Carson Palmer QB CIN

Kerry Collins QB Titans

Adrian Peterson RB MIN

Reggie Bush RB NO

Dwayne Bowe WR KC

Roy Williams WR DAL

Torry Holt WR ???

Anthony Fasano TE MIA

Visanthe Shianco TE MIN

I wasn't expecting Adrian Peterson to land in my lap he is a stud and was happy to land him.

I wanted to get a WR early on this year and went with Dwayne Bowe. I think his numbers will go up this year with a new headcoach that will hopefully ramp up the offense this year and a new QB that played darn good last year.

Reggie Bush is perfect for the PPR format. He gets lots of passes thrown his way. His only downside is the big question, can Bush stay healthy for all 16 games. He missed 6 games last season. If he were to stay healthy I can see him being a steal in the 3rd.

I was real happy to get Roy Williams at the end of the 4th round especially in a ppr league. With TO out of the way I think the Cowboys will try and get the ball to Williams more. *Knocks on wood*

I was excited to still get someone of Carson Palmers caliber in the 5th round. That Cincinnati defense is still horrible so the Bengels should be throwing alot.

I figured in the late 6th round Torry Holt was well worth the risk at this point. Not many WR's left that I would want over him. He had a down ear last year but if and thats a big if he can land on a team with a little offense then maybe he can get me around 80 receptions 1000 yards and 6-8 TD's, if he does he will make an excellent 3rd receiver. Here's hoping that the Bears sign him so Cutler can throw to him all day long.

I wanted to get a TE in the 7th. There weren't many left that I felt good about so I knew I better grab one now because its a long way to my next pick. I am very happy to get Athony Fasano. Miami doesn't have much in the way of WR's so I think Fasano will continue to see a lot of passes thrown his way.

I wanted to get my second TE (Visanthe Shianco) now because it's a long ways to my next set of picks and I didn't want to be at the wrong end of a TE2 run. I think teaming up Anthony Fasano & Visanthe Shianco should get me decent scoring each week from the TE position.

In the 9th round I wanted to make sure I got one of the more viable starting QB's yet remaining. Collins may not be flashy but all my asking from my 2nd QB is too have a few good weeks and be consistent.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Team Dufresne:

1.10 - Ladainian Tomlinson, RB9, SD

2.6 - Antonio Gates, TE3, SD

3.10 - Kevin Smith, RB17, Detroit

I think I got a bit of a steal with LT at RB9. Didn't like taking two guys from the same team for a survivor, but with the scoring system, Gates is one of the big 4. Kevin Smith is a swing for the fences type pick.

Have to say Im pretty happy with the way things are shaping up. Hopefully everything continues to go the way I planned it. I think Ron Brown and Kellen Winslow are up there with guys going in the 1st/2nd round and was happy to get them later. I see alot of land mines at RB in the 1st round and just really didnt like them much more than guys I could get later in the draft.

I like your team so far.1st round after 10 picks I was hoping AJ would slide past you. At 1st in 2nd round I was going with Gates but decided to wait and nab Winslow .I debated Roddy & SS , went Roddy because it seemed the safer pick. Brown was good value and would've picked him . The 4th round I almost went TE & Winslow over Romo .

I think he'll have a good year, he feels kind of Randy Moss 07 to me as he's falling late, and I think he's poised for a big year, although he missed voluntary workouts.

Brian Westbrook RB7 PHI

Thomas Jones RB16 NYJ

Anquan Boldin WR9 ARI

Hines Ward WR PIT

Kinda happy, kinda not so far. Several players I was targeting were sniped right before my turn (Gates, TO, few QBs, etc.). If Westbrook can stay fairly healthy, he's worth a lot of points in this format. But that's a big IF. Jones. Bleh... I needed another good RB, and there was a big step down at the position at that point. I don't think Jones will do near what he did last year, and the possibility of a holdout scares me a little. But I decided to go with him anyway, as the other choices at QB, RB, WR, TE were all about the same to me. Boldin I think is the best pick of mine, so far. If he stays in ARI, he will do well. Everyone is really high on Fitz, who is indeed an unbelievable player, but many forget the history of these two since they've been together. They were neck-and-neck in production for years until last season when Anquan got hurt. Though Fitz is probably a bit better choice, I think Anquan in the mid-2nd round is great value. Even if he's traded, as long as it's not to someone like Detroit, I think he'll still do excellent. I do like reports of a team like Philly being possibly interested. I think he'd look good in an Eagles uniform.

My latest pick, Ward, was a very tough choice. The QB run has begun and I was definitely looking to pick one in the 4th. But once Romo, Cutler, McNabb, etc. were taken, I felt that the QBs start to take a nosedive, so I passed. I already have two RBs, and actually toyed with the idea of taking another one, but that would leave me very thin at other positions. I think Ward was probably the safest pick I could make.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1.16 Randy Moss WR

2.01 Jason Witten TE

3.16 Kurt Warner QB

4.01 Jonathan Stewart RB

So far, pretty much right on target. I was never thinking of taking a RB at the 1-2 turn, I think it's too important in this setup to get a stud WR1 and a stud TE. Moss is getting Brady back, should be good for a bump since Cassel's deep ball was the weakest part of his game. Witten doesn't have to deal with TO's bellyachin anymore.

At the 3-4 turn, I was considering going RB-RB if Addai or Lynch fell to the turn, would have been too good to pass up, but Stewart-QB was the plan. Stewart should give a solid 1000 total yards/10 TDs baseline even if everything stays the same from last year - I think last year he put up a line to be happy with about 2/3 of the time. The other side of the Stewart pick is the top 10 upside if Williams gets banged up, or just on his talent which could break some long runs and otherwise cause him to outproduce his situation. I would have been thrilled if Rodgers fell one more pick, I don't have him that far off of Manning/Brees/Brady, but I'll take Warner at the 3/4 turn in a 6 pts per TD league, especially now that signs point to Boldin coming back, just need the old man to come back from that hip surgery without any issues.

I accomplished my objectives - get the stud WR, TE, QB that this format (PPR, start 3 WR, 2 PPR for TE, 6 pts per QB TD) calls for, and give myself maximum flexibility for the later rounds so I dont get in a situation where I feel like I have to take players at a certain position, which can be a real kick in the berries when you're at the turn and you can't take advantage of value picks.

Great group here, this is definitely going to be very challenging. Among others, I like what Andy, NorrisB, and Fro have done so far.

Things are shaping up pretty well. I was hoping to snag Matt Schaub so now I'm not sure what I'm going to do at QB.

 

[NorrisB]

Yeah you really should of grabbed a QB there. There was still alot of options at WR that probably would have been available after the turn. And there really isnt too many good options at QB left Im looking at Cassel, Eli Manning and Quinn and after that I get this uneasy feeling with Garrard, Hasselbeck looks like a good option.

I do like the Cotchery pick though that was a great pick, you just gotta hope Cassel is there next round.

I'm not so sure of that. All the teams after Andy are probably looking at WR these rounds. I wouldn't be surprised to see any WR list get decimated. Only you needed a QB and I probably would have gambled and waited on my QB and taken or WR also -- be it Cotchery or Evans.

 

[AD11]

Im waiting to see a scramble for TE's. 9 teams dont have a TE

 

[rzrback77]

I am not surprised that there are six teams with only one RB through almost five complete rounds. I expected that there would be more focus on the WRs this year than in the past. What is a little surprising to me are the names of the RBs that at this point are the solo RBs for their teams. Several guys that are currently in what some consider RBBC.

Im pretty happy with the way this draft has gone, Last two picks Matt Ryan and Chris Wells. Love Matt Ryan think he was a good value there, and Chris Wells is really something special. I think he's going to have a huge year. Guy is a stud RB bell cow RB who will carry the rock 25-30 times a game. He's definitely better than guys like Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, Pierre Thomas etc...

I beg to differ Guy is gonna have 0-5 receptions on the year, which is very bad for a RB especially in PPR. Guy's heart, and durability are both questionable. Hit him low and he goes down like a jenga tower. His lateral agility is poor. One of his major assets, his speed, is going to be mitigated in the NFL. Add the fact that we don't know what team he's going to end up on and if he'll even have an opportunity to be a 2 down back for them, and i'd definitely rather have Jacobs, or Pierre Thomas.

Eh, I think it's decent, but not "great." He's hoping Ryan continues to improve (as I would have, if he had fallen to me that round). He's hoping Brown stays healthy. Wells is used like a #1A or #1B RB and stays healthy. His receivers are fantastic, definitely. And finally, he's hoping Winslow bounces back, despite being on a team with very questionable QBs.

Was hoping for AJ in the 1st but feel Gore is going to have a very nice year.

Went Roddy over S Smith and Gates in the 2nd,seemed safer to me.

Romo , meh he'll do.

I'm high on McFadden , reached a round to get him but didn't think he'd make it back

Not a big Evans guy but always seem to end up with him.

Might have gotten caught up in the Cutler trade grabbing Olsen. I was going WR(Walter or Driver) andgrabbing my TE next round but didn't think I'd see either Olsen,Miller,Keller or Carlson make it back to me.

Nah, cause if Olsen somehow landed in my lap, I would have taken him that round. Didn't think he would, since there were several picks ahead of me still at that point (that the trade was announced). He has potential and looked decent last year. I think Cutler will be forced to use him more with the receivers he has there...

I am pretty happy with my team so far. Only thing I might have changed would be to take Welker in the second and one of the top 3-4 QB's in the third. However if B. Edwards has a season closer to 2007 (or even 2006) as opposed to what he had last year, I should do fine. After doing the WSL's and from where I was drafting, I knew that I wanted to wait on rb's and got a couple decent ones later on, and there are still a few out there.

Not bad at all. I would like for Grant to get more endzone lovin' (only 5 total last year), for Parker to stay healthy, and for Edwards to rebound. But hey, I think we all have SOME risk on our teams at this point...

I have to say I do like this lineup here. Im pretty excited about it, grabbed Sidney Rice and Rashard Mendenhall last two picks, I like Sidney Rice I think getting someone of his skill set at WR55 is robbery, Mendenhall in round 9 is a steal as well. Think Willlie Parker has another year in him but he has started to break down. Rice reminds me alot of Plaxico Burress and think he puts together a good as a third year WR that now has a decent QB in Sage Rosenfels.

 

[rzrback77]

Interesting strategies employed here. Have very little time this morning, but looking at QBs, it is not unusual to see one or two going with a solo QB, but that solo QB has usually been Peyton Manning or Brett Favre, guys that never miss starts. It is a little surprising to me to see Tom Brady coming off a missed season from serious knee injury and Kurt Warner, closing in on age 40 as the lone solo QBs. Seems more than a little riskly to me.

I'm hoping to make up for the lack of having a decent QB1 by playing to statistics and having three QBs with a chance at a decent week.Decent lineup of RBs and WRs for a PPR. I'm not sure where I'm going to find a TE2.

Well If the Patroits have enough confidence to let Cassel go, then I assume Brady is doing just fine. He doesnt have a history of injuries and last year was a fluke I would say. Also Wr was my weakest starting postions so I thought it was better to load up on depth rather than take a backup QB or even TE for that matter.

QBs - decided to wait a while here and build depth at other positions. This tandem will not receive glowing ratings anywhere, but I hope that it is more effective than it will be rated

RBs - At #6, I thought that it was too early to start WR as I would have a personal perspective of needing to continually upgrade the RBs. I like the potential of Forte this season, especially in PPR. Jacobs was a flat out bargain as I got an RB that went in round two in all other PDSLs in the mid third round. I am one of the very few that still hold out hope in Maroney, even though David has informed me often enough that I should not count on it. Still at RB 47, I like his potential of helping out now and then.

WRs - Really like my top three, but am hoping for injury free year for Colston which has not yet been seen. I like Clayton and Bradley more than a lot of folks and think this fivesome is a nice group for 09.

TEs - I like the potential for Z Miller, but not solo. Alas, not much depth left at TE so what can I do? May go solo, but not liking the prospect.

I'm definitely not unhappy with how my team is rounding out here.

From the 15 spot my plan was to square away 2 strong RBs out of the gate, get a top QB and TE, then cobble together my WR corps with the bulk of my next picks, making up for my lack of studs with depth. Since the QB spot is the highest scoring, I also knew I wanted to take my back-up at the front of the pack. Chester Taylor should keep me from getting any zeros at the RB slot, and if AP goes down at all he'll become a stud for those games, so I really liked his value at the end of round 9.

I can't say I'm all that pleased with the team. I'm not disappointed either, but things didn't come all the way together, thanks to Fro and Aaron.

I was set on WR/Witten to start, already talked about that. Almost had Addai and/or Lynch fall to the 3/4 turn, would have made for a stronger RB1 than Stewart (although Stewart has nicer upside with his lower floor). QB1 at the 3/4 turn was going to happen as long as Rodgers or Warner fell. Taking Warner locked me in to ARI team QB strategy at QB. At 5/6 turn almost had Evans and/or Moore drop to me, instead had to take Avery. I was pretty much locked into taking big hacks at RB once I had a mid to low RB2 (with RB1 upside) in my RB1, so it was going to be Moreno or Wells at that pick. I liked Moreno better in a PPR, and I trust Moreno's durability more than Wells, although Wells could land in a plum New Orleans situation. I was very pleased with what I found at the 7/8 turn and felt no temptation to take a QB2 ahead of the QB2 run. Why take another QB who is probably only 10-20% likely to outscore Warner in any given week, and who has issues of their own when I can get a possible WR1 for his team in Morgan and a good floor RB who should get a lot of red zone opps in McClain (just the antidote for my risky RB2 in Moreno). At 9-10 I was also pleased to find two players that I would have considered strongly at 7/8 if the better options on my board had dried up. Brown has a good shot of getting drafted to Arizona or one of the open situations at the top of the 2nd like Seattle or Cleveland. Again, having that much risk at RB meant I had to take some big swings with my other RB picks. Muhammad is a great floor for Avery and Morgan and their downside as second year receivers in offenses with less than stellar QB play. Mumu should be good for 8-10 most weeks with some top 20 weeks thrown in. 11/12 was a decently kind turn, Henderson should score 4-6 weeks with his deep catches, and the team showed confidence in him with a long term deal, so maybe he could do even more than he did last year, who knows. Baltimore was almost a punt, I didn't love any RB or WR and Baltimore has that crazy attack defense that will give you a handful of shutdown days over the course of the season. Leinart I could have maybe left out there for 2 more rounds, but he is a backup QB on the team with the best WR combo in the league behind an old man who just had hip surgery. McMichael was to give me a decent backup TE/bye option and a bit of a hedge on Avery. I think he should be good for at least 40-500-4, and he caught at least 2 balls in every game he played last year, which is the consistent baseline type production I was looking for. This was also a bit of a keep away pick from the teams that are weaker at TE. I think McMike is excellent value where he's going, as good as the TEs going in the 9/10 range in some cases.

IMO you screwed up with the McClain pick, you should of waited a little longer on RB3, and went with a QB like Quinn or Flacco and added some insurance at QB. The position scores too many points to be cheap with it. Just ask Jeff Pasquino from SSL4 last year. Thats a solid team there dont get me wrong, but I think you're achillies heal is going to be your QBs. Also alot of risk at RB there, I mean I like stewart fine but a backup Rb is not someone I want as my RB1.

not sold on Quinn, and Im not sure Mangini is either. Flacco is solid, but limited upside - I only see him outscoring ARI QB 3 or 4 times at most, and I'll give that up plus the bye. I needed another RB who was going to score 8-10 times (at least) for me with a healthy base of GL opps, and upside for some 20-25 pt games. I took a calculated risk, but if I don't go RB and take Rice instead of McClain in the 10th, then I lose McClain's GL baseline, and I lose the big upside play in Brown too. Then RB becomes my achilles heel. Basically I felt painted into a corner, I was going to have a risk somewhere, I felt like ARI team QB was less risky than Stewart/Moreno, and decided to spend to buttress that position instead of QB.ETA: I fully acknowledge that Stewart is a less than ideal RB1, that's why I spent three of my next six picks on RB.

I think taking an injury prone 38 year old QB like Warner as your only starting QB is poor planning on your part. Flacco is an insurance policy in case Warner goes down and Leinart continues on the path he is on. As far Quinn goes Id say he's more or less Eli Manning's skill level + uber mobility, you cant seriously believe that Donald Anderson will beat him out do you? I think Quinn will outscore Warner 35% of the time during the year.

Wasn't planning on going QB so early but didn't like the WRs left at the end of the 2nd so I grabbed my #2 QB and a constant at the position in Peyton. Then followed him up with what I felt was the last "sure" QB starter in Russell.

Didn't love the 3rd pick, as there were 5-7 other RBs I would have been happy with but settled on Turner. He could regress a bit from last year but cant complain too much about a first year stat line of 1700-17. My plan was to go with RBBC for my RB2 slot unless value fell. Surpised to see how well Leon scores in this format so I took him instead of White, McGahee or Benson. Hoping Bradshaw fills that same role or Ward's role. Charles is unknown -- that pick totally depends upon LJ but I could see him get 3rd down duties but if LJ returns I don't see him scoring much for me.

Having to scramble for WRs in WSL, I knew I'd be spending some early picks on WRs. TJ should provide good steady scoring and hopefully Holmes and Gozno continue to improve. They're both in good situations with the talent, oppoturnity and potential. Not sure what to think of Crayton but should be a decent bye week filler. We'll see how the battle between him and Austin goes. Somebody has to catch the ball opposite Calvin...and Johnson is it right now. We'll see if it stays that way. :holds breath:

Sacrificed on TE in this draft but I was this close to Shockey, which I'm still pissed at. I need Lewis (another file under somebody has to catch the ball - although with Lewis, it's sometimes catch the ball) to offsett Miller's bad weeks. If not, I could be looking at some ugly scores some weeks at TE. Planned to go 3 TE to help when Lee stuck around until the 14-15th...and then totally forgot about my plan paritally because.....

Defenses were running out. Oakland was a decent DST, probably due to Higgins' returns. Gotta hope he keeps it up and I'd really like to see them draft Raji but I know it won't happen. And then drafted a f'n kicker instead of Lee. Oh well...at least it's a good kicker.

Need to fill in some spots but I'm relatively happy so far.
