Hey Ref...thanks for doing these. I'm reading every word...
Hey Ref...thanks for doing these. I'm reading every word...
Thanks for doing these Ref. I pretty much agree with everything regarding my team. I have not looked closely at most f the other team, but middle or the pack is about where I see my team finishing.5.05 - Jeter23 - Sam Bradford, STL, QB147.05 - Jeter23 - Kevin Kolb, PHI, QB2119.05 - Jeter23 - Matt Flynn, GB, QB34I really like Bradford in that offense and he even gets more of a boost with McD in town. Expect him to out produce the QB14 spot where you got him. After that man I don’t know. You are banking on Kolb getting traded but just not sure that happens. If it does, it vaults you up probably 10 spots in QB only rankings, but if not, trouble. Was looking at your draft and to me the key pick for you was the Holmes pick. When you went WR with 3 of your first 4 picks it really dictated a few things. In a start 3 WR I can see why you did what you did, and you probably knew it would have some consequence. While not directly affecting your backup QB, I think it did somewhat. Could be in trouble here, but I like the Bradford pick.1.05 - Jeter23 - Jamaal Charles, KC, RB58.12 - jeter23 - Ryan Torain, WASH, RB3711.05 - Jeter23 - Bernard Scott, CIN, RB4814.12 - jeter23 - Rashad Jennings, TEN, RB5517.05 - Jeter23 - Justin Forsett, SEA, RB6322.12 - jeter23 - Marcel Reece, OAK, RB8724.12 - jeter23 - Jonathan Dwyer, PIT, RB97Whew….I like Torain probably more than most people in these things, but if he isn’t what we think, you could be hurtin here. I think you even mentioned you needed a body and there he was. I think he’s got game, but obviously this is where the Holmes pick had the most affect on your team. Holmes seemed a little bit like a luxury with Fitz and Desean on board. So then you have to go Bradford where you got him. If you don’t take Holmes, one of your 4/5 picks could be a RB2 and Bradford. Now by the time it gets back to you in 6th almost all the RB’s are dried up. I understand the Lewis pick as he seemed like value there as TE15 and you can’t really pass that up. But that also cost you RB and then you went Kolb in 7th. Tough run not getting two RB’s in 1st seven picks and picking towards the end of round 8. You have some solid depth here in that your backups could still be productive, but we’ll see. In this draft the name Jason Campbell keeps popping up for me as I think he was a little undervalued with all of the question marks at QB and OAK seeming have committed to him. I would have liked him on this team instead of Kolb. You could have gotten him in the 9th, a RB2 with the 4th and a solid WR3 with the 7th, maybe not a Holmes, but possibly close. 2.12- jeter23 - Larry FItzgerald, ARI, WR73.05 - Jeter23 - Desean Jackson, PHI, WR124.12- jeter23 - Santonio Holmes, NYJ, WR249.05 - Jeter23 - Davone Bess, MIA, WR4818.12 - jeter23 - Eric Decker, DEN, WR9221.05 - Jeter23 - Greg Little, ROOKIE, WR10623.05 - Jeter23 - Julian Edelman, NE, WR116Really like this group. Definite strength and like what you did late. One more body might have been good in a start 3, maybe instead of your two late flyers at RB you could have snagged a WR.6.12 - jeter23 - Marcedes Lewis, JAX, TE1510.12 - jeter23 - Ben Watson, CLE, TE2520.12 - jeter23 - Ed Dickson, BAL, TE35Like this group as well and feel you should get a solid score here. Personally I thought you got a ton of value where you got them. For some reason Watson as TE25 seems like robbery. I don’t think any of us expect a repeat performance by Lewis, but even if you get ¾ of what he did it should be nice as TE15 and this group should keep its head above water easily. 12.12 - jeter23 - Arizona Cardinals, DST1613.05 - Jeter23 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DST2215.05 - Jeter23 - Adam Vinatieri, INDY, PK1116.12 - jeter23 - David Buehler, DAL, PK21Works. Overall: If Torain is the real deal, I like this team. But it seems like a couple of other decisions could have really put you in a better overall spot. Kolb getting traded bumps this whole team up, and getting consistent RB2 scores could be tough. With your top 2 WR’s on board, I guess I maybe would have liked to have seen a Moreno/Bradshaw or something added in the 4th round. But you’ll get a decent ranking cause I think Torain runs hard and I like his game and so does Shanny.Might have to shuffle these a little later….think what is making it tough is each team will have a weakness and its almost a matter of which weakness causes the least amount of damage. 1.

Although I find my current ranking a little unnerving and a big Kiss o' Death...Hey Ref...thanks for doing these. I'm reading every word...
I found it interesting that so many teams would go 2QB first (and I think rightfully so). I think WRs dry up faster, so WRs should be next IMHO with RBBC and TE being so deep. I'd be interested to hear from teams that have 3RBs after 8 Rounds as to why (value? more WRs available later?). In Bloom's case (I think he was one of the 3RB teams early) I think he did a great job grabbing WRs late.After 8 rounds....Interesting to note the team compositions at this point. Given the starters (1-2-3-1) at the skill spots, basically after 8 rounds you have most teams with a full compliment of a starting lineup and one "extra" spot, which might indicate where they think the thin depth of the talent pool is for this year.Scanning over things I find that the most common team breakdown is:2-2-3-1 (extra QB) - seven teamsNext is1-3-3-1 (extra RB) - three teams1-2-3-2 (1)1-3-2-2 (3,14)2-3-2-1 (2,10)2-2-3-1 (4,5,6,9,11,12,16)1-3-3-1 (7,8,15)1-3-4-0 (13)One team doesn't take a TE1 at all. Two others overstack RBs with 3 and wait for WR3, while two more do the same but overstack at QB. Three more just take the extra pick at RB, so 6 teams in all go 3 RBs in first eight picks.
check back in about 30 seconds......Although I find my current ranking a little unnerving and a big Kiss o' Death...Hey Ref...thanks for doing these. I'm reading every word...
Like what you did at QB. Once you have a stud in tow there are two routes to go. 1) Sluff QB2 and hope for bye week filler. Not a huge issue as 1 QB teams have won these leagues. 2) Go for a gimmick QB or someone with huge weekly variance that might be able to post a few scores over your QB1. I think Tebow fits the bill. I like him better than a Sanchez or Fitzpatrick pick (for this team) since Rodgers will dwarf those guys most every week. At RB Harrison followed by Jacobs are my favorite picks. Harrison could be a difference maker. Hillis was huge value based on other drafts and last years stats. Call me a racist, but I'm not sold on the skills and didn't like the drop off at the end of the year. The only bad pick I see is McClain. I like the guy, but don't see him ever outscoring the other guys on your roster.Absolutely crushed the WR position. If Owens pans out you have great production from your starters. The rest of the corps will be like a machine gun spraying bullets. Great approach if Owens doesn't work out.Big fan of Tamme late. The Graham train is rolling, but you still have a ton of mouths to feed in NO. Colsten disappears at times and it's not due to a lack of talent. I think you have to hit or miss guys that may leave you empty some weeks and crush it at the same time.K/D, you got two of each. You won't lose much ground to most of the field here.Overall I think you're set to make it to the halfway pole and have a better chance than most to make it to the final four. I don't see any major holes that will make you an easy out early and you definately have the studs to carry you to title contention.Have broken down my draft enough in here, but quick recap to try and find my spot. 1.11 - Aaron Rodgers, GB, QB26.06 - Tim Tebow, DEN, QB19I think Tebow starts and after Bass I think you have a pretty explosive group. You should have considered Flynn late. Oh wait you did, but just too late. 3.11 - Peyton Hillis, CLE, RB144.06- Jahvid Best, DET, RB169.11 - Danny Woodhead, NE, RB4210.06 - Brandon Jacobs, NYG, RB4418.06 - Jerome Harrison, PHI?, RB6720.06 - LeRon McClain, BAL, RB7924.06 - Derrick Ward, HOU, RB93Personally I think you killed it here. I heard Ubaldo Jimenez on the radio the other day talking about his diet and what he recommends when people go through a buffet line. He simply said "avoid the rice....but crush the beans". Well I think you crushed the beans here my man. Hillis and Best may be the two most undervalued backs in these things right now. Best as the 6th pick in the 4th round of a 16 teamer? He is way undervalued and my pick to be the guy that sees the biggest increase between now and drafts like these in Aug-Sept. (which doesn’t really make sense cause there really aren’t any) Woodhead/Jacobs in the 9-10 is pretty strong. Particularly like Woodhead to have some decent scoring weeks. Last 3 have some pop.2.06- Hakeem Nicks, NYG, WR57.11 - Terrell Owens, CIN?, WR398.06 - Jordy Nelson, GB, WR4411.11 - Jordan Shipley, CIN, WR6217.11 - Jason Avant, PHI, WR8119.11 - Brandon LaFell, CAR, WR10021.11 - Josh Cribbs, CLE, WR10922.06 - Damian Williams, TEN, WR11223.11 - Kevin Ogletree, DAL, WR121Might be enough here to get you three scores and keep you afloat, however I think this group suffered from you dominating the RB position. 5.11 - Jimmy Graham, NO, TE1015.11 - Jacob Tamme, IND, TE30This is kind of like the team that has Kolb as their backup QB and hopes that he gets traded. If Clark goes down again this pairing raises 10 slots in the TE only rankings. I know there is hype for Graham right now but how do 9 TE’s go before him? Being able to add him to your first 4 picks was like stealing fish from a baby in a barrel or something like that.14.06 - Matt Bryant, ATL, PK4 16.06 - Matt Prater, DEN, PK1912.06 - Detroit Lions, DST1213.11 - Washington Redskins, DST25Possibly about as close to "who really gives a ####" that you can get. Overall: Personally I really like what you did here and not sure I could have done it better myself. Not really sure where to rank you other than I know it will be above Football Critic. Nice job. 1.

it will probably serve you pretty well as I think it is a solid strategy especially with the 4 extra slots....when I heard these were moving toward 24 slots, it was the first thought that came to mind....probably dst more than pk....however I just could not get myself to pull the trigger when the time came....and quite honestly since that time I have thought should the situation present itself again (24 slots) that I would consider jumping on a dst very early....maybe as high as round 8 or something....then seeing if the herd follows.....if so, no big deal, the run just happens sooner....but if the herd does not follow, then a couple things can happen....one being it might be easier to get the 3rd when you need to....or you fall back to the 2 dst strategy and gobble up some value at other positions while the herd finishes the run.....now how does that weigh out as far as value goes and the position player that you pass up in round 8...I don't know....but really I think the 3 dst thing will almost start to become the "in" thing to do in these leagues with 24 slots....even creeping more into the 20 slot leagues as well....dst just don't get injured....I got caught trying to be cute in Gamma's league and got stuck with one.....valued Amendola over a dst and thought my second one would make it back to me.....no dice...the only part about what you said that makes it tough is that in these 16 team leagues it is pretty difficult to acquire top end talent all the time and your draft slot could have something to do with your ability to try the 3 dst strategy compared to top end talent....haven't really thought about the PK too much becuase I would think on the norm you are usually looking at about the same points except for one of those weeks were your guy goes off for 5 FG type games....I think somebody took a look at that and how your chances increase for an above average score...the keep away aspect of the 3 dst or even 4 for that matter might be a big part of the benefit as obviously not only are you increasing your chances of a good score but you are decreasing the chances for others which comes into play big time when you talk about "surviving".....Curious to see how bad 3 Ds and 3 Ks will hurt me in the Ref rankings. Ref seems to be valuing depth and has suggested that some teams with 6 RBs or 8 WRs rostered should have considered adding another. I come from the school that if you have top end talent and decent backups it's best to use the ammo where you think you can impact your weekly score.

got a feeling MJD may turn into one of those doesn't pratcice all week but plays on Sunday guys...my Torain love is just that he looks like the real deal (when he is playing)....Shanny saw something in that kid a long time ago when he was in DEN....my Michael Bush comments are basically under the assumption that he is playing elsewhere next year and has more of a primary role....I see there being a need for his services around the league and I think he would like to be "the man"...although I think OAK would be crazy to let him walk...You make me feel better about my QB, appreciate that. I feel just fine about my RB - even if Ingram's knee is an issue, it's a long-term thing, not this year. I hear you on Spiller being a bit overrated, that was a bit of a shoulder shrug pick, strictly looking at best case scenario. I'm just not a Torain believer (and multiple missed games are inevitable) - MBush I see almost exactly the same as Tolbert, but in lesser offense and would have required earlier pick. Would have definitely targeted Jennings if I hadnt gotten Ingram, Spiller, and Tolbert. Still, even with MJD playing through the knee last year, wasn't an issue that caused him to miss games until late in the season. I feel like I can tolerate the risk of Colston/Harvin because of my depth, hope it ends up being as good/deep a group as you see it - Moore could also contribute if he is reclassified. Thanks for putting in the time to review these.

Next up.…Bass…
I like these teams in the top half:
Bloom - Risky at QB until Mcnabb signs. Decent depth everywhere else.
BassnBrew - Nice team but, if M Bush is a backup and R Bush doesn't put up a little more than he has, the RB core can fall apart quickly.
Pasquino - I like the Manning / Stafford combo of a safe QB and an explosive QB. RB is troubling, I get the minimal RB theory but, you need IMO 4 decent RB's to pull it off. Here I see 1 sure starter and a lot of hope that Ryan Williams is drafted right.
Football Critic - Also a little weak IMO at RB - 3 decent RB's and then I'm not so sure.
Reaper - Meh at QB. Rock solid at RB and weak yet deep at WR. Top TE.
Norseman - Weak at RB. Solid everywhere else.
Stinkinref - Needs some breaks like Owens being a top 20 WR.
Rzrback - Another team a little light at RB. If a rookie RB pops and / or LT keeps it up this team is solid...
I agree....I also have to say that sometimes what can happen too is that we look at the whole body of work and pass judgement on a team while not really factoring in a very important factor....the survivor format...that is why I need to go back a put on my survivor glasses for a final look.....I didn't always do that in the reviews and/or rankings.....a lot of what I did was who I thought put together the best team, but not neccessarily the team that has the best chance of surviving....Mine wasn't in order.. But, I'm reading through your's and Blooms reviews and trying to come up with one... It's tough - the uncertainty is killing. Norseman seems to be a concensus top team especially if Blount turns into a top back.IMO that's the real fun and meat of these reviews moving forward - Spotlighting the players who have mixed reviews or question marks but are potential difference makers... TO me:BlountHillisRyan Mathewsj StewartDeangelo WilliamsSidney RiceP HarvinRyan Grant / James StarksOcho / Owens / R MossEtc etc.
Very fair assessment. Once I selected Vick I went swinging for the fences in an effort to repeat. If a couple of things break right this team is a lock for the final three. Very hard team to grade with all the risk.1.09 - BassnBrew - Michael Vick, PHI, QB15.09 - BassnBrew - Jay Cutler, CHI, QB16Top duo in the league. Not much else to say. If Andy would have taken Cutler I am interested to know what you would have done. Part of me thinks you may have still gone QB2 sensing the impending drop off and that there were probably a couple guys who were going to get QB2 before it got back to you. I’m guessing Stafford. Nice job here.4.08- BassNBrew - DeAngelo Williams, CAR, RB178.08 - BassNBrew - Reggie Bush, NO, RB349.09 - BassnBrew - Michael Bush, OAK, RB4115.09 - BassNBrew - Mike Goodson, CAR, RB5820.08 - BassNBrew - Leon Washington, SEA, RB8024.08 - BassNBrew - Mike Bell, CLE, RB95You’ve declared your belief that Dwilly is a steal where you got him and he may very well be. Who knows what happens there though. If things stay the same, it doesn’t seem like as much of a steal. If he goes to NE or something we may be playing for second place. I see 3 pretty solid backs in CAR and you would think there really shouldn’t be room for all 3. Since they can’t really trade guys right now who knows what will happen. Dwilly may stay and Stew may be gone. Maybe they draft Newton and Rivera thinks, hey you know what, whether it’s Clausen or Newton, I better lean on the running game so I keep em all. Think Bush has to get those 70+ receptions to justify RB2 status but it looks like he will be back on NO. I like M. Bush game and think he is a steal in the 9th if he signs elsewhere and will drastically out produce RB41. He becomes top 15 or so in my mind if he becomes the main guy, dude is a load to tackle. I really like Goodson’s game and the way he runs, he was on my radar. Leon burned me a bunch last year and for some reason we all think he should get more touches out of the backfield, but the people getting paid the big bucks don’t. Some question marks in this group and may need some things to change/fall right. 3.09 - BassnBrew - Brandon Marshall, MIA, WR146.08 - BassNBrew - Austin Collie, IND, WR31 7.09 - BassnBrew - Santana Moss, WASH, WR3810.08 - BassNBrew - Jerome Simpson, CIN, WR5317.09 - BassnBrew - Roy Williams, DAL, WR8018.08 - BassNBrew - Plaxico Burress, JAIL, WR9019.09 - BassnBrew - David Gettis, CAR, WR9923.09 - BassnBrew - Armanti Edwards, CAR, WR119Marshall is a good get at 3.09. He should be fine. Three concussions in one year and the NFL treating them the way they do makes the Collie pick tough. Get that many it just seems like it is easier and just a matter of time in this sport before you get another, and nowadays that could mean more than just missing the rest of that game. The third WR in Indy often has more value than many teams WR2’s but there are some mouths to feed as well and White has shown he can play. Hopefully Simpson isn’t this years Aromashodu, but it looks like he could be the #1 guy and a good pick in the 10th and WR 53. I expect ROY to leave DAL as he took some jabs at Garrett when he was the OC, but he should land elsewhere. Finishing up with a couple of CAR guys might pay off but then again who knows how much they chuck it. There might be weeks where this group struggles to post a number especially when Marshall is on Revis Island and if Collie is hurt but Moss and Simpson should have you covered.2.08- BassNBrew - Jermichael Finley, GB, TE222.08 - BassNBrew - Bo Scaife, TEN?, TE43Might have been nice to have another body here and this might be where your 3 dst/pk thing hurts a little. Could be a great move just riding these two. 11.09 - BassnBrew - New York Giants, DST512.08 - BassNBrew - Oakland Raiders, DST1313.09 - BassnBrew - Miami Dolphins, DST2314.08 - BassNBrew - Garrett Hartley, NO, PK516.08 - BassNBrew - Ryan Succop, KC, PK2021.09 - BassnBrew - Shayne Graham, NE?, PK29Already talked a little about how this may be the way to go in these things and it may take a while for other owners to follow suit, but with the extra picks it is close to being a no brainer. I guess where it may “cost” you is at TE2, maybe RB, or a QB flyer just in case. Having a QB like Vick who can put up monster weeks and cover some weaknesses at RB/WR/TE allows a strategy like this to be implemented and allow you another area to try and pull away from the pack. We’ll see how it works but I am starting the DST run in SSL in about round 6 if that goes to 24. Overall: Top QB group, some serious questions at RB, pretty solid group of WR’s, Jesus at TE, and a top DST/PK group. Vick is almost like having half a RB and covers many weaknesses, but I have a feeling thinking all the RB depth would fall may cost you as I’m not a big Reggie fan and you need your gambles to pay off with M. Bush and Goodson. No Dwilly trade could be brutal.Still under review and not final….but close….1. Norseman2. Stinkin Ref3. Jeff Pasquino4. Sigmund Bloom5. BassnBrew6. Razrback777. Jeter238.

6th round = valueIngram to the Saints hurts my Ivory pick even more. Doh!
and your 8th rounder's as well.....well there goes Beanies value!
9.16 - Jeff Pasquino - Ryan Williams, ROOKIE AZ, RB43
hes a FA, didnt know that, so who knows. BJGE/Woodhead/Vreen/Ridley = who knows tooand your 8th rounder's as well.....well there goes Beanies value!
Jacobs!...:slamsaceofspadesontable:..little bit of damage maybe to Woodhead (my RB3)...but not to both my RB2 and RB3 handcuff....and two of my top 8 picks...although the Leshoure to DET is a little concerning....hes a FA, didnt know that, so who knows. BJGE/Woodhead/Vreen/Ridley = who knows tooand your 8th rounder's as well.....well there goes Beanies value!
that got my fantasy attention as much as it can for a kicker...isn't Akers considered a top 5 guy before that...?and doesn't that kid punt too....?'Football Critic said:Oh, and.....
How bout that Eagles kicker pick?
Why did they Eagles draft Henery in the 4th? The Eagles pulled a Jeff P and drafted a K way toooooo early.
Akers is on his last leg I guess.
Eagles may be either selecting their punter for the year, growing tired of Akers or planning for him to leave - or any combo of the above.Kid seemed to be very automatic ("robo-kicker") in college. We'll have to see.'Football Critic said:Oh, and.....How bout that Eagles kicker pick? Why did they Eagles draft Henery in the 4th?

Rookie bye week check.Ryan Williams - AZ - Week 6.Delone Carter in Indy. Great pairing with Addai. Week 11. DJ Williams in GB. Not a great place with Finley, but could have huge upside if Finley is hurt.Only damage is really to TE3, and I think I covered Indy RB pretty well now. I'll take it.Bye weeksQB - Eli Manning (7), Matthew Stafford (9), Rex Grossman (5 if WASH)RB - Frank Gore (7), Joseph Addai (11 if Indy), Ryan Williams (AZ - 6), John Kuhn (8), Delone Carter (Indy - 11)WR - Greg Jennings (8), Steve Johnson (7), Braylon Edwards (8 if NYJ), Randy Moss (?), Ben Obomanu (6) , Josh Morgan (7), Anthony Gonzalez (11), Early Doucet (6)TE - Zach Miller (OAK) (8) , Anthony Fasano (5), DJ Williams (?)PK - David Akers (7), Ryan Longwell (9)D/ST - Dallas (5), San Diego (6), Houston (11)OK at QBRB seems okWR - could be rough in Weeks 7 and 8TE/PK/DST look ok
Total best ball points over the season or most weeks with top score at QB? Either way I've got you covered. I'd side wager but no one ever pays me in a timely manner when they ultimately lose to me.Now Vick and Cutler or Brees and Locker/Young?
