I used this thread to help prepare so I'll try and give back by saying how it went for me last night.12 team, PPR, 6 pt TD (including QB), start 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex RB/WR, TE mandatory . I'd rank the league a 7 out of 12 in terms of expertise.1st Rd1. CJ2. Ray Rice (drafted in baltimore)3. AP4. MJD5. Gore6. AJ7. Rodgers8. Brees9. Manning10. Turner (I was really hoping he would fall to me)11. Moss12. S Jackson2.1 Wayne2.2 MathewsSo, I ended up with Moss and Mathews after 2 rounds. I liked it yesterday, but am loving it today. Partly because of the Mathews thread that is pumping him up. I would have gone Turner if he was there in the 1st, and by Wayne and Jackson being taken at the turn, it made picking Mathews pretty easy for me. When it got back to me in the 3rd, I was looking at Grant or S Green. I ended up going Grant and Green went right after me. The top 5-6 QB's had already been taken and there was just a run on WR's leading up to my 3rd round pick. I ended up going Dallas Clark in the 4th. TE is required, and in a PPR league I thought he was the best available player. I was also looking at Best, Spiller and Foster but thought it would be reaching a little taking them at 4.2.Best and Spiller went before my next pick and I took A. Foster without hesitation at 5.11. I got my WR2 in the 6th with P Garcon. Since I waited until the end of the 7th to take a QB, I went Cutler at 7.11 and Favre at 8.2. Hopefully one of them will be serviceable throughout the season. I finished my position players in order starting in the 9th: Fred Jackson, Steve Slaton, Devin Hester, M Williams (TB), J Gafney.My last two picks were Rackers and the Bears DST.I ended up with:CutlerFavreMathewsGrantFosterJacksonSlatonMossGarconHesterWilliamsGafneyClarkRackersBearsI wasn't thrilled with the 11 spot going into the draft, but I feel good about what I was able to walk away with.

I also had MJD fall to #9 last night. Andre Johnson and 3 QB went in the top 8.Truly stunning for a league that starts 3 RB. Maybe people are believing the surgery rumor.How does MJD fall to # 9?1 9 Pull My Finger Maurice Jones-Drew RB JAC
