PDSL1 - Post Draft Discussion Thread (1 Viewer)

bicycle_seat_sniffer

Smells like chicken
Well let's start with my team:

PDSL1 - 12th pick

QB- Palmer(5), Garcia(10), Simms(10)

Got an absolute steal in Palmer in the 4th round. I normally dont take QB's early at all, but he was too good to pass up. The platoon of the Tampa QB's should net me some points on Palmer bye and a down week here and there.

Grade : A

RB- Portis(4), Jacobs(9),Perry(5),Moats(5)

Now when my pick in the first round came up I almost went Travis Henry. Decided to take Portis. The Henry pick IMO looks to good to be true. Plus he is one joint away from a year off. And Im not as worried about Betts as most. After going RB/WR in 1/2 grabbed Jacobs in round3 at RB24 looks like a bargin to me, cause I'll bet you he finishes higher than RB24. Chris Perry if heathly can throw up some ppr game specials and Moats might get moved Depth is not great, but really no one's will be. I wanted to grab at least one of Droughns/Betts but Betts got taken way too early and I missed Ruben by a couple picks.

grade: B-

WR- LarryFitz(8), Berrian(9), Kennison(8), Keyshawn(7), Lelie(6), Roscoe P. (6),TabPerry(5)

I wanted to grab a stud WR in round2 cause I knew WR's of that calibre would not be available in round3. I wanted Lfitz or ChadJ. End up with Larry. My next 4 Berrian-Kennison-Key-Lelie are going to produce just fine for 2 spots most weeks. I really like Berrian to be the #1 in Chicago and Eddie and Key just keep producing at great value in these drafts. I like Lelie's upside and big games. Roscoe had 40 targets last year and returns punts. Tab Perry should grab the #3 job in CIncy while Henry is on suspension.

Overall I feel I have good depth at this spot.

Grade: A-

TE- V.Davis(6), Troupe (4)

Some risk here no doubt, but VDavis will be going in round 3 of these next year. :( . Troupe is a nice young player with good upside too. I should get no worse than top 8 scoring here, if Vernon stays healthy.

Grade: B

K- Tynes(8), Feeley (9)

D- Carolina(7),San Fran (6)

Got decent K's and one nice D with a young and up & coming. Nothing too great, but I dont think I'll be hurting here either

Grade: :shrugs: B

Overall:

Im going to survive awhile, to win the thing though Im going to have to have hit on Jacobs and Vernon Davis, which I do no think is that big of a stretch. Would love to get some others input on this squad. And throw your team in here and I'll tell you what I think

Well, things were going pretty well, two solid QBs and two solid WRs to start - and then the schedule came out. Eli and Plax were guaranteed off in Week 9, but I decided that there would be only 2 more teams on that week (Miami was off with them + 2 mystery teams) so a 14-1 shot at not sharing a bye (and not being forced to take Jets, which I didn't want to do) was worth it.

The Bye Week Theory (which held true) dawned on me at some point in this draft, so I don't even know that I had it to go on in PDSL anyway.

Regardless, the last 6-7 rounds of picks were dictated by this potential problem.

Immunity in Week 8 would be sweet beyond belief.

06.09 QB Eli Manning NYG/9

08.09 QB Rex Grossman Chi/9

13.08 QB David Carr Car/7

I like the QBs - big upside games, some down games, but hopefully overall they average out to a solid Survivor Tandem. Carr might have been early - but there were some non-standard draft strategies in play here (and Ruds had the same problem I had) so I wanted to get out in front of the problem. Yes, 40-50 QBs start in any given season, but I think Carr is one of the few who could go out and win the job or replace Delhomme by mid-season. Risky? Sure - but I thought getting that potential was worth it when only 8 teams would be left.

01.08 RB Willie Parker Pit/6

04.09 RB Marion Barber III Dal/8

09.08 RB Anthony Thomas Buf/6

19.08 RB Sammy Morris Mia/9

I make it no secret that I think MB3 is a Top 10-15 RB this year. Julius Jones just doesn't "do it" for me and the new coaching staff has already hinted at MB3 passing JJones on the official depth chart. Even if he doesn't, his production last year was Top 20, so getting him at RB2 was $$.

FWP vs Addai was a tough call at 1.08, but I went with the back with the least likely threat to lose touches (Addai may have a co-host again in the backfield). I'm not sold on Addai.

02.09 WR Reggie Wayne Ind/6

03.08 WR Plaxico Burress NYG/9

07.08 WR Muhsin Muhammad Chi/9

10.09 WR Chris Henry Cin/5

18.09 WR Cedrick Wilson Pit/6

12.09 WR Terrance Copper NO/4

11.08 WR Demetrius Williams Bal/8

20.09 WR Travis Wilson Cle/7

Went best available WR at 2 and 3 - that's a key in these drafts IMHO. Wayne's solid. Plax is good, not great - really wanted Lee Evans there, but missed by 1 pick. The plan was WR3BC, but "Moose" was too good to pass up in Round 7. Problem (later) when I got QB2? Not really when I planned to have 8 WRs.

Chris Henry - really REALLY expected 4 weeks, not 8. I think he could appeal and get it reduced (I'd REALLY take 6 or 7 - 8 means 9, and that hurts BAD). Still, this cloud over him made him last until Round 10, and he wouldn't have otherwise.

Demetrius Williams - WR3 in Baltimore with big play / TD potential - excellent for Survivor, a nightmare in weekly "set your lineup" leagues.

Copper - Could be the #2 in NO, which would be huge. Regardless, there is room for 3 WRs with Drew Brees and he'll have a few good games even if not a starter.

Cedrick Wilson - Pittsburgh had 4 WRs with 500+ yards (only team to do that) but Wilson didn't find the end zone. Should he in the more "wide open" Tomlin offense he's a steal that late.

Travis Wilson - relatively unknown / forgotten, but the WR3 in Cleveland could be rather productive. Good size and speed and not used much due to injury in 06 (drafted late when WRs all fell last year). I like his potential, and if an older WR like Joe Jurevicius loses his job or goes down, or if Braylon Edwards gets hurt again, he's the most likely candidate to start for a team that will have to throw a lot. Also, with KW2 questionable, that means more targets to WRs.

Now, assuming I have all 3 of those guys off in Wk 9 (and I'm alive) - I'm reduced to Reggie Wayne plus two of : Terrance Copper, Demetrius Williams, Cedrick Wilson and Travis Wilson. I think I could get 2 decent performances here. We'll see.

05.08 TE Alge Crumpler Atl/8

16.09 TE Visanthe Shiancoe NYG/9

I really like this pair. Alge is $$ and the #1 target for Vick, hands down. Shiancoe got paid starter money from a team (MIN) that has ?s at WR, so the TE will get some work. TEs usually do in MIN, so I like his chances to post 4-6 catch games and a few TDs.

15.08 PK Jason Elam Den/6

Gamble with 1 K? Maybe, but his bye is Week 6 (when 5 other teams are off) and he hasn't missed a game in 6+ Years (and only 4 games missed in his 14 year career). I like those odds (don't mention the 14-1 thing again...). K2s weren't going to contribute much to my team - and I needed QB and WR help due to bye week fiascos. Elam has been Top 10 for the last 6 years, and I expect the same. I'll take a zero in Week 6 in trade for WR8.

14.09 DEF Jacksonville Jac/4

17.08 DEF Oakland Oak/5

Two solid defenses in Jacksonville with a nice schedule and the Raiders are underappreciated. I like having KR/PR potential for TDs on both, but I think I only got one in Oakland. We'll see.

The bye weeks for the D's look nice too - Jax (4) and Oak (5) - Jacksonville has KC in Week 5 and Oakland plays Miami in Week 4. Not bad. I also like both teams in Week 9 where I need help (Jax vs NO, Oak vs Hou).

Good draft everyone - interesting strategies. I'll be interested to see the strategy wrap-up.

I'll try to comment when / where I can.

Too much risk at qb and rb for my taste. The qb run hurt me pretty bad. If westbrook stays healthy one of these other guys should put up decent rb2 numbers at any given week. WR, TE, PK, and DST are solid. I have no TEs, PKs, or DSTs on bye after week 6 (excluding week 9 -Pasquinos bye week from hell) so that should help, if I last that long. Will come down to Westbrook staying healthy and the rookies getting some playing time.

 
QB: Vick (8), Favre (7), Harrington (8)

RB: Alexander (8), Turner (7 for now, 4 if traded to Titans), Jones (8), Buckhalter (5), Davenport (6)

WR: Harrison (6), Evans (6), Marshall (6), Caldwell (10), D. Carter (7), Lloyd (4), T. Taylor (?)

TE: Daniels (10), Wiggins (4)

K: K Brown (10), Dawson (7)

DEF: Giants (9)

I thought I was ok in drafting this team until the schedule came out, revealing a nightmare in week 6 at WR and in week 8 at RB. At the point the schedule came out, I had no starting RB in week 8 and no starting WR in week 6. So, I had to change my overall plan. That said . . .

QB: Vick, Favre, Harrington

I feel pretty good about my QBs. Vick is a guy I would hate to own in a H2H, but he has enough big weeks to really make his risk/reward worth it, as long as I have a more reliable #2 QB. I think I have that in Favre, who was a good value in round 7. I think I made the right move by grabbing Harrington in the last round for injury insurance on Vick, rather than drafting a useless WR. I give my QBs a B+/A-.

RB: Alexander, Turner, Jones, Buckhalter, Davenport

Oh Lordy. Alexander bounces back this year to a top 8 RB, with a PPG average not far behind the top 5. So much here depends on Turner. A recent reports now have him staying in SD, but that's what PDSL is all about. We'll see what happens on or before draft day. IMO, Marion Barber is not a lock to displace Jones as the primary ball carrier. Jones is underrated. Does anyone really think Westbrook will stay healthy 2 years in a row? I think Davenport will see more carries than last year. In all, I like this group if Turner is traded. If not, I think Jones sees enough action to carry my team through the half-season mark. Grade: C+ to B+, depending on the Turner situation.

WR: Harrison, Evans, Marshall, Caldwell, D. Carter, Lloyd, T. Taylor

The week 6 bye for my top 3 is dream killer. If somehow, I make it past week 6, I like this group. I have a top 5, probably a top 10 in Evans. I think that Marshall and Caldwell platoon as a solid #3. D. Carter has the big game potential to post at least 3 great games. Lloyd may not be worth much, but has the talent. Taylor is a wild card. If only a team like KC would pick him up, he could be worth a few decent games. Grade if not for week 6: B+/A-. Grade based on reality: B-.

TE: Daniels, Wiggins

I think I have a good platoon. Now that Daniels has a better QB and no good #2 WR to compete with, hopefully he benefits. He showed good potential last year. Wiggins being reunited with Tice is good, although there are too many TEs in Jax for my comfort. I don't think my TE s help me a great deal, but I don't think they hurt me much either. Grade: B

K: Brown, Dawson

I see Hou getting the ball down the field a lot more this year with a new QB and A. Green, but not scoring a ton of TDs, so I like Brown. Dawson was 1 of only 2 sure fire starting kickers with a good bye week for me. Grade: ?

D: Giants

Would have liked to draft another D, but none left. Had to forego drafting a 2nd D to address the bye week situation at RB and WR. At least not drafting another D enabled me to draft Harrington to back up Vick.

Overall, if Turner is traded, I think this team can go far, if I also survive week 6. I don't think this team is a contender for the title right now, but we'll see how things shape up for other teams who stand in my way. There are always unexpected developments.

This has been a lot of fun!

Serves you right for taking Evans over Plax. :lmao:I'll trade ya.
 
Kitna

Delhomme
Two QBs that should finish top 20 that don't get injured. Carr is not a threat to Delhomme's playing time in year one.Grade: B+

Maroney

K. Jones

Droughns

Chrissy

Duckett

M. Robinson
Drafting at the end of round 1 will do this to your RBs, but I also made a few mistakes here by waiting on players I thought I could get later, but ended up going sooner than expected.1) Rzr stole Lynch from me...I thought for sure I could get him at 5.15. Lynch was a key part of my strategy.

2) I was targeting K. Jones at the 5/6 turn as I believe he'll be a solid contributor for 2/3 of the season.

3) Pissed that I missed out on K. Faulk.

There were other guys I was targeting, but because of the SSLs coming up I'll leave it at that. Overall I'm very happy with this group given where I drafted them. I believe every RB I've drafted will contribute besides maybe Duckett as his role is up in the air at this point.

Grade: B

Ward

Jackson

Reggie Williams

Williamson

Baskett

Mi Clayton
I would like to see one more starter in this group as I'm usually able to land 5 or 6, but this group did a good job of drafting all the starters very early so I think you'll see most teams limited to 4/5 starters. Whether or not others like this group will depend on their faith in Reggie Williams and Williamson...personally I think both are undervalued this year. Grade: B

Gates

Baker
Gates is the best and Baker should bring consistency if Gates goes down. A normal year from Gates should bolster my RB/WR scoring. I obviously believe he's in a class by himself this year.Grade: A+

Vinatieri

Kasay

Seattle
Grade: BOverall: B

I'm not overly excited about this team, but drafting Gates was definitely the right move IMHO. I would have handled rounds 4-10 quite differently given where particular players I was targeting landed. I see three key players on this team, Williamson, Maroney and K. Jones. If they perform early and often I like this team a lot, if they don't it's an average team.

QB

Matt Hasselbeck

Phillip Rivers

Two solid QBs. I stayed ahead of the run, got good value on Hasselbeck, and a pretty strong backup in Rivers. I'm happy with this.

RB

Travis Henry

Willis McGahee

Deshaun Foster

Not a ton of depth, but I like my top two a lot. This is about the best I could have hoped for at RB from my late draft spot. I thought Foster was a steal where I got him (8.4) but I'm not terribly high on him, either. Still, a decent RB3.

WR

Laveranus Coles

Mark Clayton

Eric Parker

Peerless Price

Jabar Gaffney

Dennis Northcutt

Bobby Engram

Jeff Webb

Kelley Washington

Quantity over quality. I didn't think a stud WR would be better than Henry or McGahee, but that left me with weak WRs in Coles and Clayton, who I do like a lot this year. I could have gone after a WR3 earlier, but I wouldn't have passed on a QB1, QB2, or RB3 to do it. The controversial move was taking two defenses (in the 9th and 10th) before I took a third WR, but the receivers I passed on - Welker, Caldwell, Toomer and Chris Henry - are all kind of shots in the dark. So I decided to load up on 9 WRs, and make myself as strong as possible at the other positions. Between these nine guys, I'm still weak at the position, but I should be able to cobble together at least one or two decent scores at WR each weak and this made me much stronger at other positions.

TE

LJ Smith

Marcus Pollard

I like LJ a lot this year. He was good with McNabb, but not as good with Garcia. McNabb's back. I also like Pollard, who slipped because he put up terrible numbers in the Martz offense. Like every TE in the history of the Martz offense. Now he joins a team that loves to throw to the TE. As a plus note, if Hasselbeck is having a bad day at QB for me, he'll probably have to dump off to the TE.

K

Jeff Wilkins

Jason Hanson

Part of the goal of taking two defenses early was that it allowed me to make sure I got two starting kickers when the inevitable kicker/D run started. I got one kicker I love in Wilkins, and another I like a lot in Hanson in year two of the Martz offense. I think this is pretty strong, all things considered.

D

New England

Baltimore

I believe I have a very good chance at having one of the top three defenses in the league. I might have two of them. I certainly paid for the priviledge, but defensive scoring counts just as much as offensive scoring, and these are two defenses I think will do very well this year. I also like that this evens out the scoring at the defensive position - unless both of them put up a stinker the same week, I should have good, even scoring from a position where other teams are really weak.

Overall, this is not my favorite team I've drafted, but I think I did as much as I could from my draft position and with the players that fell to me. But I also know I made some controversial decisions, so I'll open this up to you:

Setting aside your preferences for specific players (I like Clayton more than other people do, for example), how would you have drafted differently at any of my picks? How would your draft have turned out from the 13 pick?

Well let's start with my team:

PDSL1 - 12th pick

QB- Palmer(5), Garcia(10), Simms(10)

You stole Palmer from me one pick before I would have nabbed him. A great pick. Not a huge fan of Garcia/Simms, but Palmer will carry you most weeks anyhow.

Grade : A

RB- Portis(4), Jacobs(9),Perry(5),Moats(5)

I'm not high on Portis, which is why I passed on him at 11 in favor of Steve Smith. In my view, there is a substantial dropoff after RB10 (who went 1-10 in this draft), and then there are a mess of guys with question marks (Portis, Edge, McGahee, Brown). Jacobs is looking good with only Droughns as competition, so he ought to do as a #2. Perry and Moats are not likely to set the world on fire but give you some depth. A decent, but unspectacular group here.

grade: C+

WR- LarryFitz(8), Berrian(9), Kennison(8), Keyshawn(7), Lelie(6), Roscoe P. (6),TabPerry(5)

Like this group a lot. Fitz is an uber-stud, and Berrian should provide several nice explosive weeks. Might be nice to have a slightly more consistent guy as your #2, but you've got Key and Lelie (another guy you stole from me) to help platoon there. Parrish is another boom/bust guy who has more value in a survivor where he can pop out of the woodwork with the occasional long TD. Good job here.

Grade: A-[

TE- V.Davis(6), Troupe (4)

We followed similar strategies at TE by grabbing guys with nice upside as TE1. I'm a big fan of Davis, but there is certainly some risk here.

Grade: C+

K- Tynes(8), Feeley (9)

D- Carolina(7),San Fran (6)

A solid group. No one jumps out, but you have two of each, and all are decent.

Grade: B

Overall:



Your team resembles mine quite a bit, which is not too shocking given our draft positions. I think we had two of the toughest draft positions and came out fine. TE appears to be the only potential area of concern. I think you stick around quite a while, and if Portis and Davis have nice years, this team will contend.
 
Team rzrback77 is a little unusual:

PDSL1 - 14th pick

QB- Roethlisberger(6) and Losman(6)

Got remarkable value on Big Ben as QB 16 at the tail end of round 7. Was hoping to team Cutler with him, but just missed out. Thought a lot about Alex Smith or Grossman, but went with Losman and was another vitim of the bye week blues. Decided that taking a third QB who might not see the field was more risk than value.

Grade : B- dropped slightly just because of no QB guaranteed in week 6.

RB- Edge James(8), Benson(9),M. Lynch (?), and Chi A Peterson (9)

14th slot was uncomfortable for me in the first round. Decided to go with two RBs here and chase receivers for a while. I just didn't know how long the chase would be. Hopeful that Benson can handle the load and put up huge numbers as the man in Chicago for the first time. Showed my lack of confidence with my selection of Peterson late. All in all, I think I have a nice RB stable and it will be very good for a league of this size, if Marshawn Lynch goes somewhere that he can have a significant role.

grade: B+

WR- San Moss(4), Chambers(9), Bry Johnson(8), D Bennett(9), A Bryant(?), Givens (4), Sin Moss(9), Stovall(10), and Andre Davis(10)

Got a late start on WRs due to the back to back RBs in the first two rounds. You really fight an uphill battle doiing that. I like Santana, but WR 18 as your #1 starts you in the hole. I was happy that Chambers was there for my second. If Miami can bring in even a decent QB, I think 07 will show a big rebound. After that I was constantly searching for help. I like to take a large number of WRs in this format due to the roller coaster type scoring they put up. As an example, Chad Johnson, T Holt, A Johnson, and Boldin all had five games last year in single digit scoring. You need depth and hope to brother-in-law the scores. It helps to have a stud, but its not necessary. I decreased my depth across the board to get this many.

Grade: B

TE- Witten(8) and Heiden (7)

I think that Witten and Romo had good chemistry and I think that continues in 07. Would like to see him score a few more TDs. Heiden has 43 and 36 catches in the past two years, even while Winslow had 89 last season. He could surprise early if Winslow is slow to return.

Grade: B

K- Nugent(10) Only on ekicker AND a week ten bye is not ideal.

D- Green Bay(7) and Arizona(8)

Two nice defenses and a decent kicker. Would prefer not to have a zero in week 10, but needed the extra WR.

Grade: B-

Overall:

Unusual team composition and like everyone else would enjoy critiques from all the experts, whether in this league or not.

Very much enjoyed the excellent participation by our group and look forward to further discussion.

Great decision to go 8 deep and I like most of your late round WR picks, but I think you could use a kicker a lot more than A. Davis. This isn't your strong suit but you did a good job of drafting depth IMHO. I'm not a huge fan of Chambers this year.

Grade = B

TE- Witten(8) and Heiden (7)
Not bad.

Grade = B

QB: Vince Young (4), Steve McNair (8)

An up and coming stud in Young and a steady vet that should do much better in his second season with the Ravens. Some risk because of the fact that they both use their legs and McNair always seems to be dinged up even though he generally plays through it.

RB: Reggie Bush (4), Cadillac Williams (10), Mike Bell (6), Corey Dillon (?)

Bush will be a reception monster and should only improve on last year's numbers as Deuce continues to have a slightly reduced role. Expecting Caddy to get it into gear and I like his chances much better if Garcia gets the nod and can inject a bit of stability into the offense. Hoping the Bucs focus on really upgrading the beef up front to create some space for Williams. Bell should get plenty of touches and Travis Henry has a history of getting nicked up. The wild card here is the Broncos drafting yet another rookie RB that could take some touches away from him, but I believe the team likes Bell's work ethic. Dillon is winding down his career and looking to land somewhere that will allow him to maximize his skill set. He doesn't catch a lot of balls but could get signifcant work on the right team.

WR: Torry Holt (9), Randy Moss (5), Matt Jones (4), Jerry Porter (5), Rod Smith (6), Eric Moulds (?)

Receivers went early and often in this draft. I got my six relatively early and never felt that there was anyone later that could significantly impact this squad even though I generally prefer to have at least 7 WRs in this format. I'm hoping that Moss gets traded to Green Bay to not only free up Porter to number one status but also because of the non-conflicting bye week (7). I'm not completely sold on Matt Jones but he is a good option for this format because he has the ability to blow up on a handful of weeks despite his inconsistency. Porter will hopefully be properly used in Kiffin's new offense. Decided to inject a couple of really old, possession vets that can bring me a few receptions from week to week. I'm hoping to get lucky with Moulds falling into a somewhat favorable WR2 role with some team as well as a unique bye week. Hopefully, Rod Smith's hip will be healthy enough for him to see significant action. I think this group as a whole is pretty strong with upside if Moss gets into a new situation that hopefully keeps him motivated.

TE: Jeremy Shockey (9), Bubba Franks (7), Zach Miller (?)

A top two TE in this scoring system is huge. Waited forever to get a 2nd TE and then decided that I wanted a 3rd in case of a Shockey injury. Hopefully, Franks and/or Miller can provide something in week 9. Also, Shockey's late bye week gives the rookie a little time to get settled in before having to contribute for my squad.

K: Olindo Mare (4), Sebastian Janikowski (5)

DEF: Indianapolis Colts (6), Atlanta Falcons (8), Cleveland Browns (7)

I was happy that I got a bit lucky and was able line my Ks and DEFs out so that there was no bye week conflict amongst any of them. I didn't go into the draft planning on taking 3 defenses but the third seemed like it might provide more for my team than a WR 7 at the time that I took them. Olindo's now playing for a pretty potent offense in a dome. He also provides a slight bit of hedging for Bush. Above average when factoring in quantity here.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with this team even though there's a lot of risk with some of the younger guys. I definitely got lucky with how my bye weeks fell. Most signifcant bye week concern is week 4 with both my QB 1, RB 1, WR 3, and K 1 all off. But, I'd rather try to survive through that earlier on than later. Good luck to all the other teams.

Maroney, while may be a RB1 in non-ppr, here I think his value will suffer. Plus sometimes NE just totally abandones the run. Kowalski is telling me that KJ should be ready, and he has been saying this all along. Plus detroit tried to move Tatum Bell as soon as they got him. Steal here but some risk. You grabbed Droughns from me and I wanted a BJ handcuff - what is your opinion on the NYG back situation?? Mine is that unless Jacobs is hurt, it's his job. Duckett is horrible, but he's a Detroiter and a decent handcuff if Bell does get moved. :mellow:

Overall I dont like this group, but you have enough guys that will get some carries behind maroney that you should do fine.

I usually love Djax and he is a ppg monster problem is he misses games and seems to have a knee condition. Ward is undervalued this year, I expect Pitt to throw more thisseason. Reggie & Williamson have nice upside. Im not a Baskett fan or MiClayton for that matter.Grade: B

Gates

Baker
Gates is the best and Baker should bring consistency if Gates goes down. A normal year from Gates should bolster my RB/WR scoring. I obviously believe he's in a class by himself this year.I love Gates and if this was 18 rounds, Im sure you would have just passed on a B/U, did baker re-sign in NYJ? i thought he was a UFA.

Grade: A+

Vinatieri

Kasay

Seattle
Grade: BOverall: B

I'm not overly excited about this team, but drafting Gates was definitely the right move IMHO. I would have handled rounds 4-10 quite differently given where particular players I was targeting landed. I see three key players on this team, Williamson, Maroney and K. Jones. If they perform early and often I like this team a lot, if they don't it's an average team.

This is not a typical Hucks team at all, but Gates can make up for some shortcomings on your squad and you appeared to dodge the bye week blues as well. not your best effort and i think a bad game by Rivers/gates can bounce you especially if KJones is not healthy

Do mine

Duckett

M. Robinson
Maroney, while may be a RB1 in non-ppr, here I think his value will suffer. Plus sometimes NE just totally abandones the run. Kowalski is telling me that KJ should be ready, and he has been saying this all along. Plus detroit tried to move Tatum Bell as soon as they got him. Steal here but some risk. You grabbed Droughns from me and I wanted a BJ handcuff - what is your opinion on the BYG back situation?? Mine is that unless Jacobs is hurt, it's his job. Duckett is horrible, but he's a Detroiter and a decent handcuff if Bell does get moved.[ :wub:
A) Who would you have picked instead of Maroney? Remember I'm picking at the end of round 1...a distinct disadvantage. B) I agree that KJ was a steal...running on a tread mill already with that injury is a very good sign and the coaching staff really likes the kid...I also agree that putting Tatum Bell up for a trade speaks volumes. I didn't talk up KJ in my analysis because I'm conservative when rating my own team usually.

C) I love the Droughns pick...the type of back that will get me 7 every game...he was seriously hampered by a horrible Cleveland offense and I think Jacobs' '06 highlight reel is making everybody forget that Droughns is back 1B in that offense.

D) Duckett isn't great but he will get carries when KJ is out...that's the only reason why I drafted him in the 19th...I liked several RBs more than him but the handcuff was too valuable.

Agree for the most part...kind of a lackluster group that D-Jax may make or break...everybody is going to look thin at WR though.

If K. Jones isn't healthy by the time bye weeks start kicking in my team may very well have some issues, but I really like my depth to be able to hold down the fort until he's one hundred percent.

A- I agree he was the best pick and believe me I know the bottom sucks. I usually picked 10 and below in these. the NE running game has it problems/flaws . Willis might be the only other RB at that point to consider. I actually thought you might go MJD in round1 but Im sure TL would have grabbed Gates.

MJD scares me in survivors.

FYI.... C equals average, middle of the pack, 8th-9th out of 16 teams. I haven't seen anyone grading conservatively. P.S. Note I passed on numerous PAC10 jokes above.
My grading system for the record.A+ = Well above averageB+ = Above AverageB = AverageB- = Below AverageC = Well Below AverageI'm getting nicer in my old age.
 
QB- Palmer(5), Garcia(10), Simms(10)
Solid.Grade = A

RB- Portis(4), Jacobs(9),Perry(5),Moats(5)
This group looks risky to me. I do think Portis will bounce back to be a second tier RB, but Jacobs is unproven and I don't like either of your depth guys...you waited too long on Droughns. RB may very well be your downfall.Grade = C+

WR- LarryFitz(8), Berrian(9), Kennison(8), Keyshawn(7), Lelie(6), Roscoe P. (6),TabPerry(5)
About the same as everyone else.Grade = B

TE- V.Davis(6), Troupe (4)

D- Carolina(7),San Fran (6)
Solid here.Grade = B

I usually don't like teams that I think are weak at RB or WR...given your risk at TE I'm going to bump you to slightly below average and would probably rank your team in the 9-12 range not taking into account bye weeks.

Overall Grade = B-

 
jeter23

PDSL 1

9th pick

QB

2.08 Peyton Manning (6)

10.08 Tarvaris Jackson (5)

I was not planning on taking a QB as early as I did, but there was no RB that I really wanted at that spot and I felt Manning was good value. The QB run in the mid rounds certainly hurt my backup. Of course, having Manning makes that less of an issue.

A- (if Jackson starts for Minny)

B (if Jackson does not start)

RB

1.09 Joseph Addai (6)

3.09 Duece McAllister (4)

4.08 Adrian Peterson

13.09 Kenny Irons

19.09 Brandon Jackson

This is certainly a young group other than Duece, but I am still very happy with my depth. If Irons or Jackson end up getting a decent amount of playing time, this should be the best group in the league.

A

WR

5.09 Jerricho Cotchery (10)

7.09 Santonio Holmes (6)

8.08 Greg Jennings (7)

11.08 Dwayne Bowe

14.08 Robert Meachem

18.08 Roddy White (8)

20.08 Malcolm Floyd (7)

Going with Manning early and having depth at RB cost me big time at WR. After getting my first three WRs, I really planned to take a vet, but I got sniped several times. I ended up with too many rookies and guys that might not see a lot of time. It is possible that I have only one starting WR.

C-

TE

6.08 Ben Watson (10)

12.08 Marcedes Lewis (4)

I have never been one that was high on Watson and I know he disappointed a lot of us last year. After suffering at WR, i decided to get as many top players at the "other" positions. I chose Watson over a lower tier WR.

B

Kicker

15.09 Matt Stover (8)

17.09 Matt Bryant (10)

I waited a round too late on a kicker, but was still happy to get Stover in the middle of the big run. I also was one of the last to get my 2nd kicker, but as long as Bryant has a job, I will be happy.

B-

Defense

9.07 Chicago (9)

16.08 Buffalo (6)

Getting the Bears early followed along with my hope of getting some of the top players at the other spots (other than RB and WR). I didn't really start a run, but I wouldn't have gotten them or Baltimore with my next pick. I doubt Buffalo is as good as they have been recently, but they will work fine as a Def2 for me.

A+

Overall-

I think I ended up with way too many rookies and 2nd year players on my team. This may end up being a good thing, but it is way too early to tell. There is some definite upside on this team, but that is a bad word this time of year.

B

you know as well as everyone else that is a vet in these that RB2 is very overrated. there is risk here, but not as much as your squad.

THOM YORKE

QB

Donovan McNabb (5)

Alex Smith (6)

A.J. Feeley (5)

High risk here, I've had McNabb in these before and you'll dominate until week 8 when he's hurt. Alex Smith is a solid backup.

RB

Ronnie Brown (9)

Ahman Green (10)

Fred Taylor (4)

Cedric Houston (10)

I dont like this group, Ahman Green misses games every year and Ronnie Brown may have the worst Oline in the NFL. Freddy is long in the tooth and completely in RBBC.

WR

Steve Smith (7)

Mike Furrey (6)

Kevin Curtis (5)

Wes Welker (10)

Joe Jurevicius (7)

Nate Burleson (8)

David Patten (4)

A great #1 then a bunch of solid guys, alot like my squad.

TE

Daniel Graham (6)

Alex Smith (10)

Not sure what to think here, Dan graham got paid big money in Denver and should be the #1, but he's going to lose TE catches to Scheffler, and can you rely on him week in and week out? A smith has a nice upside

K

Stephen Gostkowski (10)

Rob Bironas (4)

DT/ST

Dallas (8)

Minnesota (5)

Nice D's and your K's should be fine

Rate away...I'll reserve my comments until after I hear what a few of you guys think. :no:
I think your in it until Dono goes down. Picking right in front of me I would have grabbed Portis or Henry then came back with a WR like TO or Marv/Wayne.

PDSL 1 Team (Byes)

QB: Vince Young (4), Steve McNair (8)

Good solid pair, should platoon nicely week to week

RB: Reggie Bush (4), Cadillac Williams (10), Mike Bell (6), Corey Dillon (?)

Reggie in PPR is money, I like Caddy to rebound and was my target. Remember that WCOFF we were in together, my man love for caddy cost me there. Dillon might land in the right spot for you. Should be fine here.

WR: Torry Holt (9), Randy Moss (5), Matt Jones (4), Jerry Porter (5), Rod Smith (6), Eric Moulds (?)

holt I like, but Moss/Porter seems odd, you're local in the bay, I assume Randy moves and that Porter is the defacto #1. Matt Jones will underperform again, not sure about your last two guys either, they have no upside really and are WR3's on their teams.

Holt is solid and I think you needed one more WR than 3 TE's and D's

TE: Jeremy Shockey (9), Bubba Franks (7), Zach Miller (?)

I would have rolled with just Shockey & Bubba.

K: Olindo Mare (4), Sebastian Janikowski (5)

DEF: Indianapolis Colts (6), Atlanta Falcons (8), Cleveland Browns (7)

SOlid here, not sure if you needed Cleveland.
Overall Rads, your going to be fine, but your WR needs to shake out in your favor. think Moss in GB and Moulds in say SD or back in Houston, if he gets a gig at all. QB -Bush and Holt-Shockey is a very nice foundation.

My team - PDSL 1

QB- 7.16 Jay Cutler (6), 9.16 Trent Green (8 or 7 or 9), 11.16 Charlie Frye (7)

Some may not like this, but I intentionally sacrificed QB knowing that I could get a Cutler type player as a starter. Unless I have a Peyton or a Palmer, I ALWAYS grab 3 QBs in these and it has served me well. Was hoping for a Garcia/Simms type combo, but I'm confident in Green's starter status and I think Frye will get the helm.

RB- 1.16 Mo Jo Drew (4), 3.16 DeAngelo Williams (7), 8.1 Vernand Morency (7), 16.1 Michael Bush

I can't believe somebody would say that Drew isn't a good player in this format. I remember a stat from last year that showed that ONLY LT, LJ, Westy and Gore had MORE games over 10 Points than Drew had. And MJD didn't really play the first two games. He had 14 games over 10 points! That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for at the end of Round 1. DWill will explode this year, but keep it on the low low.. I'm scoring him in my Dynasties this year. Morency is the starter... for now... so I'll take him in the 8th. Bush is a flier. Maybe he contributes, maybe he doesn't, but in the 16th, I went for upside.

WR- 2.1 Chad Johnson (5), 5.16 Joe Horn (8), 6.1 Calvin Johnson (5 or 10), 10.1 DJ Hackett (8), 12.1 Bobby Wade (5), 19.16 Mark Bradley (9), 20.1 Justin Gage (4)

Chad will rebound, especially with Henry on the shelf. After Chad, this group is ALL about... OPPORTUNITY. That was my keyword for this WR draft. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, like this group after Chad. I like it because these guys all have OPPORTUNITY waiting to be seized. Whether they do it or now is a BIG question.

I'm looking for a Horn led offense. Petrino will emplore his QB to lean on Joe. One would think they tested him pretty good before signing him right? (I hope).

Calvin should contribute on par with Fitz's and Randy's first year based on talent. I don't think you can keep him off the field.

Hackett looks like a potential #2 for Seattle in the 10th, that would be VERY nice this late. If DJack is traded, this group goes thru the roof.

Wade could be Minny's # 1. Not sure what that's worth, but its gotta be good in the 12th. McMullen and Williamson aren't great hurdles to overcome.

Bradley is Moose's heir apparent, so he just needs to get and stay healthy.

Gage actually is looking like a strong WR1 candidate for the Titans. News regarding Titans wideouts have hopes that Gage can be Young's TOP, yes I said TOP target. Whether he has that talent or not we'll see.

TE- 4.1 Kellen Winslow (7) 18.1 Bo Scaife (4)

I'm banking on KDub's health and I'm in this thing to win it. If he's healthy, 2 PPR in the 4th is a great contributor weekly. I think he'll be fine, contrary to Yudkin's analysis. I'm buying the reports I listed earlier. Young likes Scaife from their UT days and has a knack for finding him.

PK- 13.16 Robbie Gould (9), 17.16 Martin Gramatica ( )

DST-14.1 Miami (9), 15.16 Cincy (5)

Best Kicker in the game and the starter in Dallas who has a new contract.

Miami was a great offense last year and it only will get better with Joey Porter. Bengals D is good in this format as they have alot of high scoring games.

Overall: I know this won't be a popular team, but I see it as a contender, and I would and always do shoot everyone straight if I didn't. I didn't like my team last year in SS2 and it's now in SS1. That's how these things go.

i also have no clue where lhucks was coming from in regards to mjdrew
I think his TD totals could take a hit as defenses begin to gameplan for him. With that hit I think he'll have a handful of "dud" games...the exact type of game that can be harmful in the survivor format.Don't get me wrong, I love this kid and have him ranked right behind maroney in this format.

QB: Leinart 8, Lefwich 4

I like Leinart with the weapons he has and see a QB12 finish with a high deviation in scoring. Leftwich has been a very good fantasy producer when he plays. Grade C

RB: LJ 8, Jordan 5, Bell 6, Booker ?

LJ counts for 1.5 RBs. My success will hinge on every Jordan or Bell hitting. Pretty confident in Jordan, not so much in Bell. Hoping Booker = 2006 MJD later in the year. Grade B

WR: ROY 6, Walker 6, Stallworth 10, Booker 9, Randle El 4, Washington 6, Gonzalez ?

My top 2 are WR1's in this league and I expected one or both to be knocking at top 5 numbers. Stallworth and Booker frequently post huge weeks, El and Washington an occasional huge week. Gonzalez is probably a warm body. Grade A

TE: McMichael 9, Pope 8, Fletcher 6

Three guys on high scoring offenses. Wouldn't mind seeing Fletcher in the slot this year with Stokley gone. Grade D

D: SD 7, Tampa 10 Grade B

K: Rackers 8, Akers 5 Grade B

Certainly not a favorite to win, but definately a lot of upside with this squad. This is the type of group that could either flame out early or be winning immunity on a weekly basis later in the year.

I like what you did here BnB. Starting the draft off with LJ, Roy and Walker, you'd have to be an idiot to mess it up. You did pretty much what I would have done from that spot early on. Taking Stallworth over Randy Moss would have been REAL TOUGH for me.
 
because I'm conservative when rating my own team usually.
FYI.... C equals average, middle of the pack, 8th-9th out of 16 teams. I haven't seen anyone grading conservatively. P.S. Note I passed on numerous PAC10 jokes above.
Also, top schools rarely handout C's. :lmao:
:confused: Maybe in grad school. All I know is that my entry level engineering classes graded on a curve.....60 out of 100 was often the top score and those classes include 20% foreigners who were doomed to the rice fields if the screwed up. I had one class where the prof flat out said that 20% of you were destined to repeat this class.Regarding grading here, I would like to see an entire range used so I can see where people really stand. With A+ to F- consuming 15 spots, it meshes well with the 16 teams here.
 
QB: Leinart 8, Lefwich 4

I like Leinart, and I typically think it is good to match a vet with a young plaer. Why not take Warner over Fletcher just in case though? I expect Gary Coleman to get hurt, but overall you should be fine grade: B

RB: LJ 8, Jordan 5, Bell 6, Booker ?

LJ is a stud and Jordan = supervalue, I expect a quasi-rebound season from him not to 05 levels but still a rebound, Bell in the D? not so sure he might moved on draft day. Booker, probably a 3rd down type, probably special team to start grade: B+

WR: ROY 6, Walker 6, Stallworth 10, Booker 9, Randle El 4, Washington 6, Gonzalez ?

Roy is good to go, your obviously higher on Walker than most, on week 6 you only have booker, randl-el, and a rookie, could be tough sledding. top 4 give nice depth most weeks. Grade - A- but week 6 is key.

TE: McMichael 9, Pope 8, Fletcher 6

I almsot took McMike as a back up, but this is clearly a weak spot as I dont think Wisenhut will use Pope in the passing game much and Flecther is TE3 for his own team. C-

D: SD 7, Tampa 10 Grade B

K: Rackers 8, Akers 5 Grade B

Solid,very solid here, will be in the top half for these spots. A
Overall Bass your team looks really good, upper 1/4 even, week 6 is tough, but with 6 teams off, you wont be alone.Immunity after weeks 5 & 7 are going to be huge in all these leagues

17.15 DEF22 Detroit Det/8

QBs: Kitna concerns me. Delhomme represented excellent value. Grade C.

RBs: Maroney was on my value play list early in the year. If KJ doesn't play you could be eating a lot of donuts. I'm bumping you to a D+ because you threw a bunch of crap at the wall and something might stick. Grade D+

WRs: 6 is thin when two are older and have been accumulating injuries. Baskett/Williamson/Clayton. This team is starting to look like a police station with all the donut eating. Grade D

TEs: You got the best and a reasonable safety valve. Grade A+

K: Kasey's leg is vastly underrated. Grade A+

D: Seattle and Detroit will exceed expectations in this format. Grade B-

Overall this team is littered with too much risk for my taste. I think the early Gates pick really hurt this team as the rest of the draft didn't unfold in a way Lhucks could optimize it. Grade C-

 
because I'm conservative when rating my own team usually.
FYI.... C equals average, middle of the pack, 8th-9th out of 16 teams. I haven't seen anyone grading conservatively. P.S. Note I passed on numerous PAC10 jokes above.
Also, top schools rarely handout C's. :drive:
:bag: Maybe in grad school. All I know is that my entry level engineering classes graded on a curve.....60 out of 100 was often the top score and those classes include 20% foreigners who were doomed to the rice fields if the screwed up. I had one class where the prof flat out said that 20% of you were destined to repeat this class.Regarding grading here, I would like to see an entire range used so I can see where people really stand. With A+ to F- consuming 15 spots, it meshes well with the 16 teams here.
I agree with this. There were plenty of people that failed out of the school I went to. I also concur with the much stricter grading scale. Better to be a Simon and be a bit more critical and learn something, than be a Paula and give each other reach arounds.

To be honest of the teams I've seen I haven't seen an F or D...we've been doing these for several years now and everybody understands how to draft for this format. When we first started drafting I was pretty much the only one going 8 deep at WR and 4 deep at RB, now it's what everybody tries to do. Everybody knows when the runs are coming and everybody knows each others tendencies. All of that levels the playing field and and the best teams should really be the teams that draft 1-5...because they get the huge advantage of safe, high scoring RBs in addition to 3 of the top 38 players.IMHO, we need to change the format. I have plenty of ideas as I've been thinking about it for a while now.

I know Rzr77 did this for the WSL and assigned 1-16 points for each postion then ranked the teams, maybe he would do it again
 
QBs: Kitna concerns me.
Which is why he is value.
RBs: Maroney was on my value play list early in the year. If KJ doesn't play you could be eating a lot of donuts.
Why wouldn't KJ play? Are you predicting he misses the entire season? :thumbdown:
I'm bumping you to a D+ because you threw a bunch of crap at the wall and something might stick. Grade D+
Nice backpedal with a qualifier here...I learned that one in law school.

You've got to take some calculated risks if you're drafting at the bottom.

You don't really think you ever had the patent on this strategy do you? And there were a few people that took 7 or more in these regularly like myself.

IMHO, we need to change the format. I have plenty of ideas as I've been thinking about it for a while now.

I offered up one solution already in one of the draft threads. I'd love to implement it for a league that we could do in between the SSLs and MBSLs if there's enough interest.

I'm in agreement re: format. I think a good brainstorming session is in order, followed up with a modified survivor league of some sort being drafted post-SSL's.
 
wow, after reading all the reviews on the other teams in this league....i guess i'll go ahead and throw in the towel, cause my team stands NO chance. and it might not.

Pick Pos Player Team

QBs

03.10 QB2 Drew Brees NO/7

10.07 QB29 Damon Huard KC/3

19.10 QB46 Kyle Boller Bal/7

actually the QB of choice was palmer but couldn't with having rudi, but Brees is not a bad second choice. got a little screwed on the 2nd Qb but Huard should get time, Boller was taken because Mcnair will get hurt

RBs

01.10 RB11 Rudi Johnson Cin/5

02.07 RB18 Thomas Jones Chi/7

08.07 RB27 Dominic Rhodes Ind/6

13.10 RB41 Michael Pittman TB/4

20.07 RB62 Kenny Watson Cin/5

like Rudi and Jones alot, hopefully rhodes can catch some carries in Oak, Pittman- who knows, Watson has been the back up to Rudi as Perry can't stay healthy

WRs

05.10 WR20 Terry Glenn Dal/3

04.07 WR26 Reggie Brown Phi/9

06.07 WR63 Vincent Jackson SD/3

09.10 WR74 Brandon Jones Ten/7

18.07 WR117 Brandon Stokley Ind/6

17.10 WR999 Sidney Rice FA

if i have a strength it's in the WRs, i think from top to bottom as good as any

TEs

07.10 TE18 Dallas Clark Ind/6

11.10 TE999 Greg Olsen FA

clark was used a good deal last year as a WR so i'm hopping for that again, Olsen ???? wanted a 3rd but it just didn't happen

K

15.10 PK13 Joe Nedney SF/7

as a rule i only take 1 kicker in these thing, but i try for an early week off

Def

12.07 DEF12 Philadelphia Phi/9

one just never knows about def.
