1st time doing a survivor draft and meh I'm just alright with this team. Great group of drafters here . I don't know how many times the player I was hoping to take went to either Norris of Fro right in front of me.

QB-I'm happy with the three Qs I drafted. Romo is solid and I think Rosenfels is going to be a huge bargain as the 28 QB off the board

RB-I really like Gore & the McFadden/Bush combo but I'm in trouble after them with Arrington & Rhodes. I wanted to take Andre Brown with my last pick but should've grabbed him in the 19th.

WR-I like 'em. Roddy is a stud . Need Evans & Hester to come through . Smith should contribute nicely this season in this format. Burleson,Britt & Doucet are ???

TE- Olsen represented decent value as the 8th TE off the board. I had Gates teed up in the 2nd but changed my mind at the last second.Maybe Watson can contribute more than Olsen's bye week.

K-Might of jumped Gostkowski a round too early in the 14th but didn't think I'd see him where I selecting in the 15th

D-Wanted to go with two stud D's as a lark and I'm kicking myself in the ### because I didn't. Wanted to go Pitt/Giants combo in the 11th & 12th. After the schedule was released I was left with only Detroit as an option but they went a few picks before me. I don't know what I was thinking picking Dominic Rhodes over the Giants in the 12th.

QBs are ok, with Romo, Im not sure that you needed three, although Rosenfels isn't a lock to start as long as he's healthy with his turnover tendencies.I like the move of pairing Bush and McFadden. Bush is very underrated in this format.

I like the WR corps too - Hester and Evans are guys who should give you some top 10 weeks, Smith should be a decent baseline, and Burleson was good value where you got him. Doucet is an interesting gamble that could work out if Boldin gets traded.

Olsen should be strong with Cutler, but I think Baker might outpoint Watson this year, Watson really declined last year.

rzrback77QBs - Waited rather late and am left at this point with some questions. If this was 08, I would have a couple of guaranteed starters ranked around 15-18 each. But, this is a new year and there are rumblings of dissatisfaction on both teams. If both keep their starting jobs then I will be happy with the duo. Considered grabbing a late rounder with potential, but the WR bye trouble sealed the deal with this duo. No bye trouble.(7) David Garrard QB15 JAX(8) Jason Campbell QB24 WASRBs - I really like the top two guys and need them to perform. In these 16 team survivors you have to pick your poison and the depth here is really lacking. I need for McCoy to get drafted someplace where he can be featured in the passing game. It would be nice for Maroney to score some, especially if (or when) Jacobs misses some time. No bye trouble.(5) Matt Forte RB6 CHI(10) Brandon Jacobs RB15 NYG(8) Laurence Maroney RB47 NE(?) LeSean McCoy RB56 ROOKIEWRs - I typically go with seven WRs in these survivors, but had planned to go with six and was happy with my six. Having three with Week 8 byes forced me to add another. I hope that the seventh I added will be able to recover from the weak end of last season. Hoping that I am alive in week 8 and am not the only team of the survivors with bye week trouble. I also need for Matt Jones to be picked up on a team (DOH), preferably without a week 8 bye.(5) Marques Colston WR10 NO(8) Antonio Bryant WR20 TB(8) Santana Moss WR26 WAS(7) Mark Clayton WR48 BAL(8) Mark Bradley WR63 KC(?) Matt Jones WR FA(5) Rashied Davis WR CHITEs - I really like my TE trio. I like Z Miller to continue his progress and think that Donald Lee was a bargain where he was drafted. I also think that Nelson could play quite a bit as a rookie. Hope that he rewards me as I possibly could have grabbed another QB with that pick.(9) Zack Miller TE 10 OAK(5) Donald Lee TE GB(?) Shawn Nelson TE ROOKIEI like the Chargers to rebound strong in 09 and added the Broncos who have a different bye and were cheap.(5) San Diego Chargers D/ST(7) Denver Broncos D/STPKs - Two kickers one on an offensive riser and the other that has trouble scoring TDs. meh...(10) Kris Brown PK HOU(8) Shayne Graham PK CIN

QBs could be a real issue, you better hope Sanchez goes early, because I think Jacksonville and Washington are probably in his top 5-6 landing spots.Forte/Jacobs could be a real strength, but I would have liked to see a Bradshaw hedge here. I like McCoy's big play capability, but he also seems least ready for the NFL physically of the top rookie backs.Strong WR corps - Bryant and Moss could be amazing values, and Clayton/Bradley should score 4-6 weeks each for you. I even like the Davis pick late, although maybe another QB/RB would have been advisable since you're pretty strong here.Not sure you needed Nelson, I expect zach to be even better this year. If I didnt go stud TE, I would have targeted Zach at the 5/6 turn.

krsone21

I like my QB's. I was pleased to get Carson Palmer at my #1 QB as the 11th QB taken. If he plays like I know he can then he could be a top 8 QB. I waited a while to get my #2 QB in Kerry Collins. He isn't flashy but he should be steady and have a couple of big games through out the year.

(8) Carson Palmer QB11 CIN

(7) Kerry Collins QB26 TEN

I am ok with my RB's. I really like my two starters in this format, however they both have injury concerns especially Bush so if he can stay healthy then he is a still as the 14 RB taken. My backups are nothing special. Just fillers basically for bye weeks and hope that they can add a decent game once and a while.

(9) Adrian Peterson RB2 MIN

(5) Reggie Bush RB14 NO

(7) Julius Jones RB48 SEA

(9) Jerome Harrison RB CLE

(5) Kevin Jones RB CHI

I have lots of questions at WR. I think Bowe will see a boost to his numbers this season so I was very happy to land him as my #1 WR. I have Williams who didn't shine in Dallas last year so hopefully he can turn it around this year. I have Holt who is getting long in the tooth but I'm hoping he can have one decent year left in him. The rest of my WR's are rookies and a vet in Patten. All that I can hope for out of my rookie WR's is that they end up in decent situations and get lucky enough to hit on a couple of them.

(8) Dwayne Bowe WR13 KC

(6) Roy Williams WR22 DAL

(?) Torry Holt WR38 ???

(?) Jeremy Maclin WR61 ROOKIE

(?) Darrius Heyward-Bey WR ROOKIE

(9) David Patten WR CLE

(?) Brian Robiskie WR ROOKIE

I am happy with my TE's they both finished in the top 10 last year. If they can equal last years production then I should get a decent week out of one of them each week and have a decent optoin during my bye weeks.

(6) Anthony Fasano TE12 MIA

(9) Visanthe Shiancoe TE15 MIN

I have two good defenses. Defenses can score some nice points in this league so I wanted to good ones.

(8) New England Patriots D/ST4

(7) Tennesee Titans D/ST

For my kickers I just wanted to guys that had job security and different bye weeks.

(5) Robbie Gould PK CHI

(6) Nick Folk PK DAL

At this point I don't have any serious bye weeks issues so I got lucky there.

Cant complain about Palmer where you got him, but Collins is unexciting, even if he's an ok baseline.Tremendous 1-2 punch at RB, would have liked to see a pick of Chester Taylor though. Youre hurting bad if Bush or AD get injured. Maybe JJ will work out, but im skeptical.

You needed one more solid baseline WR, especially with Holt's future so cloudly, but at least you got the most pro ready rookie WR in Robiskie.

Fasano and Shiancoe are meh, barely good enough to be competitive, but Shiancoe did come on late.

Shadowfax

(6) Peyton Manning QB2 IND

(9) JaMarcus Russell QB25 OAK

(4) Michael Turner RB3 ATL

(9) Leon Washington RB31 NYJ

(10) Ahmad Bradshaw RB32 NYG

(8) Jamal Charles RB49 KC

(7) TJ Houshmandzadeh WR14 SEA

(8) Santonio Holmes WR21 PIT

(6) Anthony Gonzalez WR24 IND

(6) Patrick Crayton WR58 DAL

(7) Bryant Johnson WR70 DET

(9) David Clowney WR NYJ

(9) Javon Walker WR OAK

(8) Heath Miller TE16 PIT

(7) Marcedes Lewis TE22 JAX

(9) Oakland Raiders D/ST

(7) Jacksonville Jaguars D/ST

(8) Kansas City Chiefs D/ST

(5) Nate Kaeding PK SD

(10) Lawrence Tynes PK NYG

QB - Peyton should provide top scoring. Russell was the last "true" starter left IMO and it was encouraging seeing him post 24, 23, 19 points the last 3 weeks last year.

RB - Turner should be top 5-10. Leon was more than solid enough as a RB2 in this format and I hope Bradshaw can step into that role also. Charles was a bit of a flyer and I have to hope LJ leaves. Overall RBs aren't as deep as I'd like but kept getting sniped on ones I wanted and spidey sense was telling me to stay away from others. Hopefully, it's good enough.

WR - Like the top 3 of TJ, Holmes and Gonzalez. Need Crayton and Johnson to post some average numbers but worried both may lose their "current" starting jobs. Can Clowney win the #2 job or at least post some deep TD scores every now and then. WTF knows what Walker will do but worth a gamble in the 19th.

TE - Waited on TE and it shows. Miller was top 5 TE last 6 weeks last year...maybe he continues on that pace? More likely, he'll be inconsistent with up and down weeks. And Lewis...well, somebody's got to catch the ball in Jax, right? Hoped Zach Miller, Olsen, or Keller would fall to me in the 6th and then couldn't belive Awesome sniped Shockey as his TE2 one pick before me. Average scoring here and possiblity of bad weeks could hurt.

K/DST - Got 2 kickers on good offenses. Got 3 (below) average DSTs. Picked up a 3rd DST in KC in the 20th, as the 3rd to last pick. I'll take it instead of a random flyer. These 3 DSTS would have given me double digit scoring almost every week last year.

Not a team that's going to blow other teams out of the way. I don't have to be the highest every week...just not the lowest and IMO, this squad should provide enough scoring each week to last a while. No real major bye week issues either.

Love Peyton as a QB1, not even sure you needed to take Russell, but he's good at least as a keep away.I like RB2BC, but I would have liked maybe a swing for the fences rookie pick at RB5.

Solid work at WR, love the top 3, and Clowney could surprise with 4-6 scoring weeks, especially if Ratliff wins the job.

TE is acceptable, maybe Lewis will remember how to catch the ball this year, they need him to.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

5) Jay Cutler QB9 CHI

(4) Jake Delhomme QB22 CAR

I took Cutler before he was moved and I am pretty happy he ended up in Chitown actually. I think I got 2 solid starters. If Jake gets hurt, surviving will be tough.

(7) Chris Johnson RB8 TEN

(6) Felix Jones RB35 DAL

(7) Ray Rice RB46 BAL

(6) Tashard Choice RB52 DAL

(8) Kolby Smith RB KC

(8) Ladell Betts RB WAS

I took an extra RB after I saw the bye weeks, which hurt me at K. I was willing to take the hit there. I targeted PPR RBs and was happy with the value of Choice and Rice.

(5) Greg Jennings WR8 GB

(7) Eddie Royal WR17 DEN

(5) Vincent Jackson WR 28 SD

(6) Miles Austin WR49 DAL

(9) Johnnie Lee Higgins WR68 OAK

(?) Hakeem Nicks WR ROOKIE

(8) Malcolm Kelly WR WAS

I like my WRs, especially my top 3. I wish I had a couple more vets rather than so many youngsters for depth.



(9) Dustin Keller TE9 NYJ

(?) Brandon Pettigrew TE ROOKIE

This could end up being a major weakness if Keller dips w/o Favre.

(9) New York Jets D/ST

(4) Carolina Panthers D/ST

2 good Ds.

(7) Rob Bironas PK TEN

1 decent kicker

Overall, I like my team, but it is a bit younger than I would have liked. The byes are fairly well spread out and I should finish in the top half of the league. Enjoyed drafting with everyone!

Solid work at QB, although not much upside, unless CAR loses their taste for running.Love the RB2BC youve assembled here Jones/Choice and Rice could yield top 15 numbers in any given week. Great work here.

I dig the WR corps too. Austin has nice upside, Higgins is a good big play guy, and Nicks could hit early if he lands in Indy or New York (if Boldin/Edwards dont land there).

Nice upside, but a lot of risk at TE, you would think the plan would be Keller as the de facto WR2, so it could really work out. Rookie TEs usually come along slow (Keller's 08 notwithstanding), so im not sure how much pettigrew will help.

One kicker isnt bad when its Bironas.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Norseman

(5) Drew Brees QB1 NO

(8) Luke McCown QB29 TB

Took the first QB off the board in the 2nd round.(the top fantasy QB from last year) If I had to do it again I probably would have waited until the 3rd round, as I would have been happy with any of the top 3 or 4 QB's. I waited a little to long to get my #2, although he shouldn't be need for more than a couple of weeks. And contrary to shark pool opinion, McCown will be starting for Tampa Bay at the beginning of the year. (I would put it at 80-90% that he gets the job over Leftwich). Very solid at QB.

(5) Ryan Grant RB23 GB

(8) Willie Parker RB26 PIT

(9) Jamal Lewis RB34 CLE

(?) Rashard Jennings RB ROOKIE

(10) Danny Ware RB NYG

From WSL experience, I thought that good RB value would be there in the 4th round and later. Was very happy with Grant and Parker, although I was hoping Addai would fall. Was hoping that Felix Jones would last until my 8th round pick (he didn't go before the end of the 8th in all the WSL's) and I regretted not taking him after he went a few picks after I took Lewis in the 7th. Hopefully Lewis keeps the job for another year and has a decent year. Hope the rookie lands in a good situation. Ware is the 3rd RB in NY, so he should get a few good games filling in when Jacobs gets hurt.

Possibly 3 starting RB's, decent at this position.

(4) Larry Fitzgerald WR1 ARI

(9) Braylon Edwards WR16 CLE

(10) Kevin Walter WR36 HOU

(7) Justin Gage WR45 TEN

(?) Percy Harvin WR69 ROOKIE

(4) Harry Douglas WR ATL

Fitz is the consensus #1 WR, hopefully he continues his end of year run. Didn't really like the Edwards pick, although he has top 5 potential. I would be happy with top 20 finish. Walter and Gage are underrated WR's who usually finish higher than there ADP. I like Harvin's big play potential and upside. Douglas was good value where I got him and should score for me a few times.

Very good group of WR's, hopefully one of the best.

(4) Brent Celek TE17 PHI

(7) Todd Heap TE21 BAL

(7) L.J. Smith TE BAL

Wanted to take a TE earlier, but everyone that I was targeting went a few picks to a half a round before they got to me and I kept putting it off. Hope that Celek continues his improved play from late in the season. Cornered the market on Balt. TE's, since Heap can't seem to stay healthy, Smith should help cover when he goes out.

Probably one of the worst sets of TE's in this league, but hopefully out of the 3, someone will step up every week.

(5) Chicago Bears D/ST

(9) Buffalo Bills D/ST

Got 2, both have great return games and no bye problems. Should be in the top half with this pair.

(7) Josh Scobee PK JAX

(9) Jay Feely PK NYJ

Kickers, I got 2 with different byes, and both should be safe to keep there jobs.

Overall, I am pretty happy with my team. No real bye week conflicts. If the RB's can keep there jobs and return to past production levels, and my TE's can be average or better, and no major injures(which goes for ever team) I should have a good shot to advance fairly deep this year.

Brees is an outstanding anchor, and McCown at least has upside for a late QB pick. I also believe the job is most likely his when the dust settles.Great work at RB without a huge investment. The only real worry here is that I dont think any of them are 100% secure and you didn't hedge any of them with their backups (but thats why you were able to get them later on). Ware and Jennings were nice swing for the fences later picks.

Very nice work at WR - two big hitter, two safe baseline types, and two swing for the fences big play picks. Love it.

You did the right thing by investing three picks at TE - with sypniewski back, that should free up heap/smith to catch more passes.

I like this team as much as any in the league - sorry for the blooming/kiss of death.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

AD11

(8) Tom Brady QB3 NE

(9) Kellen Clemens QB NYJ

I fully expect Brady to be healthy next year. With all the weapons in NE, Brady could very fell finish as the top QB once again or at least compete with Brees as the #1 QB. Ya Clemons isnt the best backup and i waited too long, but most #2 QBs dont play when you have a stud.

(7) Maurice Jones Drew RB1 JAX

(8) Larry Johnson RB25 KC

(8) Cedric Benson RB31 CIN

(7) Greg Jones RB58 JAX

(7) Lamont Jordan RB DEN

(9) Antonio Pittman RB STL

I really love my top 3 Rbs. MJD is signed and will have a huge year in PPR formats. LJ is doing and saying all the right things lately and will most likely stay in KC. Hes gonna be a work horse back in an improving offense. I thought Benson had good value as one of the only starters left. If the cinci offense plays better this year with Palmer back, he could be a steal. My other Rbs arent too useful. Jones provides a handcuff for MJD. Hoping theres a reason Mcdaniels brought Jordan to Denver. Pittman isnt worth much, but they lean on him when Jackson gets injured. Bye weeks here could be tricky for 7 and 8. I guess Jones or Jordan will be starting for a week.

(8) Laveranues Coles WR23 CIN

(4) Kevin Curtis WR39 PHI

(6) Greg Camarillo WR46 MIA

(10) Domenik Hixon WR47 NYG

(7) Mike Walker WR59 JAX

(5) Earl Bennett WR60 CHI

Seeing as starting Wrs is my biggest weakness, I loaded up with later round talent and got some decent depth. Coles is probably the worst #1 on a team but he could put up Whosyomama numbers. Palmer looks to be back and it is known that he heavily helped recruit Coles to the Bengals. Curtis is just meh, hes solid enough. I really like what Camarillo did at the start of the season before injury. He was on pace for over 80 catches. Hixon depends on if the Giants bring in a top WR. If they dont then Hixon will get alot of targets. Mike Walker well what can I say, someone has to catch the ball in JAX. Bennett and Cutler will have good chemistry from playing at Vanderbilt. I expect Camarillo, Hixon, Walker and Bennett all to compete for the 3rd spot. Oh ya and the bye weeks couldnt be any better for me.

(6) Dallas Clark TE4 IND

(4) Donte Rosario TE CAR

Clark will be a top TE and with Harrison gone I cant see looks decreasing. Waited a bit for my next TE as i never saw value where I was picking. Rosario is weak but he wont start much.

(9) Minnesota Vikings D/ST

(7) Seattle Seahawks D/ST

The Vikings have a great D and Seattle should improve in that weak division. Different byes doesnt hurt.

(7) Olindo Mare PK SEA

(8) Connor Barth PK KC

Well Kickers arent strong, I just wanted 2 with different byes.

Overall Im pretty happy with my team. I like having a stud QB and TE that will start every week. I know Wrs are important in PPR but I like my depth and am confident each week I could find a solid 3. Im not really sure if I like picking at the #1 spot. Having to wait 32 picks meant having to reach a bit if u wanted someone. Ive never been in a draft with more 10 teams, So I guess I did ok.

Cant argue with brady on the logic that the Pats must trust that knee. Why not take Ratliff late to pair with Clemens, or just avoid the situation altogether (although Clemens is in the early lead, so maybe ignoring Ratliff was the right move).Solid group of RBs - LJ and Benson are fine leads in your RB2 committee. Jones is underrated in this format. Jordan might some work, although getting both him and Pittman was probably unnecessary - I think Pittman gives way to a rookie this year, Darby was ahead of him late last year.

Real nice use of later WR picks to get upside. Walker, Bennett, and Hixon could all be top 30-35 WR when its all said and done. I really wanted Hixon to last to the 9/10 turn. Perfect compliment to not having a real stud at the top of your WR corps.

Cant argue with Clark as a TE1, Rosario could be real interesting without a real WR3 in Carolina right now, he could be Keller lite.

Good job picking at the other turn!

(4) David Akers PK PHI

(8) Shaun Suisham PK WAS

Picking back up from my earlier comments, from the 15 spot my plan was always to square away 2 strong RBs out of the gate, get a top QB and strong TE at the 3/4 turn, 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 position, I also knew I wanted to take my back-up at the front of the pack and hedge my bet. I figured from pick at 8-12 I'd continue my attention on WR depth and watch for RB value to present itself.

In my opinion, I executed my plan well. There were several times when the folks I was targeting got sucked up in the picks leading up to me (including my first 2 WRs who were picked via a list I gave to Andy). Picking 8 WRs may have been overkill, but I didn't see strong value in other positions and knew I needed to give myself as much of a chance as possible to pick up WR TDs every week. Taking MBIII/Slaton and Rogers/Hasselbeck meant I wasn't real worried about building additional depth there (although I'm very happy to have Chester Taylor as my RB3). I had no intention of taking more than 2 TEs, D's or Ks, so there you go - I could focus late attention on WR.

I feel the best value at Defense comes in the middle picks, and I basically did the same thing at Kicker.

The icing on the cake was getting lucky with BYE weeks.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

This is a subjective thing so I wouldnt be surprised if I was wrong. What position do you think your team will win this league? Did you miss out on what you planned? What was your predraft plan?well atleast you shored up QBs, DEFs and Ks well, gave yourself a chance to survive, didnt really make a rookie mistake in that sense.

My team.QB: Rivers is an elite QB. Orton has high upside in the Broncos offense.RB: Portis played a full 16-game season the past two years and in 3 of the past 4 years. He's a very reliable #1 RB.Colts lost Rhodes so I expect a bounceback year from Addai.Cards are expected to dump Edge at some point and Hightower is a great fit for their offense. Should put up 40+ receptions and 10+ TDs, which is great for a RB3.M.Morris looking like he'll share time in Detroit, and Andre Brown could be a complete steal based on where I got him.WR: Calvin Johnson is a stud WR1.I'm a big fan of Berrian and think he'll make a great WR2 with Rosenfels at QB.Nate Washington has been very productive in Pittsburgh despite playing with Ward and Holmes, now he could be the #1 in Tennesee.Northcutt is in a great situation with the Jaguars right now, Urban could see a big jump in value if Boldin gets moved, and Baskett is a player who can put up some big weeks.TE: Scheffler was a top-10 TE last year in average points/game and he's probably getting a new QB who LOVES the check down rather than trying to always throw deep if he doesn't get traded. Scaife is one of the best TE2s out there. I got screwed with both having the same bye week so I took a shot on D.Clark who has a great week 7 matchup. I expect to get great production at the TE spot out of these guys.PK/DEF - No weakness here.I didn't have any predraft plan. I missed out on a few WRs I wanted along the way. Would have normally went 7 WRs at a minimum here but I didn't like the talent available late at that spot and figured that a 5th RB and 3rd TE could help me more. The week 7 bye looks like a killer. If my byes were spread out evenly like they always are for my teams, I'd feel this team was certainly capable of winning.

(5) Green Bay Packers D/ST

(10) Houstan Texans D/ST

(7) Jason Hanson PK DET

(6) Joe Nedney PK SF

Im pretty happy with the team I came away with. Beanie Wells seems to be going around RB36, which I think is kinda low. I think he's gauranteed to be a starter, dont know if Id take him in a dynasty league because of his style but certainly late in a redraft. Sydney Rice seems to be undervalued he went around 13th round WR70 I think. Brady Quinn I think will be on alot of my redraft teams he went about QB23-QB28 which I think is kinda low, he's a virtual lock to beat out Derek Anderson, and I think he'll perform on Eli Manning ish level. Kellen Winslow seems to be the last of the stud TE's and he's going about TE7 behind Witten, Gates, TG, Clark, Daniels and Cooley. I think he's a good buy at that point.

I dont really like any of the RBs that go in the 1st or 2nd, certainly not much more than the ones available 3rd or 5th round. I got Beanie in the 6th round and Ive seen him go as late as the 9th round, which is quite late I think for a 16 team league. I went WR-WR-RB-TE in this draft. My RBs dont look too bad. As usual the rookie RBs seem to be undervalued, for WRs, Keenan Burton looks underrated, he performed as close to Avery when he was on the field. Caldwell is a steal once Henry inevitably gets arrested again, hell he could start if Chad is traded.

If my byes were spread out evenly like they always are for my teams, I'd feel this team was certainly capable of winning.

Nice analysis there rudnicki

Im pretty happy with the team I came away with. Beanie Wells seems to be going around RB36, which I think is kinda low. I think he's gauranteed to be a starter, dont know if Id take him in a dynasty league because of his style but certainly late in a redraft. Sydney Rice seems to be undervalued he went around 13th round WR70 I think. Brady Quinn I think will be on alot of my redraft teams he went about QB23-QB28 which I think is kinda low, he's a virtual lock to beat out Derek Anderson, and I think he'll perform on Eli Manning ish level. Kellen Winslow seems to be the last of the stud TE's and he's going about TE7 behind Witten, Gates, TG, Clark, Daniels and Cooley. I think he's a good buy at that point.

I dont really like any of the RBs that go in the 1st or 2nd, certainly not much more than the ones available 3rd or 5th round. I got Beanie in the 6th round and Ive seen him go as late as the 9th round, which is quite late I think for a 16 team league. I went WR-WR-RB-TE in this draft. My RBs dont look too bad. As usual the rookie RBs seem to be undervalued, for WRs, Keenan Burton looks underrated, he performed as close to Avery when he was on the field. Caldwell is a steal once Henry inevitably gets arrested again, hell he could start if Chad is traded.

Norris hit it when he broke down my team, we had similar strategies. He waited on QB, and while I really like Ryan as a late QB1, Im not as sure that Quinn will hold this job all year, there are just too many signals out of Cleveland that they don't believe in him. When you add in that he might be traded, there's an extra risk that he goes somewhere like Tennessee or Carolina where he'll be the QB in waiting instead of the starter - of course he could also land in a lot better situation than Cleveland, so that cuts both ways.The RBs work, lots of upside guys - swinging for the fences with Brown and Sproles as baseline 1/2 guys.

AJ/Smith is a sick 1-2 punch at WR, I seriously considered Smith over Witten to go Moss/Smith. While I like going for upside with later WR picks, I dont like that there isn't a vet or two that is assured of 40-50 catches in that group. I do like Sid Rice's talent, but Minnesota is looking hard at some first round WRs. I also like Floyd a lot, but again, as a combo at WR3 with a boring guy like ARE. Of course this strategy could pay off huge, but it does add a little risk where risk could have been minimized.

Love the value of KW, if I was sure I could have gotten him at 3/4 turn, I would have waited on TE. He looked like a new man at his press conference. Casey's a fun upside pick since he might get wildcat snaps too.

I would say this is one of the top three teams - sorry for the blooming Norris.

Thanks bloom you hit the main concerns I have about the team, I feel I should have nabbed a devery henderson like WR, but those WRs went higher than I had anticipated.

Colts lost Rhodes so I expect a bounceback year from Addai.Cards are expected to dump Edge at some point and Hightower is a great fit for their offense. Should put up 40+ receptions and 10+ TDs, which is great for a RB3.

D.Brown to IndyC.Wells to Arizonamy team is done. glll guys.

Not so fast....

Nate Washington has been very productive in Pittsburgh despite playing with Ward and Holmes, now he could be the #1 in Tennesee.Northcutt is in a great situation with the Jaguars right now, Urban could see a big jump in value if Boldin gets moved, and Baskett is a player who can put up some big weeks.

At least your defenses didn't get bumped down the depth chart.

The new destinations of the rookies and their bye weeks have been updated.

Did anyones team getter better or worse now that the NFL draft is completed?
