I'll do a personal draft summary with commentary, just 'cause I'm bored:
Pick Ovr Franchise Selection Date/Time Comments 1.01 1. Chris Overton Tomlinson, Ladainian SDC RB Mon Feb 12 10:46:15 a.m. ET 2007 3.01 33. Chris Overton Colston, Marques NOS WR Tue Feb 13 12:58:21 p.m. ET 2007 4.06 54. Chris Overton Burress, Plaxico NYG WR Wed Feb 14 1:24:24 a.m. ET 2007 4.16 64. Chris Overton Bulger, Marc STL QB Wed Feb 14 7:31:27 p.m. ET 2007 5.13 77. Chris Overton Peppers, Julius CAR DE Thu Feb 15 11:15:54 a.m. ET 2007 5.16 80. Chris Overton Scheffler, Tony DEN TE Thu Feb 15 12:14:35 p.m. ET 20071.01(1) Tomlinson- I'd be lying to you if I said that I feel like I got great value here, not because LT't not elite and maybe all time elite, but because he's six years into his career, is in his late 20's (though still only 28 next year) and has a lot of mileage. Optimally, I had hoped to trade down to 1.04 or 1.05 and grab Gore, but I couldn't make that happen. The hope here is that LT's career resembles Walter Payton's after his 6th season, when his 7th-12th seasons (exclusing 1982 strike season) averaged 1450 rushing yards and 9 rushing TD's. If I'm right and I draft a good team otherwise, I could have an elite team; if not, I can still be good but I'm going to have a chronically weak RB corps for some time because the scoring format forces me to look to other positions for value in this draft. 2.16(32) - traded down:
Chris Overton gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 2.16Ben Bregitzer gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 4.06;Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.16 I feel like I got great value here. I picked up two still-early picks from one pick that was just outside of the part of the draft where the "franchise players" were. (Bregitzer selected QB Drew Brees - see below.)
3.01(33) Colston- Dammit, Bregitzer selected Brees! That's who I wanted here (I'm disclosing this for the first time here).
But that's what I get for trading my first instead of my second of two back to back picks. Regarding Colston, I picked him as the WR8 which is earlier than most dynasty ADP's I'm aware of, but the other WR's still on the board in this WR-flattering scoring format were either too old for me to be comfortable (Harrison, TO) or had other concerns (Andre Johnson: shoddy QB situation, few TD's, poor ypc avg; Javon Walker: young QB and major knee injury & will be 29 this year). Lee Evans was a viable option, but God knows Colston has a better QB throwing him the ball and an aggressive head coach. Bottom line: my gut told me Colston so I went with it.
4.06(54) Burress- It came down to this: snagging Burress in a WR-heavy league as the WR21 is just too much value to pass up. He has big games and scores TD's (much like the feast-or-famine QB who throws him the ball). I was thinking TE here, but Gates, Winslow, Heap, Davis, Gonzo & Shockey were all off the board, and I thought it was still too early to pick Cooley who I think could be scary in this system with Campbell throwing to him. I went with Burress and planned to snag Cooley with my next pick, before grabbing a QB (hopefully Bulger) on the 4.16-5.01 turn.
4.16(64) Bulger- No such luck with Cooley, who was selected at 4.08(56). Nobody else here impresses me using a rough, seat of the pants combination of VBD and ADP except for Bulger, so I snag him and try to trade down from my 5.01 spot (see below). I love Bulger in this format where you get 12pt bonuses for 300+ yard games, which
he has a lot of, including 8 in 16 games last year, 12 in his last 24 games and 16 in his last 38 games. That's the reason why I chose him over Brady. And his overall stats are comparable to Brees. Not too shabby for the QB7. I also couldn't wait any longer because Leinart went the pick before and McNabb 11 picks before that, so I smell a run on QB's (and I was right- this pick was immediately followed by Vick, Brady & Romo, with picks of Cutler and Rivers less than 10 picks later. This pick, plus the value I got in the earlier trade, make up for losing Brees - I'm no longer kicking myself.
5.01(65) - traded down
Chris Overton gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.01;Year 2006 Draft Pick 11.01Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 7.07I learned my lesson with the trade down from 2.16 and the loss of Brees; this time I trade the
2nd of my two picks so I can choose Bulger with the first. Did it make a difference? Yes, Jeff indicated immediately that he would have picked Bulger here. Fool me once . . .5.13(77) Julius Peppers - DeMeco Ryans went at 5.05(69), so I can't wait any longer for the guy who I regard as the premier IDP player on the board. Peppers is simply a steal here, though you wouldn't know it from his ADP in this kind of draft. People simply wait too long to pick guys like him, so this is great value. The only other consideration here was to grab TE Tony Scheffler, but after quickly checking and confirming that the two guys with picks between this one and my next pick already had TE's, I decided to go with Peppers.
5.16(80) Scheffler- I preselected him when I picked Peppers. Sure enough, the two intervening picks were Jerious Norwood (who I like a lot) and Ben Roethlisberger. I'm high on Scheffler for much the same reasons as I'm high on Chris Cooley: both guys' stats jumped when their respective teams inserted the young QB's, Cutler and Campbell, into their lineups. If you project Scheffler's stats from the last four games over the entire season, he'd have been the TE2 in this format, which is pretty eye-popping for the guy selected TE12. He's also very young, and with a young QB in a proven TE-friendly system.
Edit to add - here's where the TE's have gone in the draft so far:
I've been holding my breath all day. The last WR # 1 on the board. Now I can "play". 
*eta* The last WR # 1 not associated with a WRBC 
I'd have a hard time taking Urlacher, Jamal Lewis, Branch, or Norwood over him.
about the 6.11 pick, but I am very happy overall with how my roster is shaping up. We'll see what the 7.04 will bring.....
