I like the ranking of the groups approach - keep it coming.
Like what you did at QB, but I would have made Hill a priority at the 17/18 turn, locking in mid-QB1 production from your QB2. I think Obomanu was unnecessary and I disagree on your certainty that he will start. Also, even if he is starter in name, SEA will employ a rotation and no one outside of BMW will stand out production wiseLove the late Carter pick at RB, was counting on him falling. You need him or Ryan Williams to land in a big role or you might be in trouble. If your team goes out in the first 6-8 weeks it will very likely be due to having RB1 and RB2 with questionable injury history and no firewall type safe producers after them. Glaring weakness here.After 24 picks:QB - Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford, Rex Grossman1.16 - Jeff Pasquino - Frank Gore, SF, RB10

TE - Zach Miller (OAK), Anthony Fasano, DJ Williams
PK - David Akers, Ryan Longwell
D/ST - Dallas, San Diego, Houston
QB - Three starters with two of them having explosive receivers. At worst a B here.
RB - Much depends on Williams and Carter's fate in the draft, but rookie RBs are the most likely first year players to contribute. Gore and Addai should hold down the fort fine. Probably the weakest part of the team. C+ with upside in two weeks.
WR - Two #1s in Jennings and Steve Johnson, plus Braylon Edwards will likely be either a strong WR2 or a WR1A wherever he goes. Who knows with Randy Moss. Morgan is the WR2 in SF, while Obomanu should also be the WR2 in Seattle. AGonzalez has upside in Indy (esp. if Collie hurt) and I like Early Doucet to get 400+ yards and 3-4 TDs. Not bad for a WR8. Not jump up and down material, but better than average. B/B-.
TE - Zach Miller will lead the way here, and he's good enough to do so. Fasano is not great but 3-4 catches and 40 yards gives 10-12 points, which should be just fine for a TE2. Williams should be the second or third TE off the board in the draft and is one of the top receiving TEs this year. Enough teams need TE and they all saw what NE's duo can do so receiving TEs can help out in year one. Grade is a B/B- with upside.
PK - Akers and Longwell are both Top 10-15 guys. Have to give this an A, but A PKs are not going to win you the league - but they can keep you from losing.
D/ST - Three defenses (DAL/HOU/SD) should be one of the top 2-3 teams in this league. Only Bass has 3 and two teams have just one. As I pointed out earlier, that should be good for a 4-8 point advantage several weeks. That's going to be significant I think. Plus DAL and SD are top half defenses. A grade.
Overall - I give it a B. Looking back I think I could have waited at PK2 and gotten Tamme or more RB help. Even though I view RBs as the likely weak link here, I could not see going after a 6th RB with just two starters each week. Given the uncertainty of Randy Moss and the value I saw in Early Doucet that was the direction I chose to go. I'll drop the RB name after the 24th round is over and see if anyone says I should have picked that guy instead.
Good to great QBs. Fitzpatrick is a nice #2 for Brady since you're mainly looking for big week potential. Like Clausen late as one of the two should remain starter through Brady bye even if both CAR and BUF go QB in the first.RBs could be major achilles heel. Lynch is prone to duds, especially if Hasselbeck doesnt return. I don't see anyone assured of a decent-sized role after Lynch. Big issues anytime Mendenhall doesn't come through. Needed to invest more here. Caddy, Keiland, Kevin could be very meager producers and ivory's lis franc worries + Bush and Thomas will both be back.Good depth at WR with TD scorer in TBMW, catch hogs in MT/Smith/Amendola, and big play potential in Hester. Maybe only needed Jenkins in addition. At least one of Butler Gibson should have been an RB, preferably a rookie.I actually think your TEs are fine. Gronk should be good for 8-10 weeks with TDs and Heap was producing like a #1 when healthy - not to mention he is working with Flacco this offseason. Would have liked to see another flier at RB instead of Dreessen.Very similar to Pasq, I didnt understand why you chose to take an early kicker instead taking some of the terrific RB value available in the 14th.Feels like this team should be stronger. Needed to have more picks after the 12th round where you could at least imagine a scenario where they are quality producers, especially at RB.QBs - Brady alone makes this a good group, but I like Fitzpatrick also. I don't think the Bills go QB in the draft (at least not 1st round). Willing to give Clausen a shot since it only cost a 23rd round pick.T. BradyR. FitzpatrickJ. ClausenGrade - B+RBs - Mendy will be solid again this year. Lynch will have had more time to get used to Carrol's system. Ivory is a big risk/reward pick. Somewhere along the way Caddy became a great 3rd down back & hoping I get the same kind of production from Keiland Williams (Plus Torain is an injury magnet). Kevin Smith is a pure ltto pick. I hope he gets picked up & contributes somewhere.R. MendenhallM. LynchC. IvoryCa. WilliamsK. WilliamsK.

Vick/Cutler is huge and you were ahead of the curve on QB inflation. Could save you in a down week. terrific work.RB *should* be ok, but you do have some risk here with the potential for no week-in week-out bell cow. Would have like to see a few hacks for the fences in the form of rookies or primary backups. If DeAngelo goes somewhere else, you are looking a lot better here, but RB could be a landmine for you, especially if Reggie doesn't stay healthy and McFadden/Stewart do + DeAngelo stays in Carolina. Don't see upside here outside of injury to co-RBBC backs.Big time upside in your top 3, potential for 3 1's. As long as Simpson is a starter and Roy has a decent-sized role, you should be able to survive a Collie injury. Burress is an excellent pick in 24 man roster. Gettis and Edwards give you long TD potential in any given week. good work here.As you identified, leaving yourself a little exposed here. your QB and WR should protect you, but if Finley has another knee injury your RBs come up snake eyes, then it's all over.Would have liked one more RB or TE instead of Graham, but Graham was still a savvy pick, should definitely start somewhere. still less likely to be needed to save your butt than an upside rookie RB or another passcatcher at TE. Also as you pointed out, pulled the trigger too early on a PK1 with so much RB value on the board, although at least you got Goodson the next round.I can see ways this team will go the distance, which is half the battle, but there are a few spots left open to befall some bad fortune - although in a 16 team league of good draft, I suppose that's the best you can hope for. I really like the boldness and willingness to be proactive instead of reactive.Team BassNBrewQB - Vick / Cutler - Best combo in the league in IMO. Vick will post monster weeks and Cutler is an able backup who will occasionally have monster weeks. With Vick I bacically get a QB1 and RB2 score from one position. Grade A+RB - D. Williams / R. Bush / M. Bush / Goodson / Washington / Bell - Definately risky but I'm happy with the outcome. Williams has top 5 talent and neighbors with Sayers, Sanders, etc in the all time ypc leaders. We'll have to wait and see where he lands to know how good this pick is. Reggie has too much talent not to get touches in this league. Hopefully he's back in NO. Works well in a best ball league as part of a RB2BC. The other Bush could be starting for many teams. I hope he lands elsewhere. Goodson showed his value last year. If DeAngelo signs elsewhere he'll be a 10+ pt weekly producer more often than not based on his rec stats. You gotta believe Seattle works Washington back into the roatation as a 3rd back. Too much talent to keep on the bench. Bell was a flyer but got some work down the stretch. Hard group to grade. I'll say B- with A- upside and C+ downside.WR - Marshall, Collie, S. Moss, Simpson, ROY Williams, Burress, Gettis, Edwards - Loaded at the top end if Collie stays healthy. Collie was a WR1 selection in leagues last year drafting in the middle of the season. Marshall did well with an awful QB situation last year. Moss was a WR2 level producer. Bought into the Simpson hype. ROY will be rostered and produce a handful of scoring weeks. I like Gettis to start in Carolina, took Edwards as a wildcat guy who should see the field under the new regime. Burress...who knows...someone will give a guy with that type of talent a shot. The starting trio is one of the best in this league on paper. Lots of question marks on the depth but one or two should connect. Grade B+TE - Finley, Scaife - Rolling the bones here. One of the best TE1 and worst TE2. Thought about Quarless late but he won't be a difference maker if Finley gets hurt. Grade BK - Hartley, Succup, Graham - I've got three that should have jobs. Grade A+D - NYG, Miami, Oakland - I've got three average to better than average Defs. Grade A+This is one of the favorite teams I've ever drafted in these leagues. Probably has the best potential to win the most immunities in the league, but also carries huge risk potential. I felt like a lot of talent fell to me and I didn't get hurt at RB/WR by starting off with QB/TE due to how the runs played out.Biggest mistake...Knowing how viable kickers fell late, I wish I had passed on my second kicker for a RB like Gephart/McKnight/Tate etc or a viable TE2.
Thanks for the comments Bloom.With 20/20 hindsight I'd agree that going PK there first was a flaw - but picking at the end I had to try and anticipate / start a run rather than waiting for the value picks. Not to fault your draft at all, but you do have the benefit of being in the middle which avoids a positional run between your picks. I saw maybe 20-24 PKs with solid jobs right now and I didn't want to have a sketchy group of two.Like what you did at QB, but I would have made Hill a priority at the 17/18 turn, locking in mid-QB1 production from your QB2. I think Obomanu was unnecessary and I disagree on your certainty that he will start. Also, even if he is starter in name, SEA will employ a rotation and no one outside of BMW will stand out production wiseLove the late Carter pick at RB, was counting on him falling. You need him or Ryan Williams to land in a big role or you might be in trouble. If your team goes out in the first 6-8 weeks it will very likely be due to having RB1 and RB2 with questionable injury history and no firewall type safe producers after them.

D/ST - Three defenses (DAL/HOU/SD) should be one of the top 2-3 teams in this league. Only Bass has 3 and two teams have just one. As I pointed out earlier, that should be good for a 4-8 point advantage several weeks. That's going to be significant I think. Plus DAL and SD are top half defenses. A grade.
Overall - I give it a B. Looking back I think I could have waited at PK2 and gotten Tamme or more RB help. Even though I view RBs as the likely weak link here, I could not see going after a 6th RB with just two starters each week. Given the uncertainty of Randy Moss and the value I saw in Early Doucet that was the direction I chose to go. I'll drop the RB name after the 24th round is over and see if anyone says I should have picked that guy instead.
Solid at WR. Morgan and Doucet in particular were good values where you got them. Would have liked to see maybe one guy somewhat assured of 50+ catches after Edwards to insulate you from his up and down production, but Morgan could be that guy anyway.
TE is adequate at best. Miller was big value where you got him, but you cant afford an injury.
Did not like you going PK1 at he 13/14 turn at all. a Goodson, hardesty, Jennings was much more important to your team, and you could have gotten a PK2 at the 17/18 turn. The 24 roster format even allowed a late pick like Graham or Reed even if you were left out in the cold. If you go out because you are left empty handed at RB earlier, the Akers pick over some quality RBs will have been a big contributor to that downfall.
I don't really see much upside built in to this team at RB/WR, and only QB has the real potential to deliver much higher returns than invested. May last into November, but doesn't have the ability to go the distance.
I think it's a fine strategy, but would have been more advisable to have an RB1 and RB2 with a better health track record if that was the plan all alongI've seen many teams do well in this with junk at RB2. Hopefully my two rookies give me enough in the back half of the year to compensate for either a Gore or Addai hiccup.
Peyton is an ideal QB1 in these leagues, and between Henne and Bulger you're likely to cover his bye, if not get another scoring week or two out of it, although I might have waited on Henne.Would have liked to see more depth at RB with McFadden's durability record and Greene/Grant very likely in timeshares. I did like the move to pair Greene with McKnight, and Redman was a real nice late pick, although with 24 man rosters, 6 or even 7 RBs would have been advisableLots of upside here if Lloyd stays at '10 levels (I think he can be close) and Manningham/Sanders/Hill continue their momentum from '10. It is a bit worrisome that you don't really have firewall types (good bets for 3-5 catches in any given week) among your depth. Young and DHB are good big play guys, but you could step on a landmine with no real proven long-term consistency in this group. I think you really swung and missed when you skipped Mason and DriverDaniels was likely a value in the early 4th, and Cook could be massive, especially with Britt's troubles. I think Rudolph and Bennett were unnecessary picks and should have been Driver and another RB. Rudolph could actually pay instant dividends and as a keep away pick he works, but I think you had a strong enough 1-2 to invest elsewhere.Love late the pick of Henery and if Gano hadn't been there so late, he was going to be my PK2 pick. Mason/Jennings/Hardesty/Goodson would have helped you more than Kaeding will (as opposed to having a mid-level PK1)If you can avoid bad breaks at RB and get some breakouts at WR, you're golden...QB - Peyton ManningQB - Chad HenneQB - Marc BulgerI think Peyton and a healthy receiving corp makes this an A all by himself. Hopefully Henne still has a starting job on Manning's bye. If Bulger ends up in Arizona or Tennessee, and he's over his shell shock, he'll make some potentially good depth.RB - Darren McFaddenRB - Shonn GreeneRB - Ryan GrantRB - Joe McKnightRB - Isaac RedmanDid okay here given its a 16 teamer. Still there are questions to be answered. Can McFadden play a full season? Does Greene get the load as Rex has been saying? Does Grant start or is he in a full rbbc? McKnight did a nice job of getting out of the doghouse, and Redman's there if Tomlin isn't kidding about running Mendy into the ground.I'd say C+ with better odds of the grade improving than dropping.WR - Brandon LloydWR - Mario ManninghamWR - Emmanuel SandersWR - Jason HillWR - Brian RobiskieWR - Darrius Heyward-BeyWR - Titus YoungWR - Chris ChambersWanted a good QB, decent RBs and TEs. As a result, I constructed a wrbc with Brandon Lloyd and a bunch of young but promising kids. I have little faith in Steve Smith north this year, and maybe more faith in Manningham than others. Sanders is being talked up as passing Ward this coming season. I reached on Hill according to Bloom, but I really do like what I've seen from him when he's gotten extended time to play. He made MSW expendible, and Mike Thomas is more of a WR2.C- for now. I'm comfortable with who I drafted, but they still have to prove it to you guys.TE - Owen DanielsTE - Jared CookTE - Kyle RudolphTE - Martellus BennettI like em. Up and down I like what I have... but without a super stud among them,BPK - Nate KaedingPK - Alex HeneryOne really good kicker and the top draft prospect at kicker.BDS - PatriotsDS - BroncosPatriots produce and it sounds like several of those high picks will go towards the defense. Broncos were lousy last year but decent the year before. Given the remaining choices at the time, I think they were the best bet to bounce back.B-
QBs aren't that different from mine, but you really need Bradford to stay healthy. In hindsight, with your top 2 WRs and the extra roster spots, you really should have went QB-QB in 4/5. Holmes was unnecessary. I know I wish I had gone QB-QB in those rounds.I actually think Scott could be a very strong contributor. Not a fan of Torain either. Jennings and Forsett have the ability to be good producers with opportunity. Reece was a sneaky good late pick with no real pizzazz at RB2. WR or QB would have helped more than Dwyer.Mu Adequate, which matches the level of investment.Murderer's row of a top 3 at WR, but ugly after that. You have little margin of error even though you invested 3 of your first 4 picks here. It could work out, but this shouldn't feel so vulnerable.I think Lewis was real value, and while Watson is up and down, you can ride that out in this format. Dickson was a real good late pick if only for keepaway, but he could pay off huge if Heap can't stay healthy (what are the odds?)Your first five picks have to stay healthy and they have to be consistent studliness for you to go deep. I'm afraid that is asking a lot with factors like ARI's QB problem and Desean's occasional dud working against you.'jeter23 said:My team:QB:BradfordKolbFlynnLooks pretty weak right now.

Heck, I may learn from your drafting, who knows if I'm right, I just call em like I see em.

Love that you got Kitna, QB2 could be an issue if SEA gets Kolb. Hate to see a zero built into your schedule, although Mallett could save you. Not loving that you have 4 spots devoted to QB and still seem about 50/50 to have no QB when DAL is on bye.In what seems to be a theme among these reviews, I think lack of depth at RB is leaving you vulnerable.

On to the draft, IMO these should all have 4 hour clocks, with phones and an internet connection everywhere no reason to not be able to check in during the day within 4 hours. That being said 24 rounds felt like too many, 22 might be the right size.
Anyway on to team BSS which is going for the 3-peat:
QB- Tony R0m0, Jon Kitna, Charlie Whitehurst, Ryan Mallett
Had to get a top6/7 QB IMO, Tony Romo has weapons galore and should rebound from a broken bone just fine. Just in case though, Jon Kitna was starting in superbowl match-ups in FFL land just last year. Whitehurst and Mallet are just end of the roster chumps and maybe cobble together 1 or 2 scoring weeks for me.
RB- Ray Rice,Beanie Wells, Tim Hightower, Marion Barber III, Jordan Todman, Steve Slaton
Ray Rice averages 70 catches a year, and between Beanie/Hightower I should get decent RB2 points. MB3 is long in the tooth IMO I would love it if he left Dallas because that Oline sux0rs. The Todman pick is purely upside, I think he is a top 5 rookie RB pick and might go as high as round2 in the NFL draft. Slaton well I had a man crush on him and in the Houston system all you need is a chance. Overall outside of Rice this is a weak unit, but in this format I always draft my squads to be RB2 weak, its how I roll
WR- Vincent Jackson, Michael Crabtree,Lance Moore, Jacoby Jones, Nate Burleson, Eddie Royal, Jarrett Dillard, Vincent Brown
If there is football Vjax will play the whole season with Rivers and Gates keeping double teams away from him. Crabtree has too much talent not to break out in year 3, need a Qb there, Harbaugh should get him the rock. Lance Moore produces and in this format I dont have to pick Jacoby Jones big games. Detroit started to win when Burleson was healthy, Eddie Royal and Jarrett Dillard have a chance to start. Vincent Brown is a round 24 rookie. Like what I did here.
TE- Brandon Pettigrew, Dustin Keller
Pettigrew has 70 catches with 3 different QBs and Keller was hot while S.holmes didnt play, still finished like 7th at TE. Great solid duo to help maximize points at 2 PPR.
K- Billy Cundiff, John Kasay
D- Falcons, Chefs
Defense and K - who cares got 2 of each
Why I could win it - Solid squad from top to bottom
Why I could flame out - Injuries to Romo and lack of depth behind him. RBs outside of Rice is very weak
Later boys and good drafting
Have the 2011 bye weeks been released yet? There might be a few of us in a similar boat.Love that you got Kitna, QB2 could be an issue if SEA gets Kolb.

QB- Tony R0m0, Jon Kitna, Charlie Whitehurst, Ryan Mallett
Had to get a top6/7 QB IMO, Tony Romo has weapons galore and should rebound from a broken bone just fine. Just in case though, Jon Kitna was starting in superbowl match-ups in FFL land just last year. Whitehurst and Mallet are just end of the roster chumps and maybe cobble together 1 or 2 scoring weeks for me.
RB- Ray Rice,Beanie Wells, Tim Hightower, Marion Barber III, Jordan Todman, Steve Slaton
Ray Rice averages 70 catches a year, and between Beanie/Hightower I should get decent RB2 points. MB3 is long in the tooth IMO I would love it if he left Dallas because that Oline sux0rs. The Todman pick is purely upside, I think he is a top 5 rookie RB pick and might go as high as round2 in the NFL draft. Slaton well I had a man crush on him and in the Houston system all you need is a chance. Overall outside of Rice this is a weak unit, but in this format I always draft my squads to be RB2 weak, its how I roll
WR- Vincent Jackson, Michael Crabtree,Lance Moore, Jacoby Jones, Nate Burleson, Eddie Royal, Jarrett Dillard, Vincent Brown
If there is football Vjax will play the whole season with Rivers and Gates keeping double teams away from him. Crabtree has too much talent not to break out in year 3, need a Qb there, Harbaugh should get him the rock. Lance Moore produces and in this format I dont have to pick Jacoby Jones big games. Detroit started to win when Burleson was healthy, Eddie Royal and Jarrett Dillard have a chance to start. Vincent Brown is a round 24 rookie. Like what I did here.
TE- Brandon Pettigrew, Dustin Keller
Pettigrew has 70 catches with 3 different QBs and Keller was hot while S.holmes didnt play, still finished like 7th at TE. Great solid duo to help maximize points at 2 PPR.
K- Billy Cundiff, John Kasay
D- Falcons, Chefs
Defense and K - who cares got 2 of each
Why I could win it - Solid squad from top to bottom
Why I could flame out - Injuries to Romo and lack of depth behind him. RBs outside of Rice is very weak
Later boys and good drafting
excellent job at WR -moore, jones, burleson, royal, dillard all have potential to vastly exceed pick invested- great depth and ROI here
pettigrew was a bit of a reach but you got another top 18 TE, maybe the winning strategy at TE with the depth at the position.
really like the minimal approach at D/PK, wait as long as you can to get 2.
survive DAL's and Rice's bye, and have either ARI break out as a team or Wells break out as an RB, and you can pull this off.
Im with you on RB2BC, I just think there would have been a lot better ways to invest that 6th/8th than locking up the ARI running gameThanks Bloom, Ive done alot of these over the years and won alot too.Love that you got Kitna, QB2 could be an issue if SEA gets Kolb. Hate to see a zero built into your schedule, although Mallett could save you. Not loving that you have 4 spots devoted to QB and still seem about 50/50 to have no QB when DAL is on bye.In what seems to be a theme among these reviews, I think lack of depth at RB is leaving you vulnerable. If I'm going to spend two picks to lock up a running game, ARI's ain't it. Unless Todman ends up in a plum spot, you might have some harsh weeks here. If ARI has a down week when Rice is on bye, disaster'bicycle_seat_sniffer said:First of all let me say thanks for everyone on the greatest draft ever. Great pace anda 7+ page comment thread. Sprinkle in the hi-jinx and hilarity of the Critic.

Mostly my stratgey is to get a good #1 rb, and then pick everything else but RB2. I usually also go Stud QB or Stud TE and then basically hope to ride out the stud at that spot.
IMO Pettigrew/Keller will be deadly at TE. both guys were over 65 catches just last year and Petti was coming off a major injury
Many way to skin this cat, but IMO RB2 is the spot to be weak.
FC...you knocked my A+ self assessment at QB as "homerism", but now you and two others have graded it out as #1 in the league. Retraction???'Football Critic said:Ok, lets do it this way. As a whole compared to others...Quarterbacks1. BassNBrew: M. Vick & J. Cutler - I like it, Vick should put up numbers if he stays healthy, and Cutler should have a few weeks where he can pick up for the down ones vick has. I like many QBs better then Vick, but as far as the whole position, the run away #12. Football Critic: D. Brees, V. Young & J. Locker - After that I go off the rank of the #1 QB, cuz if you have a top 6 QB, your backups to me dont matter, as you would not of invested a high pick in another QB. With that said, I know injuries matter and happen but you cant predict, I only predict if players have a horrible track record, Like a Vick or gore. I like Arod better then Brees, but I like young better then Tebow so their is the tiebreak.3. Stinkin Ref: A. Rodgers & T. Tebow - stated above.4. Steel Dillo: T. Brady, R. Fitzpatrick & J. Clausen - Tom brady sure fire starter and should play every week, he is still better on his bad weeks then Derek Ander...I mean Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Clausen? He is already just about out, so he dont matter.5. Orgazmo: P. Manning, C. Henne & M. Bulger - Peyton is a stud, and if you even have Henne or Bulger factor in your rank, then your telling me Manning is not gonna play every week, I disagree, he is a sure fire starter who always puts up points, Henne and Bulger dont matter.6. Norseman: P. Rivers & K. Orton - Rivers is a stud. Orton will start.7. Jeff P: E. Manning, M. Stafford & R. Grossman - Manning and Stafford combined is not bad, enough up weeks for them to equal one good starter.8. BSS: T. Romo, J. Kitna, C. Whitehurst & R. Mallett - No real backup of points for the given week, and only if Romo goes down do u get Kitnas points. Whitehurst is a good #3 but Mallett is a rook, no sure playin time.9. kruppe: Roethlisberger, C. Palmer & M. Kafka - Big Ben gets this ranking by himself, Palmer may retire and Kafka wont play.10. Jeter23: S. Bradford, K. Kolb & M. Flynn - A middle of the road QB, with hopes Kolb gets traded and Flynn too. If they dont you only have Bradford, ugh.11. GetInTheMix: M. Schaub, M. Hasselbeck & A. Smith - Would of been ranked lower if not for Schaub.12. Reaper: J. Flacco & D. Garrard - R u worried at this position? I am for u.13. Bloom: M. Ryan, D. McNabb & S.

Campbell, C. Newton & J. Webb - When your down here you dont need insight, you know whats up.16. eakfootball: M. Sanchez, B. Gabbert & T. Thigpen – Yuck. Agreed...man this is gawd awful.
No, you have the best combo if both stay healthy, but as I predict... VICK CANNOT, IMHO. So now your down to just Cutler, and that my friend just sux. You have the best ranked pair going into the season, do you not know how preseason ranking work, or r u new to this? But i promise Vick style will get him hurt, and when he does, bye bye to your team.I gave it a high grade, his injury record is why you dont get an A+. If you had Brees and Cutler, you would of got an A+ do to Brees being less of a risk, maybe...as Brees normally stays healthy. But we are going off preseason predictions, we aint even seen the schedule yet. As far as other rankings, dude, someone actually put the team with J. Freeman and C. McCoy above Brees. Now your telling they both on average will outscore Brees on a weekly basis? No Brees will better them both 9 out of 10 weeks. So unless Brees gets hurt do I need a backup. But as I explained I like Rodgers more then Brees, so then you look to backups, and Tebow wont start but I believe Young will, so its why Brees and my scrub get #2, and Arod and his scrub gets #3. The elite player in preseason rankings far outweigh the scrubs with no track record as of now.Its quite simple how I rank, you claim to read the posts Bass, well maybe you actually truly start reading them. lolFC...you knocked my A+ self assessment at QB as "homerism", but now you and two others have graded it out as #1 in the league.

Rivers was a fine pick where you got him, but Orton was a probably an unwise use of a 7th as he isnt even assured of covering Rivers bye. I would have probably went another direction and took Volek and another backup or possible starter like Grossman/Bulger/Whitehurst late instead because your #1 is so strong.I like what you did at RB a lot, and you should have contributors five deep. Choice, Snelling, and TJ were excellent values where you got them and you did a terrific job of taking advantage of the deflation of 3rd/4th tier RBs. Moore might have been unneccessary just because I think he lacks upside. A rook longshot or QB would have been a better use.Not one of my best drafts. I was a little distracted for some of it, but had a few good value picks in the last third. Would change a few picks if we did this again. (which we could, as fast as most of it went. It was a great draft guys)
QB-Rivers, Orton—Was glad to get Rivers as the 6th QB off the board. Should get good production from him. Waited a little too long for QB2, so unless Orton gets the starting spot over Tebow or gets traded, I could be going solo. Considered Volek in round 24, but he is a FA. Grade B with upside to A/A- if Orton starts most of the year.
RB-McCoy, Blount, Choice, Snelling, T. Jones, M. Moore—Like McCoy to take a step up this year, and look for a full season starting out of Blount. Choice may be in for more action if Barber is let go. Snelling is money if Turner goes down for any amount of time. Great value for Thomas Jones in the 18th round, especially if Charles misses any time. Moore is just extra depth that hopefully contributes for me. Grade C+/B-
WR-W. Welker, P. Garcon, M. Floyd, Gaffney, Driver, B. White, TJ Houshmandzadeh, P. Crayton, D. Briscoe—Welker should be good for over 100 catches again this year, being his second year after the knee surgery. Garcon should have some big games, and if Collie has more injury issues, Blair White should score for me several times. Floyd, Driver, and Crayton all are vets with good/great QB’s throwing to them. Gaffney should be in the mix in Denver, with D. Thomas out for most of the year. Housh was a great value in round 21 and should improve his chemistry with Flacco in year 2. The coaches like Dezmon Briscoe and if Benn has any setbacks in his injury rehab, could actually be the number 2. With 9 deep, I should get 3 good scores most weeks. Grade B-
TE-A. Hernandez, H. Miller, D. Thomas—Waited a little too long to hits the TE position. Hernandez had several big games last year, but some clunkers too. Miller is pretty steady for his off weeks hopefully. Dave Thomas has Drew Brees throwing to him, so he could have some big games. And if the same thing happens to this year’s hot rising TE that happen to last year’s, Thomas will be starting for one of the most prolific passing offenses in the NFL. Considered a 4th in the last round. Grade C
DEF-Chicago, New Orleans—Chicago was top 5 last year, and N.O. was top 5 the year before, so if they rebound from their Super Bowl slump, I could be set. Grade B-
K-Folk, Barth—I have two that should both keep their jobs, one in warm weather. Considered a third, but they were taken before my last pick. Should have grabbed them in round 23 and waited for Briscoe in the 24th. I was the only one to pick him in the WSL’s, we will see in the PDSL’s. Grade C+
Overall, no terrible weaknesses. Should survive the first half, and with a little luck could be battling it out in the end. Overall grade C+
Cant argue with Brees as a #1 and with extra roster spots a few shots at covering the bye were called for. Solid job, although maybe Bulger/Grossman instead of Locker would have worked out better. Maybe even Ponder instead of Locker since he is more polished (how did Ponder not get drafted?)Good enough at RB with Benson and BJGE having potential to vastly outproduce draft slot and good backups in Dixon and Ringer that could be jackpot picks. Lewis is exactly the kind of upside rookie that everyone should have one of in a 24 man roster draft and I see the risk/reward argument on Portis that late. You are lacking big game upside here for the most part, but not a problem area.You should be fine at WR, but I would have liked to see the commitment to depth here that you had at RB. Rice, Meachem, and McCluster give you big play upside and Maclin/Ward should be consistent. That could be the extent of your producers (not sold on Baldwin in year one and Naanee was a major disappointment in '10) which could be something you stub your toe on if injuries hit this group or bye line up in an unfortunate way. You like those Pitt rooks, huh? Winslow, Shiancoe should work, but I would have taken the other ZM or Lewis over KW - I think KW is close to decline and the trend in his numbers shows it. If he can put up big #s with rookie WRs playing next to him, don't see him going any direction but down. Shiancoe's lack of production w/o Favre is worrisome, but he'll get snaps and targets. JAX ZM can give you a few big play weeks as long as he can stay healthy. Not a strength at all, but not a glaring weakness.I would have waited on DST1 and gone WR instead of BAL, otherwise i like the strategy at K/D, especially having to handle picking at the turn.overall a team without any major issues, but its hard to picture scenarios where it ends up being on the 3-4 strongest teams in the league. It can hang around, but will probably get knocked out when it gets down to the final 5-7.Please, feel free to break it down.QB - Drew Brees, Vince Young, Jake Locker ®Not a fan of my depth, but the injury concern with any player is just one hit away, but Brees seems to play every snap, and no reason to think other wise. So since Brees will most def produce, yet again, and I'm, shocked he was not the first QB gone. He is an A+. Vince Young will play somewhere and start I believe, I hope he can keep his head on, and he was doing good before he got hurt and his and Fishers issues. He is bye week filler, and if Brees gets hurt my team is done anyways. A- in the position, because backups dont matter when you have an super stud who is likely to take every snap at this position.RB - Steven Jackson, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Cedric Benson, Anthony Dixon, Dion Lewis ®, Javon Ringer, Clinton PortisSJax always produces, and I read in the above post if SJax can stay healthy...true he gets banged up, BUT HE STILL PLAYS. With Bradford a year older and WRs who got hurt last year back and just the fact SJax is a beast, he should get a few more TDs will make him out value where he was taken. SJax A-. If NE drafts a RB, then i believe BJGE may not be as productive, but he showed he still will have value in a timeshare. He will still get the goalline looks and catch a few passes, B- for BJGE. Cedric, will he be in Cincy or somewhere else. We all say it every year, Cedric Benson or someone else when we draft. Cedric slid way further then he should, so good value pick and he does produce, B. My depth is ok, i relly believe Gore is on his last leg so Dixon should see an drastic increase in reps, and dion Lewis is a rookie and with all rookies lets see where he ends up. Ringer is the Wildcard, if CJ goes down, I struck something there, no doubt. He has shown many signs of life when given a chance to fill in for CJ. As far as Portis, lol..he is my 7th runner. His upside? He will land somewhere and get a few reps, I only need him if the other 6 completely suck. I'm not expecting anything from him, I took him in round 22. Overall my depth is a B-/C+...so for the position i give myself a BWR - Jeremy Maclin, Sidney Rice, Hines Ward, Robert Meachem, Jonathan Baldwin ®, Dexter McCluster, Legadu NaaneeSome may not like it but I love it. Maclin did better than DJax and he was taken much higher then Maclin. Djax had more yards by 90, but Maclin had more catches by 20+ and more TDs, even with DJax on special teams. Maclin is a true up and coming stud with WR1 numbers for sure. Sidney Rice was hurt most of last year, and stats can t really show his potential. He may or may not be in Minny, but he will be a player on many teams radar who is looking for a #1 wr. Hines always produces and is perfect as a #3 wr. If he was my #2 I would be worried, but I expect Rice to take that role. 60/800/6 is right about where you want your #3 to be. Meachem is in an offense that has brees as a QB. He has shown his upside, and with colston having bumb knees and Nawlins being a passing offense, I look for meachem to be a legitimate #3 wr this year. My depth, meh, Mccluster should get some catches, Balwin I just hope goes to someone who uses him now, and NaaNee? Well we know he will get one good game, and then dissappear, lol. Overall at this position i give a B-TE - Kellen Winslow, Vishante Shiancoe, Zach Miller (Jax)No elite stud really, but together they are a great 1/2 punch. I should get good points each week from one of them, and Miller is a late round flyer who was suppose to have an impact last year before his injury. Slightly better then average, C+K - Robbie Gould, Lawrence TynesOnly need 2, and both are good. B+D - Baltimore, JacksonvilleBaltimore blew up when Reed came back, they have always been good, as far as Jax, I hope they have a few good weeks. They are defenses who should be just good enough to keep me alive a few weeks. B-Overall I give myself a B, low risk, but injuries are always possible.
havent really looked at all the teams yet, etc....but razor this really jumped out at me reading through the posts that have been put up so far....I am not sold on your RB's....Peterson is a stud so that is a good start....but if lays an egg one week I think you are in trouble...and when/if he lays that egg, it doesn't mean Toby is going to have a stat line that you can use.....one of the biggest things with this group is that I have been hearing that McKinght might take over the #2 role from LT....that would worry me here....no idea what Hardesty role will be coming off major injury and who knows about the rooks and where they will go and what their role will be when they get there....if one and or both of them pan out into a significant role, then you might be ok, but at this point I think your grade is a little high with 1 stud, his backup, a guy who may lose the #2 job, a guy coming off major surgery behind a bell cow, and two rooks......not trying to say anything more than generate discussion and you mentioned like many others have that it is your strategy to kind of sluff off the RB2 position....and if that is the goal , I think you did a fine job, but as of "right now" after Peterson you have all question marks.....Team rzrback77
QB (3) – Josh Freeman #12, Colt McCoy #26, and Josh Johnson #46
Understating this was not my best position. In retrospect, I probably should have taken Freeman and Flacco back to back. I went in to the draft expecting to wait on TEs and should have stayed the course. I really value Cooley though and thought that he was a bargain at TE #8. I like Josh Freeman for 2011and going forward. He is one of those strong armed QBs that also can run a little and should score well. After the next batch went, I held off on taking my second one as long as I could and almost waited too long. I like McCoy, especially in the new West Coast offense and think that he will be a bargain as the #26 QB. I was planning to grab the Rookie Hog signal caller, but he got sniped and at the last pick, Johnson seemed like a nice lottery ticket. At worst, he is Freeman insurance and wowzer is he heads out west to San Francisco. Not as bad as they seem and I’ll give them a C-.
RB (6) – Peterson #1, LT #40, Gerhart #51, Hardesty #57, Murry #62, & Vereen #82
I am really pleased with the stable I wound up with, especially to wait until RB #40 to get my second at 8.16. I am a huge Peterson fan and have never owned him in any league. If he does get injured, I believe that Gerhart will be a nice lug-in. I only need for one of LT, Hardesty, Murry, or Vereen to post another score. I typically use this type of scatter-shot approach for RB 2 in these 16 team survivors because there is such a shallow pool of studs and some of the big producers are RBs that were not even selected in the WSLs and PDSLs. I expanded my number here with the 24 rounds and like what I have. I rate this group a B+.
WR (8) – Wayne #8, Bowe #9, Car Smith #33, Washington #66, Roberts #94, Hartline #95, Douglas #105, and Robinson #114
I got a certified steal in Wayne at the bottom of round two. I really like Bowe in this format as he has some huge weeks to carry a team. I think that Carolina Smith is another bargain at WR #33. After those three I tried to get guys that could step up into a possession receiver role (Roberts and Douglas) or guys that have had a high ypc before (Washington & Hartline). L Robinson is a hope and a prayer late. I really like this group and rate then similar to my RBs as a B or B+.
TE (3) – Cooley #8, Gonzalez #16, and Walker #44
Cooley has been a consistently highly targeted TE. I know that Gonzo is aging, but he has scored well for the Falcons since going there. Walker won’t score much unless there is an injury, but when he has played, he has been productive and he has nice upside for TE #44. I give this group another B+.
PK (2) - Rackers and Feely – not bad and I’ll rate them a C.
DST (2) – Steelers and Packers - I like this duo and give them a B+.
Overall, I like the depth across the board and unless the bye weeks really hammer me, I like the chances of this squad to advance.
It was a great and lively draft and I have to give BSS some kudos for putting all of us together. I had a great time.
I like your review, very honest and I appreciate that as that is all I ask for.When I drafted this team, my strategy is limiting risk. I think I did an good job in that dept. I feel if you limit risk you give yourself a better chance to stay alive for many weeks in a game that is virtually all luck. If Brees or SJax gets hurt I'm basically done anyways. My weakness I believe is WR, but with Maclin being undervalued for what he has show he is cpable of is a steal. I had some better ideas but being in the turn and getting caught in runs effect that. In all I belive I drafted really well considering being in the 15th spot, which I believe was the worst spot and BSS new that when he put me here, lol. the most solid part of this team is RB, as I truly belive Gore will get hurt again, as he has shown he is made of glass, and if he dont, I'm certain Harbaugh gives Dixon more reps to keep Gore fresh. CJ has been getting all the carries and deserves them, but the way he runs, I'm shocked he has not been hurt bouncing it out like he does...Its part of why i was targeting Ringer late.I honestly feel I have one of the better teams as a whole, but with all the factors, who knows. thats why this is preseason rankings. I do recall people ripping me when i drafted Vick as my #2 last year when I had Brees, and got laughed at even harder when I claimed blount would be something, soooo...who knows what will happen.Cant argue with Brees as a #1 and with extra roster spots a few shots at covering the bye were called for. Solid job, although maybe Bulger/Grossman instead of Locker would have worked out better. Maybe even Ponder instead of Locker since he is more polished (how did Ponder not get drafted?)Good enough at RB with Benson and BJGE having potential to vastly outproduce draft slot and good backups in Dixon and Ringer that could be jackpot picks.

JAX ZM can give you a few big play weeks as long as he can stay healthy. Not a strength at all, but not a glaring weakness.I would have waited on DST1 and gone WR instead of BAL, otherwise i like the strategy at K/D, especially having to handle picking at the turn.overall a team without any major issues, but its hard to picture scenarios where it ends up being on the 3-4 strongest teams in the league. It can hang around, but will probably get knocked out when it gets down to the final 5-7.Please, feel free to break it down.QB - Drew Brees, Vince Young, Jake Locker ®Not a fan of my depth, but the injury concern with any player is just one hit away, but Brees seems to play every snap, and no reason to think other wise. So since Brees will most def produce, yet again, and I'm, shocked he was not the first QB gone. He is an A+. Vince Young will play somewhere and start I believe, I hope he can keep his head on, and he was doing good before he got hurt and his and Fishers issues. He is bye week filler, and if Brees gets hurt my team is done anyways. A- in the position, because backups dont matter when you have an super stud who is likely to take every snap at this position.RB - Steven Jackson, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Cedric Benson, Anthony Dixon, Dion Lewis ®, Javon Ringer, Clinton PortisSJax always produces, and I read in the above post if SJax can stay healthy...true he gets banged up, BUT HE STILL PLAYS. With Bradford a year older and WRs who got hurt last year back and just the fact SJax is a beast, he should get a few more TDs will make him out value where he was taken. SJax A-. If NE drafts a RB, then i believe BJGE may not be as productive, but he showed he still will have value in a timeshare. He will still get the goalline looks and catch a few passes, B- for BJGE. Cedric, will he be in Cincy or somewhere else. We all say it every year, Cedric Benson or someone else when we draft. Cedric slid way further then he should, so good value pick and he does produce, B. My depth is ok, i relly believe Gore is on his last leg so Dixon should see an drastic increase in reps, and dion Lewis is a rookie and with all rookies lets see where he ends up. Ringer is the Wildcard, if CJ goes down, I struck something there, no doubt. He has shown many signs of life when given a chance to fill in for CJ. As far as Portis, lol..he is my 7th runner. His upside? He will land somewhere and get a few reps, I only need him if the other 6 completely suck. I'm not expecting anything from him, I took him in round 22. Overall my depth is a B-/C+...so for the position i give myself a BWR - Jeremy Maclin, Sidney Rice, Hines Ward, Robert Meachem, Jonathan Baldwin ®, Dexter McCluster, Legadu NaaneeSome may not like it but I love it. Maclin did better than DJax and he was taken much higher then Maclin. Djax had more yards by 90, but Maclin had more catches by 20+ and more TDs, even with DJax on special teams. Maclin is a true up and coming stud with WR1 numbers for sure. Sidney Rice was hurt most of last year, and stats can t really show his potential. He may or may not be in Minny, but he will be a player on many teams radar who is looking for a #1 wr. Hines always produces and is perfect as a #3 wr. If he was my #2 I would be worried, but I expect Rice to take that role. 60/800/6 is right about where you want your #3 to be. Meachem is in an offense that has brees as a QB. He has shown his upside, and with colston having bumb knees and Nawlins being a passing offense, I look for meachem to be a legitimate #3 wr this year. My depth, meh, Mccluster should get some catches, Balwin I just hope goes to someone who uses him now, and NaaNee? Well we know he will get one good game, and then dissappear, lol. Overall at this position i give a B-TE - Kellen Winslow, Vishante Shiancoe, Zach Miller (Jax)No elite stud really, but together they are a great 1/2 punch. I should get good points each week from one of them, and Miller is a late round flyer who was suppose to have an impact last year before his injury. Slightly better then average, C+K - Robbie Gould, Lawrence TynesOnly need 2, and both are good. B+D - Baltimore, JacksonvilleBaltimore blew up when Reed came back, they have always been good, as far as Jax, I hope they have a few good weeks. They are defenses who should be just good enough to keep me alive a few weeks. B-Overall I give myself a B, low risk, but injuries are always possible.
Wow.one of the biggest things with this group is that I have been hearing that McKinght might take over the #2 role from LT....that would worry me here
Read that....And for every statement I can match 3 that read similar to "This is the most excited I've ever been about Vernon Gholston," Ryan said. Aug 2010 or"He's going to be an excellent player, I really think that," Ryan said. nov. 2010 re: Gholston.That last comment about work ethic IMO is the key combined with this work stoppage, I feel as though this is all a message sent out to Mcknight more than anything else....Again, we know LT is out-working everyone right now and if healthy he'll be hard to beat - the following year the Jets will need a replacement - they need to see Mcknight at his best and determine if he has a role.- Also not a fan of Cimini.Hey if Mcknight has an offseason like LT always does and comes in and looks great then that's great news for the Jets.fwiw...ESPN New York's Rich Cimini suggests that Joe McKnight could rise as high as No. 2 on the Jets' depth chart, surpassing LaDainian Tomlinson.Cimini says McKnight "matured" throughout his rookie year, and he offers more speed than LT in a change-up role behind Shonn Greene. In this scenario, Tomlinson would play only on third downs. We have a sneaking suspicion that LT will be overdrafted in 2011 fantasy leagues. McKnight will likely go undrafted, and could wind up with just as much production, if not more. Apr 7, 10:00 AMSource: ESPN New York Joe McKnight has "no doubt" earned a bigger ball-carrying role for the Jets in 2011, according to coach Rex Ryan.Rex even suggested that McKnight will begin receiving first-down carries at times ahead of Shonn Greene and LaDanian Tomlinson. "He's come a million miles," said Ryan. McKnight impressed with a 32-carry, 158-yard performance in the season finale, but we still like him more in Dynasty leagues than redraft. As long as Tomlinson is on the roster, McKnight is a poor bet for more than a handful of touches per game. Mar 22, 1:41 PMSource: Rod Boone on Twitter Jets RB Joe McKnight promises to be more diligent in his offseason training as a second-year player.McKnight's conditioning came under fire last summer, and he admitted his first NFL season was "pretty bad." The fourth-round rookie did show promise with 173 yards on 34 touches in the Jets' regular season finale. Talent has never been an issue for McKnight as much as work ethic and ball security.

Is ponder supposed to be that good? I think he stinksCant argue with Brees as a #1 and with extra roster spots a few shots at covering the bye were called for. Solid job, although maybe Bulger/Grossman instead of Locker would have worked out better. Maybe even Ponder instead of Locker since he is more polished (how did Ponder not get drafted?)Good enough at RB with Benson and BJGE having potential to vastly outproduce draft slot and good backups in Dixon and Ringer that could be jackpot picks. Lewis is exactly the kind of upside rookie that everyone should have one of in a 24 man roster draft and I see the risk/reward argument on Portis that late. You are lacking big game upside here for the most part, but not a problem area.Please, feel free to break it down.

You should be fine at WR, but I would have liked to see the commitment to depth here that you had at RB. Rice, Meachem, and McCluster give you big play upside and Maclin/Ward should be consistent. That could be the extent of your producers (not sold on Baldwin in year one and Naanee was a major disappointment in '10) which could be something you stub your toe on if injuries hit this group or bye line up in an unfortunate way. You like those Pitt rooks, huh?
Winslow, Shiancoe should work, but I would have taken the other ZM or Lewis over KW - I think KW is close to decline and the trend in his numbers shows it. If he can put up big #s with rookie WRs playing next to him, don't see him going any direction but down. Shiancoe's lack of production w/o Favre is worrisome, but he'll get snaps and targets.

overall a team without any major issues, but its hard to picture scenarios where it ends up being on the 3-4 strongest teams in the league. It can hang around, but will probably get knocked out when it gets down to the final 5-7.
I think that most underestimated LT in 2010 and I hope that he provides some scoring for me in 2011. However, he was not who I was waiting for and I was troubled at the guys that all went just ahead of my pick there. I do think that the potential for small scoring with LT and his receptions was undervalued here and that may have been Ryan's talk about McKnight. I also like the potential for Hardesty and PK and Tim Ryan have spoken highly of Murry who is a polished receiver out of the backfield. I do not think that I am "counting" on LT as a consistent #2 RB, but will hopefully use his scoring about half of the time.and thanks for the compliment that I succeeded in accomplishing the sluff off RB2, that was hilarious.havent really looked at all the teams yet, etc....but razor this really jumped out at me reading through the posts that have been put up so far....I am not sold on your RB's....Peterson is a stud so that is a good start....but if lays an egg one week I think you are in trouble...and when/if he lays that egg, it doesn't mean Toby is going to have a stat line that you can use.....one of the biggest things with this group is that I have been hearing that McKinght might take over the #2 role from LT....that would worry me here....no idea what Hardesty role will be coming off major injury and who knows about the rooks and where they will go and what their role will be when they get there....if one and or both of them pan out into a significant role, then you might be ok, but at this point I think your grade is a little high with 1 stud, his backup, a guy who may lose the #2 job, a guy coming off major surgery behind a bell cow, and two rooks......not trying to say anything more than generate discussion and you mentioned like many others have that it is your strategy to kind of sluff off the RB2 position....and if that is the goal , I think you did a fine job, but as of "right now" after Peterson you have all question marks.....
mainly most ready to start out of this class by most accounts - so for the purposes of having a shot to cover a bye, he is as good as any of the other rooksIs ponder supposed to be that good? I think he stinks

If you believe the press clippings, he made big strides. And even if you don't, that 30+ carry game certainly should tell the coaches that he's an investment worthy of any extra coaching/training he may require.Read that....And for every statement I can match 3 that read similar to "This is the most excited I've ever been about Vernon Gholston," Ryan said.

You know that Carolina Steve Smith sucks right? Hes done put a fork in himOne view of the rankings for WR. This was really quick and dirty.

Not to mention, Bowe no longer has Weiss saying "Throw it to Bowe no matter what', also...we know what Bowe was before Weiss, he will fall back. wayne took a step back last year, looks like Marvin all over again.

My receiver are better than yours. HTHOk, lets break this down to true rankings. WR is far different thean QB in regards to the get hurt more, you start 3, and its a ppr...so the 3 or 4 others you refer to matter a little bit more then just having the one stud. But in the spirit of ranking the starters I will do so, with the others breaking the tie.
1) Jeter23 – Fitz, D Jackson, Holmes and four others

If i need to break down i will, I'll wait for someone to spazz and say they were ranked wrong, lol
