don't want to hijack the thread, but here is the link to the rosters in my league... http://football18.myfantasyleague.com/2009...=25205&O=07My team is Ratso Rizzo and looks like this:Looks like you aren't out of practice for re-draft. It's a very good team here. What does your dynasty team look like (and basic rules?)Overall I feel this team could compete with any other team in this mock. I stated earlier that i only play in one league and it is a dynasty keeper league, salary cap IDP. I haven't "drafted" a team from scratch since 1998, so this was fun. Thanks for having me
I was about to take NE...probably should have then taking Jennings, who is probably going to go under the radar with MJD in front of him (but a good handcuff for MJD, i think).15.02 CHI DEF...yeah yeah, I know. Getting old, finished around 11th last year...but, well, we'll see.For my last picks I need to go D and WR.
14.10 Def- New England
15.01 WR Miles Austin-Dal
Please elaborate on these!...I have been looking at the two types of 3rd Round Reversal, and wondering when it provides more balance. In a 10 team league should it be considered?Banzai Method or 3RS

Per PFT they tried repeatedly to move into the end of the first to grab Beanie. Not a vote of confidence."Saints tried to move up and grab Beanie Wells - I will not be surprised if they bring in someone else to get RB touches. For the same reasons they "didn't hand over the chores" until everyone else was hurt. "Did they actually try? I read they would have tried if he got to the second round. Many teams might have done that.I understand that those other RBs have value but many would argue if either one ranks ahead of Pierre, even you might not rank them higher. Remember I was at the turn and really couldn't think anyone would be there at my next pick.I'm not getting defensive because I picked him, I own him in my main keeper and I am psyched for him to prove my genius, so to speak.
No, it shows he looked good in training camp and the pre-season. If he gets 260 touches - and that's a huge if - he will probably see a drop in his 4.8 average he accumulated in a handful of starts and regular spot duty the first half of the year. NO brought in PJ Hill and Mike Bell to fight for short yardage duties. (FBG blogger) So I would not bank on goalline, and obviously, Bush is the pass catching back. Pierre is a between the 20's guy, an RBBC guy, a potentially good guy. I like PT. I have him as a 6-7 round value. To exceed that, he will need an injury to Bush. I'm not picking anyone in the 4th/5th rounds that I am depending on an injury for him to succeed. He also will have to fight off contenders for GL work. And to extrapolate pre-season and spot duty is worrisome.Choke said:It just shows a consistency to his work. He keeps producing at a high level at every opportunity.Now he will have a bigger role... there is no reason to expect him to falter or come up short of his own levels.If "things go right", Bush will be limited once again by health issues and Thomas will turn his 4.8 average loose on 260 carries and all the goalline work for the Saints. Let alone receiving.You are over-estimating him.Adding in pre-season numbers? David Clowney was awesome in preseason the last two years. Where is he being drafted in your leagues? Preseason numbers and spot work - when he's fresh - don't add up to a "full season." take all those 8 carry days and week 2 preseason against the Bengals stats. They mean little. If he gets 200 touches you will see a serious drop. Saints tried to move up and grab Beanie Wells - I will not be surprised if they bring in someone else to get RB touches. For the same reasons they "didn't hand over the chores" until everyone else was hurt. PT = Average back in an RBBC. It's a PPR league, and he's not even the primary pass catching back in the RBBC. The 4/5 turn in a 10 teamer? Hard to see him justifying that. I'm assuming things go right for Pierre, and he gets 1100 total yards and 30 catches, maybe 8 TD. That's 173 points. Round 6 RBs like Ward, Grant, and Jones should all be comparable.It is hard to find a more hyped - or overinflated player - than PT this offseason. I mean, did you see what he did in the preseason in 2007? It's like urban legend.

Nice link! But do you think they would have done the same for Crabtree? I do. I believe this has nothing to do with PThomas skills or lack there of. It has to do with Beanie slipping too far on their draft board. They undoubtedly would carry more RBs than Bush and Thomas.In the end we have PThomas, Bush, Bell, Evens and... am I missing anyone? That to me looks like a good gamble for at least the strong part of a RBBC. I AM drinking the PThomas kool aid.http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/25/...-to-get-beanie/Link?Per PFT they tried repeatedly to move into the end of the first to grab Beanie.

I think there is definitely some merit to that. I wasn't really a part of the argument until I posted the link but I am leaning toward Thomas being a decent RB2 in this format. It seems he will be the guy just based on the fact that Bush is coming back from a knee injury and the lack of competition. The fact that he's playing the Saints' offense makes him that much more appealing. He's definitely a guy to keep an eye on.Nice link! But do you think they would have done the same for Crabtree?

Called it here guys. Now who would be feeling better, the guy that took Westy in round 1, or the guy that grabbed his eventual replacement 10 rounds later. Westy can't stay healthy, enough said.11.9 Lesean Mccoythis is a what the hell pickLI need a backup QB, two more WR's, one more RB, and a Defense,I am an Eagles Homer, and I know westy is 30 and he has really never been able to play a full season. I expect that to happen again this year, and McCoy should fill in nicely. Backups like this come in handy if you make FF playoffs and the cards fall right.Also, if i were the Westy owner I would not be happy right now. I thought about Charles to handcuff with LJ, but I don't think he's going to be trusted even if LJ goes down...I thought about a guy who had 700 yards and 15 TD's last year too....but in the end I'll grab a rookie
