Manning, Peyton IND QB 11 6.08
Newton, Cam CAR QB 9 15.05
Stafford, Matthew DET QB 9 7.05
Even with the probability he will miss the 1st game (or 2), I felt Peyton was a value in the mid-late 6th round. I backed him up the very next round with Stafford, who is definitely creeping up my QB rankings. Newton in the 15th to cover Peyton's missed game and potentially coming out hot.
Carter, Delone IND RB 11 9.05
Forte, Matt CHI RB 8 2.08
Foster, Arian HOU RB 11 1.05
McGahee, Willis DEN RB 6 8.08
Ward, Derrick HOU RB 11 18.08
Williams, DeAngelo CAR RB 9 4.08
In hindsight, not real happy with the Foster pick. Looks like his injury is more severe than I thought it would be. Just in case, I loaded up on RB talent in the early rounds with Forte, DWill, and Mcgahee. I think all of them outproduce their draft slots. Carter may not get much action until Addai gets hurt, so he may not have value until after week 5, but who knows. Ward late to cover some of foster's carries should he miss time. I don't think Ben Tate gets more than 50% of those carries. Overall, I think I get a lot of my flex play out of this position
Briscoe, Dezmon TBB WR 8 16.08
Brown, Antonio PIT WR 11 12.08
Bryant, Dez DAL WR 5 5.05
Douglas, Harry ATL WR 8 17.05
Moore, Denarius OAK WR 8 10.08
Morgan, Josh SFO WR 7 24.08
Parrish, Roscoe BUF WR 7 23.05
Wayne, Reggie IND WR 11 3.05
Top two should be $$. Wayne in the mid third feels like a steal even if it's Collins or Painter to start week 1. Moore should be ok as a WR3, especially since we only start 2 WR (with 2 flex options). Pretty much pure upside picks after that. Brown was probably early, but after the night he was having I wanted to make sure I got him. I saw him go in the 15th earlier in the week. Briscoe has been turning heads and is ahead of Benn at this point I think. Douglas looks like he could play a significant role for Atlanta, even with JJ at the #2 Douglas is more suited for the slot anyway. Josh Morgan should have value, especially if Crabtree doesn't make it back. Parrish could see a lot of looks with Steve Johnson seeing a lot more double teams in the wake of Evans' departure.
Feel free to convince me otherwise, but I don't see a lot of value in taking guys like Donald Driver and Desmond Mason as your WR4, WR5, or higher. I think that since we only have to start two, high upside picks at WR are the way to go in a BB/all-play format. I saw some high fiving after picks like those around the same time I started taking the guys that have the potential for huge games
Boss, Kevin OAK TE 8 13.05
Cook, Jared TEN TE 6 11.05
Definitely would have liked to be better here. Despite being in the middle of the draft, I never felt like I could grab any value at the position. I do like Cook's upside and will be plenty happy if Boss can come close to Zach Miller's numbers when he was in Oakland.
Hanson, Jason DET PK 9 19.05
Reed, Jeff SEA PK 6 21.05
Two starters whoopity do
Bills, Buffalo BUF Def 7 22.08
Browns, Cleveland CLE Def 5 20.08
Packers, Green Bay GBP Def 8 14.08
I was surprised to get the Packers as the 6th DST off the board. Plenty happy with that. I like to go 3 deep at DST in a best ball format whenever possible.
Overall pretty happy. If one or two of those upside WRs hit then I think I definitely have a shot at advancing.
