It's a shame really, if you were going to go to the trouble of evaluating my team to find weaknesses or to smack it around some, you should have tried a little harder.
Some of your comments here are contradicting to previous comments you've made....... When I drafted Leinart, you stated you liked him a lot, now (since you are mad at me) he's just average.
I think you are a wee bit off with your grades, but I'll accept them for what they are.....Ok, so, two 'D's (QB & RB), and two 'B's (WR & TE)...averages out to a 'C'. To go and lump Akers in with the defenses is just too funny. Akers is definately an 'A'. Having two defenses on the same bye, does not warrant an 'F' for the position. I'll get production out of them weekly (except on week 8), so they should at least warrant a 'C-' or 'D+'!!! My team really ranks out to a 'C' or 'C+' if I accept your QB & RB grades, which I stated I would for this exercise.
Seeing you give my team an 'F' only solidifies my thinking that you are a snide, spiteful little man. But that's Ok, you'll get by.
For a lesson on team evaluating see below:
NorrisB
6.11 Tony Romo, DAL, QB13, Bye-8
8.11 Ben Roethlesberger, PIT, QB18, Bye-6
I believe you would have taken Leinart, had I not, but either way, this is the real group of 'average' QB's. Both of these QB's must deal with new coaching regimes, in addition to their own average talents, which might play a little bit into how they produce this year. Personally, I don't like either of them, but that won't effect my grade for them....C/C+
1.06 Shaun Alexander, SEA, RB6, Bye-8
3.06 Duece McAllister, NO, RB23, Bye-4
11.06 Correll Buckhalter, PHI, RB52, Bye-5
14.11 Brandon Jackson, ®, RB62
SA, as I've stated before, was a nice pick. I would have grabbed him, had he slid to me, and would have been thrilled. Not high on Duece, but good value pick here. Buck in the 11th could prove an excellent value, should Westy go down for any amount of time. Reid likes him a lot and is not afraid to use him when neccessary. Don't know much about Jackson at all, other than that he is from Nebraska. If he lands in a good situation, he could prove to be a decent pick. Grade: B-
2.11 Larry Fitzgerald, ARI, WR7 , Bye-8
4.11 Hines Ward, PIT, WR19, Bye-6
5.06 Joey Galloway, TB, WR24, Bye-10
7.06 Bernard Berrian, CHI, WR37, Bye-9
10.11 Chris Henry, CIN, WR57, Bye-5
13.06 Joe Jurevicius, CLE, WR74, Bye-7
16.11 Mike Williams, DET, WR88, Bye-6
Fitz is a great WR, but Boldin is the real monster in Az. Nice pick though, as he fell to you and you could not pass. Ward is just a steady producer. Galloway could prove to be good value here in the 5th, but they have not handed the reins to Garcia just yet. Simms is still the starter (according to the FBG news blogger) and he is still a greenhorn, so I'm not inclined to give Galloway a bump yet. Berrian is Rex's favorite target downfield, but is basically boom or bust week to week. Sucks about Henry. I like him and was looking to nab him, but was willing to wait. Glad I did. No production for 8 weeks is going to hurt. Jurevicius is lost in the folds of the Browns O. He was targetted 65 times by Frye last year, as compared to Winslow, who had 129 targets. Mike Williams? WTF? You do know he is going to get cut by Detroit this year, don't you. What has this guy done? Ever? OC Martz is looking past him at this point and you should not expect much, if anything at all, from Williams this year. Grade: C. Could have been a B, but Henry and company bring it down.
9.06 Dallas Clark, IND, TE15 , Bye-6
12.11 Marcedes Lewis, JAC, TE22, Bye-4
Landing Clark as TE15 is pretty good. Lewis is a nice TE2, as Leftwich likes to dump off to his TE's when the running game is lacking and his WR's are covered tight. Could prove grood value out of the 12th round. Grade: B-
15.06 Green Bay Packers, DST13, Bye-7
17.06 New York Giants, DST24, Bye-9
Both of these defenses are average, at best. Grade: C
What, no kickers yet? Oh well, they are a dime a dozen anyway, so you can't do all that bad with what is left for the pickin'. Considering you have waited on them though, I can only guess that you'll get average to below average value. Grade: C-
Your team is average. Not bottom of the pile, nor sitting at the top. Overall grade: C
Your draft so far has been a far cry from schooling us all. You did state at the beginning of this thing that that is what you would do. But you did not.
I will re-evaluate after this is over, because who knows, you might do something in the last couple rounds which would neccessitate adjustments to your grades.
Good luck, Rody
