting off MBIII at best and losing the starting job at worst? Seems risky. Then you follow that up with Chris Brown who hasn't been healthy in a while and two rooks. It seems like you had a nice easy road to a great RB core that just got completely mucked up by high risk picks.

B on S-Jax's back.
Why is Jones fending off Barber III? Everyone wants a main RB in Dallas except for the Cowboys. They were extremely successful running the ball in 06 and I doubt they change anything up in their platoon system. (With Jackson as RB1)I only need a smallish amount of points from my RB2 to outscore most FF starting RB tandems anyway. Chris Brown is a UFA and....ya never know. When he's "on" he's excellent but that's rare so as my backup in a survivior format he's kinda fun. In redraft he's a headache I probably would never draft but here I was thinking....why not take the risk? If he gets 125-150 one week plus Jax's #s that week I'll rock. If he gets 25 yards the next 3 weeks....well that's what Jones is for.Like Bloom and many others I'm "falling in love" with Brian Leonard. I have no clue if he'll be much in FF but he sure brings alot to the table. Bush should fall a smidge(over the better backs) and may actually go to a decent team like MJD and others have in years past. Roll of the dice as he could be a backup. If either rook produces OR if Brown lands some decent playing time in FA my backs are golden IMO.

2.14. Andre Johnson, HOU, WR8, BYE 10

3.03. Anquan Boldin, ARI, WR12, BYE 8

6.14. Kevin Curtis, PHI, WR36, BYE 5

7.03. Devery Henderson, NO, WR39, BYE 4

15.03 Roddy White, ATL, WR 82, BYE 8

20.14 Antonio Chatman, CIN, WR104, BYE 5

---

You made up for many of the RB issues here. Scoring Johnson and Boldin was excellent and then following up with Curtis and Henderson basically gave you two #1 FF scorers and two potential #2 FF scorers, whose floors are WR3 numbers. Roddy White and Chatman give you some solid depth to round out the core.

A
Pretty dreamy "ooh I hope he falls to me" over and over here, love this WR corps.
9.03. Owen Daniels, HOU, TE15, BYE 10

19.03 Dan Campbell, DET, TE32, BYE 6

---

The HOU and DET TE's. Why does that not inspire me with confidence? I think Daniels has potential considering the WR situation, but expecting anything more than TE 13-14 numbers from these two is pushing it.

D
I didn't pick Campbell but Jeff picked best available at the time and I needed a backup so...who cares it's one week a year really. FEW survivor teams will have their #2 TE outscore their #1TE and it's more of a bye week cover than depth when you walk it thru week to week. There's such a dramatic difference it's....it's just not 2 TEs but a starter and backup really.Owen is intriguing as all...

He was a 4th quarter and garbage time star in 06 and didn't do much when the true starters were in BUT I saw him anger alot of D cooridinators in that time and found that amusing. Why Kubiak didn't use him more in Qs 1-3 I don't know. Carr hasn't hit the TE too much since his rookie year so who knows. Schaub on the other hand had a "problem" of throwing to the TE too much in college as a panic button of sorts that scouts didn't seem to like too much and/or felt it was predictable. Ummm OK I'll take that(BTW college TE Miller?????) Daniels lines up in the slot, was once a QB and is a really weird TE that fascinates me. In a similar vein, there's no way creative Kubiak hasn't drawn up some plays just for him. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's a top ten TE in 07.

We can bump this and see, it's fun to disagree on players but a D grade is a D so....we'll see

16.14 New York Giants, DEF 24, BYE 9

17.03 Houston Texans, DEF26, BYE 10

---

Two DEF.

B
I love the G-men's D as their trio of DEs should be healthy for 07 and if they can work out a deal for Briggs that would be phenomenal.Mathis' return and Ryans+Mario enterring their 2nd year should make Houston the surprise ST/D in FF IMO.

14.14 Shayne Graham, CIN, PK 5, BYE 5

18.14 Phil Dawson, CLE, PK29, BYE 7

---

Two kickers

B
I love Graham for FF as there's little doubt in my mind that Cincy will score a boatload of points. Dawson is intriguing as that team's QB and RB's effectiveness are a Q so he might actually get a good amount of FG tries. I do not think I personally took Dawson so kudos to Jeff or whomever.
A high-scoring high-flying team that has a lot of ways to put up big points, but could struggle if Jackson hits a slump due to the complete lack of TE and RB2 options.

Overall Grade: B
Ya can't have everything, where would you put it? :thumbdown: I like this survivor team more than my others
 
Eval for Sigmund

5.06. Matt Leinart, ARI, QB9, BYE 88.11. Alex Smith, SF, QB21, BYE 6Im pretty happy here, but in hindsight, I might have been able to get Leinart at 6.11 - although Im excited about what Whisenhunt can do for that offense. Smith is universally underrated and should take a big step forward this year.
Leinart should progress nicely with all those weapons.Grade B
1.06. Shaun Alexander, SEA, RB6, BYE 86.11. Ladell Betts, WAS, RB35, BYE 412.11 Adrian Peterson, CHI, RB 54, BYE 910.11 Lorenzo Booker, ROOKIE, RB48,13.06 Kenny Irons, ROOKIE, RB 58,20.11 Marcel Shipp, ARI, RBreally late, BYE 8Couldnt pass on SA, not sure why he fell that far. I am fine with RB2BC in this format. Betts should be my safe 5-7 points a week guy with his pass catching and 10 or so touches a week with a TD here and there. Peterson should play a similar role in Chicago, and Shipp had a 3 TD game last year, gotta love that. Booker and Irons are swing for the fences picks, but I like my 3 headed backup RB at RB2 ok if I whiff on those picks. I especially like Booker because he's a home run threat and a great receiver.
SA is a solid #1 and the rest is RB2BC with some nice options like AP considering Benson can't stay healthy. You have 2 nice rookies also.Grade B-
2.11. Reggie Wayne, IND, WR6, BYE 63.06. Marques Colston, NO, WR15, BYE 47.06. Santonio Holmes, PIT, WR40, BYE 69.06. Brandon Jones, TEN, WR50, BYE 411.06 Demetrius Williams, BAL, WR62, BYE 819.06 Anthony Gonzalez, ROOK, WR 96Wayne and Colston mmm mmm good. Holmes and Jones will both start, and Williams is a great big play threat. I love my top 5 WR. Gonzo is ready to play in the slot already and should outperform some of the bigger name rookie WRs who went ahead of him.
Nice 1 2 punch with plenty of options for your WR 3Grade B+
4.11. Jeremy Shockey, NYG, TE5, BYE 918.11 Steve Heiden, CLE, TE32, BYE 7Shockey is annoying because he gets banged up, but when he's on, he can hang with anyone statistically. Heiden will catch 25-30 balls regardless and could be a huge steal if KWII isnt healthy. FYI, Cleveland just signed Heiden to a 4 year extension. They like him.
Not confident in Shockey at all. He just can't stay healthy and drops to many big balls. Heiden is a backup to a top tier TE that no one knows the status of.Grade B-/C+
14.11 Indianapolis, DEF13, BYE 615.06 NYJ, DEF 18, BYE 10How is Indy DEF13? Freeney and Sanders have to be healthier than they were last year, and the team constantly is ahead, allowing the D to attack, attack, attack! The jets have an underrated D, and Justin Miller returning kicks to boot. I just wanted a 2nd D with a late bye to help me get through the gauntlet.
No confidence in either defense. Grade C+
16.11 John Kasay, CAR, PK 17, BYE 717.06 Ryan Longwell, MIN, PK20, BYE 5Kickers. Whatever. I have two.
These kickers are average at best.Grade COverall this team will have to be carried by your WRs.Grade C+/B-
 
Interesting information about RB stuff and so forth....I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's a top ten TE in 07.We can bump this and see, it's fun to disagree on players but a D grade is a D so....we'll see
Thanks for the feedback. I critique in part to get a better understanding of why people did it a certain way. As for the Owen Daniels thing specifically, I didn't know that about Schaub. What I had known about Daniels was he was a great garbage time producer that was virtually invisible for some games. Now I have a better idea of a possible use for him this year. We can indeed see how good Daniels is later this year. :thumbup:

6.09. Tony Romo, DAL, QB12, BYE 8

9.08. Chad Pennington, NYJ, QB25, BYE 10

---

Romo has potential and put up decent numbers once he became the starter. I expect him to finish in the top 12 this year at worst. Penny is a nice QB who if healthy can help cover Romo's off weeks / byes.

B-, Romo is a big boost. :bowtie:

13.08 Mewelde Moore, MIN, RB 59, BYE 5

19.08 Tony Hunt, ROOK, RB68

---

This group looked a lot better in pieces, put together I actually see a lot of risk here. Addai wasn't exactly the healthiest back in college and at the moment it looks like he'll be carrying the rock a lot this season. Benson finally got the job by trading away the competition after failing to capitalize on a bunch of opportunities. Oh, and he gets nicked up pretty often. LenWhale White was a good safety guy to grab even if he isn't the starter at the beginning of the season he should get 5-6 points a game just by splitting carries. Moore is meh as long as Taylor is in Minny and no idea on Hunt.

A lot of solid guys, but there's little upside to any of these WR other than Lelie. What you see is what you'll get here. If CJ goes to TB, Clayton is a memory and as it stands he's done terrible the last two seasons. I do agree on that general point that Ward/Brown/Glenn are a decent bunch of guys though, so who knows how much of that depth you'll actually need. You may end up with 3 guys in the 20-30 range from your first 3 picks.

The WR core is your major strength. This team will be fine if the RB's work out, but I have doubts. The team grade would've been higher if you had even one TE that was the unquestioned guy there.

 
I'm going to do my evals in one big swoop. No punches pulled. I may be my rocker here, but I'm not going to grade every team as B+ to B- team. *I finish the evals tomorrow or Saturday.*

Wraith, you're going to need a horseshoe up your wahzoo if you wan't to survive week 7. You have your top 2 RBs and top WR on the same bye. IF, and say if, you can get past that...you can be a survivor. Your QBs are solid. Your RBs have some ? marks after the #1 overall pick. TBell or Norwood could be money or could be busts. It's a gamble, you hedged that gamble with JLewis, but I don't see Lewis as the same back that rushed for 2K a few years back. Your WRs should keep you in the game, if Walker takes a lead role or a #2 in NE. I'm high on Roy Williams. Moulds was a busted pick. Your TEs are a bust. Watson is overhyped and Wiggins has Lewis and Wrightster to complete with. Your D and Ks are meh. Out of the #1 spot, your team should be a contender, but...I don't see it.

You really gambled at your backup QB. Hasselbeck will be solid, but even the best QBs lay a dud once in a while. You bet the farm on Culpepper. A few bad games from Matt, and a Pepper riding the pine and you're toast. You nabbed what could be the best RB combo in the league. This is your saving grace. Your backups have a shot at points, and where you got them they were bargains. At WR, you took the next greatest superstar in Evans. But he's still boom or bust. You added nice depth and should be OK at the spot. Your TEs are solid, and I think you wen't overkill with Royals in the 17th, when you could have had a Carr or similiar to shore up the backup QB spot. You really messed up by not taking a second kicker. Your team will have to get lucky to overcome the Hasselbeck off days and/or taking a 1-3 point day from your kicker.

Your QBs are a major strength. Simms was overkill (especially with the same bye week as Schaub). SJax is money and JJones will give you consistant points (not major points, but at least 8 a week). No depth at the backup RBs. Unless you know where they go, this was a gamble that may bite your ### on your top RBs bye week. Where you got them, you got good value at WR. You should have no problems (other than weeks 5 and 8) with this squad. Your TE are ugh. Daniels has a new QB, and has never shown much on a consistant week to week basis. Campbell is afterthought in the offense as Detroit usually dumps off to their FB instead of TE. Don't like your Ds. NYG is an aging group that didn't perform well last year, while Houston is Houston and teams will score on them like their still a 1st year franchise. I don't usually eval kickers, but I really like yours. Graham kicks for a top O, and Dawson has been money when the team can get inside the 30. You have a top team with questions at TE and D. If your team has the ability or luck to withstand byes, your starting lineup is good.

Brady is money and should be a top 6 QB in '07. I understand why you went with a QB3 (bye week issue). That said, your QB is stacked. Your RBs are solid. Westbrook is money and CT is underrated. Droughns is a gamble where you took him, but where you took him, a decent gamble. You backed him up with Faulk, and the only thing that could eff up this solid RB core is if Minny gets AP at #7. Housh will give you monster days, after Housh, meh. Old man Bruce can only be putting up so many 1000 yard seasons before he's dust, same with Mason. Battle was a good pick as was McMullen. Caldwell will be a busted pick. Your WRs are a weakness and could be a strength if Bruce or Mason have a good year, but I wouldn't bank on it. At TE, you have Crumpler, Ron Mexio's safety value. Good pick. 3 defs will offset the fact that none are top notch. Your kickers are questionable, but in your defense, you did grab 2. I like your team. If you can survive week 5 and either Bruce/Mason becomes a player...you have a contending team.

You really pulled this team together nicely after going WR in rounds 2, 3, 4. Your QBs are nothing to get excited about, but are very servicable in this format. You let your RB2 go and found a gem in round 6. Your backup RBs should keep you from getting zeros from that spot. I don't what to say about your WRs, other than you have the best in the league, bar none. If you had a second defense, you'd have the team to beat. That was your only mistake. A DEF at 16.12, and a kicker in a later round would have worked better. Still, if you can get away with one defense on their bye and bad weeks, your team is stacked.

I see two gambles that will make or break this team. I'm not sold on Betts. If Portis is healthy, I don't envision many points coming out of your RB2. Sure, Betts may give you a steady 5-8 every week, but the rest of your team will have to produce to offset the fact that your RB2 spot won't put up big numbers all year, unless Portis is hurt. The other gamble is a TE. A healthy Shockey gives you a monster, but keep in mind as a former Shockey owner, he has the ability to go huge one week to nothing the next. And if he has an off week, you gambled with Heiden. Heiden's #s are tied to KWIII. A healthy KWIII, and not many points from your TE2. A broken KWIII, and you have the steal of the draft. That said, your QBs are more than solid. Your WRs are second only to Duckboy. You have 2 underrated defenses and 2 decent kickers. Most teams have some sort of issues, and if your gambles pay off, a contender.

While not the greatest, your QB duo should play. One of the best RB groups in the league, if not the best. Addai and Bensen will carry this team. No studs at WRs, but no duds, either. You already know about your TE position. A make or break position for your team. Scheffler in the 7th was a huge reach and one that may bite you in the rump. You backed up that pick with another gamble with Olsen. You're gambling that Olsen is a mid to late 1st rounder that lands in an ideal situation. We'll know later. Olsen may become your TE1, or be splitting time with a vet (then you'd have 2 TEs splitting time). In a 2 pt per TE league, I feel you would have been better off hedging your gamble with a Kris Magnum or Jeb Putzier in round 20 instead of a 7th WR, who will probably never hit the scoreboard any week for your team. 2 DEFs, 2 Ks.

Big time mistake at QB. McNair isn't the same QB as 5 years ago and is IMO a QB2 in this format. You backed him with a rookie and nothing else. Ouch. Your RBs are the strength of your team, and even though you been applauded for grabbing Robinson, you didn't need him with 3 RBs that will play. I don't know what you were trying to do with your WRs. Grab every rookie and hope one becomes Moss, Glenn, or Boldin. McDonald in the 20th may save this group. Best TE grouping in the league will help offset ups and downs from your rookie WR staff. Best kickers of our league, but still just kickers (never know when they'll hit). I believe where you messed up is in rounds 9 and 10. A safer QB2 in 9 or 10 would have been a better play. You're going to see a lot of spikes and drops with team. IMO that's not a good strategy in a survivor format.

You'll get great QB play. Your RBs scare me a little. I think Edge is fading fast and some of his success was due to a decent OL in Indy. Portis can't stay healthy and might see a reduced role this year. The backups all have big ?s as of now. The Moss-Curry move was a big risk IMO and are backed by some old foggies. I think this is where you blew it. If Moss isn't traded, Curry's value goes kerplunk. Set at TE, Def, and kicker. There are too many ifs, ands, and buts to like your team to compete. I think a 3rd RB earlier and a WR at 7 from a different team, would have made your squad safer.

There's not much to dislike about your team. The only thing that could sting is if McNabb doesn't throw in at least 14 games or more. Steal of Taylor in the 6th set your team up nicely as the backup RBs should contribute in the year as well. Givens at 15.11 was also a theft. A good DEF in SF. One of the best kickers last year in Gould. A TE group like no other. Maybe a flier on a 3rd QB instead of Stovall in 19. This is looking like the team to beat.

Well, I know why you drafted 7 WRs. Which is the stud? You have the best QB in the game and 3 RBs who will play. But you did so at the expense of the WR slot. Ballsy move, considering it's a start 3 league. Even if one gets hot for a week, the others may garner jack for your team. Decent TEs, but you paid full value at the spots you took them. Your defs are rock solid and you have 2 kickers. In hindsight, you could have grabbed some better wideouts in rounds 5 and 6 and still had a shot of drafting FTaylor as a 3rd RB in front of valence. The 1st bad Manning performance and I think you're toast.

Now I know every team has to take a risk here and there, but did you have to do it at every position? At QB, you have some guys that can go 4 TDs and 1 INT one week and 1 TD with 4 INTs the very next. At RB, Jacobs has never carried the load before ever. Will he see 300+ touches? Will KJones play? At WR, you have Ocho and then? Winslow is a KJones deja vu. So you backed him up with Chris Baker...ugh. Way, way, way too many things have to fall into place to see this team contending.

Not a sexy looking team, but a team that has the guys to survive for a while. Pitt-KC QB rotation is OK. I like McGahee in Baltimore, but Deuce splits and Washington is a change of pace. Like I said, not sexy, but points to be had. 4 vets at WR mixed with some youngsters is good looking group. Witten-Romo connection looked money last year. Chicago's DEF is the unversial #1 def drafted. Big, big mistake not getting a backup defense. Even the monsters of the midway can and will put up a dud game from time to time. I see this squad as one that will continually outscore the lowest score, but never be one of the highest scoring teams. Let's see how long you'll be able to survive once the little dogs are gone.

I believe I've already talked a lot about your squad. It's tied to one guy. MTurner. We'll see how you look after next weekend. What happened to your 2nd TE? The WR corps look a little raggedy as well. I like the 3 DEF move, but not at the expense of 1 TE. I also think you missed at WR at those rounds. We'll see what happens to Turner. If nothing, you may be week 2 fodder.

From drafting from the 16 hole, I think you pretty well. Stacked at QB. I think Barber will be a factor in 2007 and it was a good gamble regardless of the grief of some others. Maybe it would've looked better with Maroney at 1.16 and Barber at 2.01? LOL. You better hope Marion performs as a 1st rounder, because your backup RBs suck. Your WRs should play. Nice TE handcuff with Utech. Too bad you didn't select a starting TE in round 20 (there were some out there). A decent def and a bad defense. 3 kickers, if Carney plays. It's probably a good thing you took a third one in 19. You shored up a starting lineup, but you have no team depth, which will be your downfall.

Ruthlessburger should do very well for you this year. In this format he scores far more points than most people would think considering all the things that happened to him last season. Not sold on Huard on Croyle being all that useful, but one of them will be starting so that counts for something.

Not sold on McGahee because of his attitude and running issues, but for the sake of discussion I'll assume he's at least a top 20 guy. Deuce has actually outscored or put up similar numbers to McGahee's best in this scoring format pretty much every year he was healthy. So we assume you have two solid RB starters. After that, you've got a guy who had a 8.8PPG last year before Jones arrived. Buckhalter is only good for the 2-3 games Westbrook sits out. Like there's absolutely no depth here to cover byes or injuries. We're also all under the assumption that Deuce keeps his current pace of production while sharing with Bush.

Too many assumptions and 'must break my way' for my liking. In a way this is like my RB corps, but I got 2 better scorers as my #1 and 2 and guys that should be producing each week. if you can't get great value or get a lead on a sleeper, you need depth.

Steve Smith is huge. Santana Moss and Galloway are good for 6-8 weeks of explosiveness from each guy in this format, since it'll be hard for Campbell to be worse than Ramsey or Brunell. Then we've got Toomer who's coming off injury and been a WR3 at best in PPR, Henry who is suspended and possibly one of the worst in the WR rook class. Hagan is valuable depth, because right now you don't have any here. Kind of a theme.

QB is average and nothing to write home about, the running back position has depth issues and the same with your WR core. Your team really has no major strength to write home about and I just can't see you lasting through bye weeks or injuries.

Excellent QB set-up. Bulger is practically a lock for the top 5 any year he can play 14 games or more. Nabbing his back-up in rd 20 was a fine call. Losman has potential and Evans to chuck the ball too, I wouldn't count on him as a number one, but as a back-up to Bulger he'll be excellent since you'll only see his few blow-up games.

Portis should bounce back enough to make it into the top 12 RB again. It's risky though, because now Wash knows they've got a perfectly viable pass-catching RB in Betts so I wouldn't be shocked if they pull him for a period of time if he gets knicked up at all. Edge is a great 2nd RB if you get the 2nd half of the year Edge and AP doesn't show up in AZ. If AP does, then Edge is probably done. If he doesn't, then your looking at a decent #2 who fluctuates off and on from great to average.

Ricky Williams could be alright, but who knows if he'll be starting anywhere in even a split-back role. Last I heard STL wanted him as a back-up to S-Jax. Dillion has yet to land anywhere and Shaud Williams is a ?.

B-, bump it up to a B if Dillion lands somewhere that has a shot at making the playoffs.

Buress is a serviceable #1, but then you tied your WR#2 position to the Raidas. Wow. I'll say this, you've got far more guts than I would in taking any of them. Moss will be his usual unproductive self, but if the Raiders pick up a QB with an arm and he cares, he could put up decent numbers. Curry has talent and an excellent work ethic, but no way to show himself off. Engram and Smith are both old, but could throw up a couple of usable games. Nice longshot on Perry, he has good value if he wins the #3 slot until Henry comes back.

C-, if moss gets traded, bump it up to a B+, since you'll then have legit #1, #2 and #3 not all connected to the Raiders QB.

The QB scoring from this team I expect to be huge week in and week out. The RB's will throw up decent numbers along with the TE's, but after that... The WR core is all over the place and if Moss stays in the Raiders you have the #1 and #2 on a very weak passing team. Great things lie ahead if he does go to GB, but otherwise your going to have major problems getting consistent scoring from that position.

Your QBs should be decent and you didnt overpay.Man lots of ?s at RB. Benson and Addai have never carried the load for an entire season. I like the risk/reward ratio where you got White. Hunt was a savvy late pick. This RB corps could be one of the best, could be one of the worst.

WRs are excellent and should be one of the best in the league. Nice use of late picks on Lelie, Clayton and Wilford to fill gaps. Higgins might have been overkill.

Scheffler should be fine, he and Cutler ere on the same page late last year. Olsen could contribute, but likely later than earlier.

This team has a good chance to go deep as long as Benson and Addai earn their draft position. One of the best drafts, little that I would change.

Romo has potential and put up decent numbers once he became the starter. I expect him to finish in the top 12 this year at worst. Penny is a nice QB who if healthy can help cover Romo's off weeks / byes.

This group looked a lot better in pieces, put together I actually see a lot of risk here. Addai wasn't exactly the healthiest back in college and at the moment it looks like he'll be carrying the rock a lot this season. Benson finally got the job by trading away the competition after failing to capitalize on a bunch of opportunities. Oh, and he gets nicked up pretty often. LenWhale White was a good safety guy to grab even if he isn't the starter at the beginning of the season he should get 5-6 points a game just by splitting carries. Moore is meh as long as Taylor is in Minny and no idea on Hunt.

A lot of solid guys, but there's little upside to any of these WR other than Lelie. What you see is what you'll get here. If CJ goes to TB, Clayton is a memory and as it stands he's done terrible the last two seasons. I do agree on that general point that Ward/Brown/Glenn are a decent bunch of guys though, so who knows how much of that depth you'll actually need. You may end up with 3 guys in the 20-30 range from your first 3 picks.

2 kickers. Congrats.

Overall: B-

The WR core is your major strength. This team will be fine if the RB's work out, but I have doubts. The team grade would've been higher if you had even one TE that was the unquestioned guy there.
And from Pigskin Pimp:While not the greatest, your QB duo should play. One of the best RB groups in the league, if not the best. Addai and Bensen will carry this team. No studs at WRs, but no duds, either. You already know about your TE position. A make or break position for your team. Scheffler in the 7th was a huge reach and one that may bite you in the rump. You backed up that pick with another gamble with Olsen. You're gambling that Olsen is a mid to late 1st rounder that lands in an ideal situation. We'll know later. Olsen may become your TE1, or be splitting time with a vet (then you'd have 2 TEs splitting time). In a 2 pt per TE league, I feel you would have been better off hedging your gamble with a Kris Magnum or Jeb Putzier in round 20 instead of a 7th WR, who will probably never hit the scoreboard any week for your team. 2 DEFs, 2 Ks.

I find it fascinating how many very different opinions of my WR and RB groups there are.

I honestly felt I had one of the strongest groups of both of them, but lacked at QB, and sucked badly at TE.

For those questioning the RB's: Addai and Benson are both assured of being starters on quality teams. Addai right now is predicted as a top ten. While both carry some injury risk, it's reasonable to assume one should go all year.

Lendale White is the starter in Tennessee right now. While he may not be able to keep that role, he will still see significant action. Since Tennessee has many other glaring needs, I can't see them going RB too early in the draft. I think White is the opening day starter.

Moore is the third down back, and sees action in virtually every game. 3 or 4 times a year, he'll post a big game, and generally catches 3 or 4 balls every game.

With three starters, an active third down back, and a rookie who is a strong inside runner (RE:GOAL LINE BACK), I'm struggling to see how this is a risky group.

For those questioning WR's: I have two guys who are their teams #1, and FOUR more #2's. I'm really high on Brown (I think he has top ten potential), and most are high on Ward. Glenn is AT WORST a quality #3 in this format. Except for Higgins, all of these guys will see the field.... a lot! Where I got Lelie and Clayton, there is a ton of upside, and little or no risk involved. There's a couple of guys who might be stronger at #1 and #2 WR, but I don't see many teams that can reasonably be considered stronger at #3, 4, 5, or even 6. If all of these guys perform only to ADP...it should still be an above average group.

I screwed up at TE. Scheffler was a mistake. Olsen was a risk. In hindsight, I should have grabbed another TE in the final round as Higgins is a longshot, especially with my other WR's.

My thought is that as long as 2 of my first three RB's remain starters and healthy, and Romo does as expected (QB10 area), my receivers will carry me far.

I'm not trying to argue with anyone's evaluation of my team. Your opinion is yours, and MOST opinions are valid this early in the season....but it is funny how they differ a good bit on this one team.

20.12 Kenny Watson, CIN, RB73, BYE 5

Gore is money if he stays healthy. Some questions about Dunn's usage but a good pick in the 6th. Rhodes should get some if not share significant time (thought the OAK RB situation isn't great). Pittman and Watson (not trusting Perry to be back) will get some decent weeks just based on receptions. A lot will depend on Gore's health. Would have liked to get more depth but the value wasn't there. Grade B-

19.05 Steve Smith, ROOK, WR95

Can't say enough about the top 3 here - all should challenge for top 10 overall if not higher. Booker is more stable (mostly bye week coverage) and the other 3 are hit or miss but could end up scoring with a couple big weeks. Grade A

5.05. Chris Cooley, WAS, TE7, BYE 4

12.12 Marcedes Lewis, JAC, TE 24, BYE 4

17.05 Zach Miller, ROOK, TE30

Cooley was money at the end of the year with Campbell playing. Lewis is a decent upside play; unfortunately the byes matched up, so Miller will hopefully get some pts Week 4 (plus has upside as well). Grade B+

15.05 Atlanta, DEF 17, BYE 8

One defense, and not a great one (though not bottom of the barrel either). Defenses tend not to carry the day though, so hopefully this won't bite too bad. Grade C-

14.12 Nate Kaeding, SD, PK4, BYE 7

16.12 Stephen Gostkowski, NE, PK 18, BYE 10

Two top PKs but yeah, 2 Ks. Grade B+

Overall thoughts: Three things happened that had a disastrous effect on the team -

1) Bye weeks came out, and my 3 top picks (none in the same division at all) all pulled the same bye week. Forced my hand in Rounds 10 and 11 to pick up a couple more WRs just to cover (too late for RBs with depth depleted then).

2) Managed to pick up a 2nd TE with the same bye week as my first, forcing taking a 3rd instead of depth at other positions.

3) Went out of town and left lists (again thanks BK and Sig for covering that). Sig's list had a couple of TEs (one gone by my pick) then a slew of DEF. Had I known that DEF would fly that fast, would have adjusted my list and grabbed one there, knowing I could likely have gotten Miller on the way back again. Them's the breaks though.

Even with those mini-hiccups, I feel I have a pretty strong team. Others seem to have as much or more bye issues in week 6. Assuming Gore and DJax stay healthy, my core is pretty strong and should give me a shot to stay in until the end, assuming that Week 6 doesn't hang me. Overall grade B+

I like the Qb combo, but you might be in for a wild ride as both are likely to be boom or bust guys. I suspect between them you'll see more boom weeks though. You're dead if LT goes down, because you've got next to nothing behind him. I like how your WR's started, but there doesn't seem to be enough behind them either. The rest of the squad looks average. If LT stays healthy, and at last years productivity, you should make it past midseason, but I think you'll need a good result from A. Bryant and Moulds to survive much past there.

A lot of risk at QB with Culpepper...seems like you would have wanted another QB. I love the RB corps. There's at least a fair chance Thomas opens as the starter in Buffalo. Not excited about the WR's though as Chambers seems to consistanty underwhelm lately. I have a hard time seeing any of your deeper recievers posting many good games. You probably have one of the strongest TE corps, but only one kicker?

Overall, I am having trouble seeing this team much past the mid-point, and could be gone much earlier with any injuries. Just too much risk.

Qb's are uninspiring, but with three you should post a decent score there most weeks. It's nice to have Jackson at RB, but the depth is scary. You need either Bush or Leonard to see some good field time to make them work. Reciever is a point of strength on this squad, with the best 1/2 punch in the league, and high upside on the next three. TE's are a little weak, but workable. Even if Bush or Leonard don't land in a good situation, this team should go fairly deep. If either can become a starter somewhere, this could quickly become the team to beat.

Gotta love Brady in this format. Would have like to have seen a bit better backup, but starting QB's are not a dime a dozen in these things. Only four RB's means some risk, but you have 3 who currently should be starters, and a fourth who will see time in most games as a change-up/third down back. When your WR2 is an aging Bruce...well, that doesn't look too pretty. Mason and/or Caldwell should provide some stability, but aren't likely to light up the scoreboard big very often. Battle may be the key to the WR corps...you need him to step it up. Crumpler's one of the safest and best TE's. Three DEF's means you'll get solid scores there almost every week. If the RB's all stay healthy starters, and at least one WR over-produces, this team could make it past mid-season, but I'm seeing an early exit right now.

Does Farve have one more good season in him? I don't personally think so, but Campbell has a ton of potential, so I don't think you're hurting too bad there. Gore's a stud as long as he's healthy, and I like Rhodes to start for Oakland. Overall , RB's are average at best, but don't carry as much risk because of decent depth. You've got solid WR starters, but some risk on the backups. ON the plus side, all your WR backups have good upside, so it's not unreasonable to expect at least one of them to pan out. I actually like your TE tandom a lot. Neither is a stud, but both should score regularly, which is more then most of us can say about our TE's...you're good there. ONe defense could hurt. Overall, this team could end up finishing almost anywhere, although I think it needs too many things to go right to stick to the very end.

I'm high on A. Smith this year. I think he "get's it". Not sure the Arizona line let's Leinart produce consistantly. Most likely you get a few really great weeks from your QB's, and a couple really bad weeks as well. I like the depth at RB, but you'll need one of these guys to catch on more then we can predict right now. It seems like you're banking on Holmes or B. Jones to outperform his ADP to help carry the WR squad. Not an unreasonable gamble, especially with one of the league's better 1/2 punches and the high upside D. Williams to boot. I'm having a hard time predicting a finish for this squad. It seems one or two nice breaks could keep this team in it all the way to the end, but without those breaks it could be a very early exit.

Palmer's gold. Frye's, well...not. Quinn is nice insurance against Frye assuming Cleveland drafts him. I like the RB's, but hate that there's only four of them. I like Owens and Stallworth at WR, but I don't know where to rank Horn right now, and K. Johnson will rarely post a big game (but he'll prevent any zeros) TE's are ok. I can't see too many high scores for this team, but as long as BUsh is healthy it will likely survive 5-8 weeks because I don't see a ton of real low scores either. If Bush goes down, it could mean an early exit.

I'd feel better knowing for sure that Russell opens the year as a starting QB. Even if he is though, I don't see too many big games from McNair any more. Solid first two RB's, but I'm not sold on the backups at all. I like the WR's, but you'll need one of the rookies to see significant time to help you through the byes/injuries. TE's are one of the best tandems in the league. This is a gambling team that with a couple of breaks could easily go far. More likely it exits early. Either way, it won't be an average squad once the season get's rolling.

I really like the QB's. Rb's are average, but the impending retirement of Dillon leaves you without any depth. WR's seem average also, but there's enough veteran depth to carry this squad through the earlier rounds of boots. The TE"s are one of the league's better tandems. This squad seems destined to fall during one of the bye weeks.

I think McNabb may be the #1 QB this year. All four RB's will see field time, but none are likely to be studly. There's some upside in WR's 4, 5, 6, but I'm having a hard time seeing these guys carrying the byes. Gonzo is great at TE. If this squad can survive the byes with the questionable depth, it will contend.

The leagues safest QB. Would be nice to have a backup, but likely doesn't matter. If Brown can perform close to potential, you're ok at RB....maybe even good depending on Peterson. You were slow at WR, but made up for it in volume. More importantly, most of those guys have some upside. Average TE quality, but with two average starters, production there should be ok. The more I look at this squad, the more I like it. It's reasonable to expect one or two of those WR's to pan out. If they do, this should be one of the final teams standing.

I have to say that I wasn't sold on ELi when the Giants traded for him, and I'm still not sold on him. The RB's have upside, but there's no depth to make up for the lack of sure things at the postion. Jackson as #2 WR? I like the upside potential of Bennett/Jarett/Copper, but you'll need two of the three to hit to make any nise in this league. I like Winslow a lot, but with the injury risk he carries, Baker is no real insurance. This team will need a couple of breaks to go past the first few boots.

Three likely QB starters means good production at QB. Probably could have foregone Jackson in favor of more depth elswhere. Starting RB's look weak, but you have some depth so they shouldn't kill you. Gates is great but no backup? No true #1 WR, and WR by a relatively shallow committee. With three QB's, and 3 DEF's, the lack of depth at WR and TE will spell doom for this squad...midseason at the latest.

ONe of the leagues best QB combos. Solid RB starters, not enough behind them. Solid WR starters, but not in love with their backups. They just don't seem to have enough upside. MArginal TE's, but the third TE provides some safety. This is another squad likely to survive the first boots, but not likely to live through many bye weeks.
 
Ren-

I'm not going to quote your response as it'd be a waste of space, but it looks like we are dead on our thoughts about your team. The only difference of opinion I have is concerning Reggie Brown. I'm definately not as high on him as you are, but we'll see how the season goes. McNabb is like Brady, he spreads it around and doesn't have a go to guy (one of the reasons TO and him clashed).

If, and big IF, Olsen can become a top ten TE, your team is money. Your weakness is at TE and QB2.

I don't get the if they stay healthy comments about your RBs. You can say that about any football player. It's a violent sport. All I know is that TJones and DRhodes are gone, and your top RBs are looking dang good IMO.

That said...I hope you get bounced in week 2, so I won't have to compete against you.

To be honest I'm not worried about Addai all that much. Benson however has suffered a major ligament strain, shoulder injury and sprained MCL in a 2 year span. His health to me is an issue based on those events and I combine this issue with his inability to win the job straight from Thomas Jones while he was there. These factors give me pause from giving him this slam-dunk solid RB2 that seems to be the status quo at the moment. Will he get the touches to be a major factor? Yes. Will he get nicked up and miss games? A legitimate concern to me. Other players I'd have injury concerns about have at least shown to put up high quality numbers when healthy. Benson? Not so much. Hopefully that explains my criticism better.

---

Bush, Williams and Jordan will all get their due with the carries they'll get. I have worries about the entire CAR running game, but Jordan should offset that nicely. As long as the Raiders upgrade their plays to Madden 01 from Tecmo Bowl this is a fine RB trio to go into the season with. Not a ton of depth, but 3 effective starters is better than most teams ended up with.

19.07 Justin McCareins, NYJ, WR96, BYE 10

---

T.O. barring a mental blow-out is as close to a mortal lock at top 10 you can have. Stallworth should excel with Brady passing him the ball. Joe Horn and Keyshawn aren't exactly impressive anymore, but one of the two should step up and be a valid #3 for the group. All the double-digit picks taken on Minn receivers were solid choices just because of the potential involved.

Quantity doesn't necessarily equal quality, but it's less damaging at the TE position than the others, so you might be able to pull it off. Plus I like Troupe a lot and was targeting him before you snagged him... so I have some faith in his upside this season.

Valance

4.06. Donovan McNabb, PHI, QB4, BYE 5

9.11. Byron Leftwich, JAC, QB26, BYE 4

---

McNabb is great when healthy, pretty obvious when you consider what he was on pace for last season. In this format Leftwich is also viable. Of course this combination has one big problem, neither QB may be standing by week 9. This QB combination offered probably the best value of anyone w/ only 2 QB, but that's little comfort when they're both on IR.

Would be an A on pure scoring potential and PPG, but it seems unlikely they both make it a full season.

B due to depth / who the hell is starting if you do make it to the last quarter of the season.

1.11. Rudi Johnson, CIN, RB11, BYE 5

8.06. Deshaun Foster, CAR, RB40, BYE 7

11.11 Chris Perry, CIN, RB 52, BYE 5

---

Rudi is mr. consistent. Always find a way to somehow finish in the top 12 of scoring. If Fred Taylor can repeat even 2/3rds of the season from last year, he was value where you got him. Even with sharing the load more with MJD, I expect him to get at least 7-800 yards w/ 4-5 TD's. Foster is a pretty average running back and a often injured #3 for FF. In survivor formats he's fine and should prevent most doughnuts, but if Williams is healthy, I doubt he finishes in the top 30 RB again.

15.11 David Givens, TEN, WR84, BYE 4

19.11 Maurice Stovall, TB, WR 97, BYE 10

---

Fitz, Branch and Muhammad were all fine picks for where you got them. Drew Carter is a nice guy to have for the 3-4 weeks he throws up 12 points or more. Bowe, Givens and Stovall were all low-risk picks for the double digit rounds. This group isn't really top heavy other than Fitz, but has a lot of solid producers and people with enough talent to gain more attention.

This team could go deep if McNabb or Leftwich can make it through a full season intact and Fred Taylor plays up to expectations. WR and TE aren't an issue at all for you. Hopefully I get lucky and you go out on week 5 while McNabb and Rudi are on bye instead of me. :cry:

Hey, I appreciate that you took the time to evaluate every team. Seriously, I like reading those kinds of things - if for no other reason than to see other people's takes on various players and strategies.So please understand when you read the following that I am not coming down on you at all - rather, just pointing out one area where we disagree - which I would think you'd appreciate since that is one of the ideas behind evaluating everyone's teams...to facilitate discussion and analysis.That being said, I disagree with some of your analysis as it isn't always consistent - so it is tough to say what I agree with and what I don't agree with.Since I realize that last sentence of mine seems quite arbitrary, I will explain below with a few examples.Let's take a look at what you said about some people's RB squads.1) Westbrook, C.Taylor, Droughns, K.Faulk - and you ranked his RBs as "solid."2) Addai, Benson, L.White, M.Moore, T.Hunt - and you indicated "one of the best RB groups in the league."3) W.Parker, Caddy, Lynch, M.Morris, M.Robinson - and you said that "RBs are the strength of this team."4) Portis, Edge, Ricky, Dillon, S.Williams - and you said that his "RBs scare me"I guess we just disagree because team 2 above has 2 real starters and a hope of White being the Tennessee starter when all the dust finally settles. And you think that is one of the best RB squads in the entire league.But team 4 who has 2 real starters and also some hope (hope of Ricky coming back and eating some carries wherever he lands, hope that Dillon just lands anywhere and doesn't retire given his goal-line abilities (I believe 14 rushing TDs last year), scares you).If we remove the hopes, backups, etc - and just focus on the real starters for a second...Team 2: Addai & Benson - and you believe is great.Team 4: Portis & Edge - and you believe basically stinks.That just doesn't make sense to me.Or what about team 3 above - W.Parker is good.But Caddy couldn't break 800 yards last year on over 200 carries. And managed only 1 td in 14 games. And that is his RB2 - and you think RBs are a strength of his team.In order for RBs to be a strength of his team he needs to hope Caddy returns to his #s from before last year AND hope that Lynch lands in a favorable situation AND that if Lynch does get onto a favorable team that he does well there given it is his first NFL exposure AND that the news about Parker getting fewer carries this year isn't true.For a team to have to hope for that much - I don't get how you call his RBs a strength.But I guess that is why I do like reading evals - get to see where you disagree with people (and by how much).So again, I do appreciate that you took the time to go through every team. :D I just disagree in some places with your analysis. :bye:

Interesting feedback HTF. I think you asked a good question. Not sure there is a right answer. What's great about FF and these drafts is the diversity of talent evaluation and strategies we see in a 16 team survivor like this. If we all saw things the same way then it would be very boring. Besides, we all know I'm right. :shrug:

Three likely QB starters means good production at QB. Probably could have foregone Jackson in favor of more depth elswhere. Starting RB's look weak, but you have some depth so they shouldn't kill you. Gates is great but no backup? No true #1 WR, and WR by a relatively shallow committee. With three QB's, and 3 DEF's, the lack of depth at WR and TE will spell doom for this squad...midseason at the latest.
First...thanks to all the evals done. I know they're time consuming but they are good to read. I've been unavailable so I haven't had time to bash my own team.Some of the bye weeks were wrong...Kitna/Cutler shared a bye week so that's why I had to redo my plan again and pick Jackson as my 3rd QB (at the expense of other positions). My RBs and team are pinned on Turner. Doesn't look great now but there's still hope he's moved on draft day. With that situation not moving forward, I opted for Dayne instead of another WR, as I felt he could provide me with more points rather than hoping for some arbitrary score from WR100 or so.

I had hoped to fill in my squad with 7-8 WRs to help offset the lack of any studs, but things just kept going in the wrong directions for me. I don't really like going with just Gates but I had other holes to fill most of the draft and by the time I was looking for backup TEs, I felt any remaining TEs just wouldn't provide any scoring above Gates. Sure the 0 sucks on the bye week but I'd only be looking at 3-4 points from a backup anyway and just felt I could other players that might score multiple weeks for me.

I believe I've already talked a lot about your squad. It's tied to one guy. MTurner. We'll see how you look after next weekend. What happened to your 2nd TE? The WR corps look a little raggedy as well. I like the 3 DEF move, but not at the expense of 1 TE. I also think you missed at WR at those rounds. We'll see what happens to Turner. If nothing, you may be week 2 fodder.
Yup...this draft went horribly awry for me and I just never found my "place/rhythm" in this draft. So I gambled and kept gambling. Way too much risk on this team. But if things break right....and there are a lot of things...I might be ok. Turner needs to get traded, Morency needs to keep the starting job (or at least be in RBBC), Furrey doesn't get moved to the slot, DJax gets traded and Hackett assumes a bigger role and weeks 6-7 don't kill me.

Finish the evals if any of you were interested in one man's thoughts.
Hey, I appreciate that you took the time to evaluate every team. Seriously, I like reading those kinds of things - if for no other reason than to see other people's takes on various players and strategies.So please understand when you read the following that I am not coming down on you at all - rather, just pointing out one area where we disagree - which I would think you'd appreciate since that is one of the ideas behind evaluating everyone's teams...to facilitate discussion and analysis.That being said, I disagree with some of your analysis as it isn't always consistent - so it is tough to say what I agree with and what I don't agree with.Since I realize that last sentence of mine seems quite arbitrary, I will explain below with a few examples.Let's take a look at what you said about some people's RB squads.1) Westbrook, C.Taylor, Droughns, K.Faulk - and you ranked his RBs as "solid."2) Addai, Benson, L.White, M.Moore, T.Hunt - and you indicated "one of the best RB groups in the league."3) W.Parker, Caddy, Lynch, M.Morris, M.Robinson - and you said that "RBs are the strength of this team."4) Portis, Edge, Ricky, Dillon, S.Williams - and you said that his "RBs scare me"I guess we just disagree because team 2 above has 2 real starters and a hope of White being the Tennessee starter when all the dust finally settles. And you think that is one of the best RB squads in the entire league.But team 4 who has 2 real starters and also some hope (hope of Ricky coming back and eating some carries wherever he lands, hope that Dillon just lands anywhere and doesn't retire given his goal-line abilities (I believe 14 rushing TDs last year), scares you).If we remove the hopes, backups, etc - and just focus on the real starters for a second...Team 2: Addai & Benson - and you believe is great.Team 4: Portis & Edge - and you believe basically stinks.That just doesn't make sense to me.Or what about team 3 above - W.Parker is good.But Caddy couldn't break 800 yards last year on over 200 carries. And managed only 1 td in 14 games. And that is his RB2 - and you think RBs are a strength of his team.In order for RBs to be a strength of his team he needs to hope Caddy returns to his #s from before last year AND hope that Lynch lands in a favorable situation AND that if Lynch does get onto a favorable team that he does well there given it is his first NFL exposure AND that the news about Parker getting fewer carries this year isn't true.For a team to have to hope for that much - I don't get how you call his RBs a strength.But I guess that is why I do like reading evals - get to see where you disagree with people (and by how much).So again, I do appreciate that you took the time to go through every team. :thumbup: I just disagree in some places with your analysis. ;)
I don't mind a little disagreement. Especially since the draft will make some teams stronger and others weaker.I stand by my thoughts. I don't mind calculated risks where the odds favor the player. I don't like risks that favor the house.Team 4: If Portis is heathly in 16 games, he could be a top 6 RB. I hate using injury risk, but it looks like Betts will be hedging his carries. IMO, Edge is fading fast and was a product of a decent line in Indy his last few years there. It wouldn't shock me to see ARZ draft AD. So, 2 starting RBs with questions surrounding their productivity, backed up with a guy one joint away from never seeing a NFL field again, backed by a guy who may have to retire because he doesn't have a team, backed by the 2nd option in BUF that will probably be a non factor after the draft. Too many ifs to like.The other teams have a legit backups who I see getting at least a few points every game as change of pace backs. You can't say that about RWilliams as of now.

So with Moss in NE and James safe from competition, this team is looking very good. :excited:

 
Eval for FM

QB:

Bulger(9), Frerotte(9) & Losman(6)

The key is for Bulger to stay healthy which is why I ttok Frerotte with my last pick. When healthy he is top 5 easy. Losman had about 5 games of QB1 numbers so he should be a decent back up. His 2nd half showed promise and he might be on the rise somwhat.

Grade:A
I like the Strategy in taking Bulger's backup and a very solid #2 in LosmanGrade A-

RB:

Portis(4), James(8), R.Williams(9), Dillon(FA) & S.Williams(6)

Portis year will be decided by how healthy he is. A full year should yield top 7 results. James could be a nice surprise in this new offense. He should be able to produce top 10 numbers anyway. The rest are just guys that might collectively give me a gane or 2.

Grade:B
I like the RBs especially if Joe Thomas ends up in Arizona. Your backups are questionable, but you should be safe as long as Dillon comes back this year, which I do believe that he will.Grade B

WR:

Burress(9), Moss(5), Curry(5), R.Smith(6), Perry(5) & Engram(8)

A group that could be great or just so so. The key is clearly Moss. If he returns to his ability then this is an A group. Otherwise I'm hoping that Engram, Perry and Smith can make up the difference and that's not going to happen.

Grade:C
To many Question marks here, and bye week 5 is a killer.Grade C-

Some question marks have been answered and the bye issues resolved.

Upgrade to B

TE:

LJ Smith(6) & Des.Clark(9)

A decent group considering I was not willing to draft a top 4 as early as they were going. Waiting until the 6th allowed me to be better at QB and WR (if Moss is good) LJ is usually underrated and can be considered a top when both he and McNabb are healthy for 16 games. The fact that Philly did not go after a top flight WR says they plan to keep Smith as a primary reciever. Clark some nice games and surprised many last year. This is what they thought he was capable of the converted WR was drafted by Chicago. He had 6 TE1 games last year and might be even better this year though I expect it to be about the same. In any case he was nice compliment to Smith and cheap in the 10th round.

Grade:B
Solid TEs they produce nicely Grade B

PK:

Rackers(8) & Bironas(4)

They have different byes so I'm feeling good.

Grade:B
A proven kicker with Rackers and an improving offense in Ten.Grade B

D/ST:

Jacksonville(4) & Cinn(5)

I'm not excitied about these 2 but if Cinn stays healthy they can produce some nice TO's.

Grade:C
Should get some solid scores out of Jax but Cinn has 2 many ??????Grade C+

Overall if Moss, Bulger and Portis are healthy then I like overall balance of this team. All poisitions have players that have finished top 5 or better and this group could be explosive if they were to find their past glory. But the reality is that outside of Bulger and maybe Portis they likely won't relive in the past. I see this team hanging around until about week 10.

Overall Grade: B
Overall there are to many ??????? at WR other than that fairly solid team.Grade B+
 
Now that DJax has been traded to SF, I have my top 4 picks all off week 6 instead of just the top 3 :P

 
Thank goodness I was already going out in Week 5 otherwise AP going to Minn would've really stung. :toilet:

Oh, but Wiggins signed with Tampa Bay! Go me!
