This was a tight draft, way tighter than the two held last night. I drafted from the 6th hole. I am very strong at RB and TE, but really weak at QB and not too strong at WR. Here goes.
QB's
Chad Pennington (11.07) - good schedule, and no bye issue. I need a decent Pennington to contend.
Matt Hasselbeck (12.06) - no bye, but back issue. Out the 1st week, so I had to take...
Jeff Garcia (14.06) - need him to stay the starter for a few weeks.
I seriously debated taking Charlie Frye for just this week in the 22nd round, but decided to take a 2nd defense.
RB
Marion Barber (1.06)
Steve Slaton (2.07)
M Jones-Drew (3.07)
Larry Johnson (4.06)
Maurice Morris (20.06)
This is the strength of my team. I will need 3 strong scores a week in order to contend. I couldn't pass on LJ in round 4 even though I had 3 starting RB's already.
WR
I knew I would need 8 WR's going into this draft and hope to cobble together 3 good scores per week.
Bobby Engram (6.06)
Donald Driver (7.07)
Anthony Gonzalez (9.07)
Patrick Crayton (10.06)
Donte Stallworth (15.07) - I hate this inconsistent guy, but he has a little bit of value in a draftmasters format like this.
Bobby Wade (16.06) - hoping for a good week this week against Detroit. It is possible.
Joey Galloway (17.07) - need him to come back and play next week.
Jabar Gaffney (18.06) - no bye, maybe 2 good weeks.
These guys are not stellar. I have four short reception types guys and a few burners. I need a little luck.
TE's
Antonio Gates (5.07)
Kellen "Grapefruits" Winslow (8.06)
This is a very strong position, too. I went with the 2nd TE because Winslow could be a flex on 3 weeks and fills in great for Gates' bye. Plus, TE is so weak after the top 5 guys this year that I went for an advantage here.
K's
J. Scobee (19.07) - Great schedule of games for his 4 weeks.
Matt Stover (21.07) - no bye.
Def's
Minnesota (13.07) - Pretty good schedule, starting with the Lions.
San Francisco (22.06) - no upside, but you never know.
I was much happier with the team I got in round 1. My QB's are frightening here.
The teams are pretty well balanced in this league. Good draft, guys.

Not one of my better efforts, sorry to say.I
myself after the Penn State/Wisconsin distraction kicked off...got caught up out-thinking myself trying to work too many angles at the same time, and waited too long on taking late-round value QB's, since it's been my experience with WCOFF-style Drafts to wait on QB, due to scoring. Got caught up in trying to sew up too many 'Team situations' Obviously, I gambled and lost there...and it's going to wind up costing me, I'm sure.***Edited to add bye weeks and eventually, commentary***
Frerotte/8, JRussell/5, O'Connell/4
Picking out of the 11 Spot, ultimately my Draft will be measured by how much production I get out of Owen Daniels and Muhsin Muhammed, who were my 6.11/7.02 selections. I had planned on building a QB group anchored by Schaub/Rosenfels or Delhomme or the tandem at the 8/9 turn. They went 8.08/8.09, and not only that, Campbell and Rivers went late 7th/early 8th, leaving the cupboard relatively bare through 8 Rounds. Eight freakin' rounds, in a format where you can only start one, and QB scoring is devalued. Go figure. I absolutely hate being backed into a corner and being forced to make picks, and every time the turn came my way for the next few Rounds, I just couldn't pick from the dreck that was left.
Eight freakin' rounds.
In a format where you can start only one.
And QB scoring is devalued.
Top 3 looks like a Pipe Dream for me, but I've revised my goals somewhat for Leg 2 - I'll take some small measure of pyrrhic victory away from this Leg if I finish ahead of Unlucky, Dufresne, bryhamm and Clayton, who, I think, all took QB2's far earlier than their Drafts called for - given the scoring system, rules, and what was left in the Player Pool when they made those choices. Unlucky in particular, who I have a long and healthy rivalry with in a Dynasty League, will get an extra needle in the voodoo doll this week, for putting his Team on Auto-Draft, which picked him Warner in the 5th to go with his 1st Rd pick of Romo, thus effectively robbing 1 Team (ultimately me) of a player belonging as someone's QB1, in this format.
Well, that's my whiny tool rant for now...gotta go do some
Lynch/Fred Jackson / 6
TJones/LWashington /5
Dunn/10
AHall/Torain/8
SSmith/Muhammed / 9
Cotchery/5
Holt/5
Breaston/7
Josh Reed/6
ODaniels/8
Keller (Cotchery)/5
Klopfenstein (Holt)/5
Prater/8
Kasay/9
Titans/6
Was gambling to give up a little in Week 6 and come on strong the rest of the Leg, but that's going to be nearly impossible to do without an 'anchor' QB. Instead, I've got 3 anchors potentially dragging me down. We'll see...

Manning, Eli NYG QB - 4
Cassel, Matt NEP QB - 4
Kitna, Jon DET QB (D) - 4
No bye weeks here so hopefully Kitna is back in week 7 to give me 3 QBs each week. Not much upside but should be a solid group and I don't think I spent much to get them (5th, 9th, and 17th round picks).
Jackson, Steven STL RB - 5
Jacobs, Brandon NYG RB - 4
McClain, Le'Ron BAL RB - 2
Ward, Derrick NYG RB - 4
Betts, Ladell WAS RB - 10
Top 4 backs have no bye weeks to deal with. Ward is a flex option in most weeks and a good handcuff for Jacobs. Betts was a late round flier. Spent 1st, 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 19th round picks here. Should hopefully have 3 good totals from this group each week with potential for some multi-TD games from the top 3.
Moss, Randy NEP WR - 4
Welker, Wes NEP WR - 4
Jackson, Vincent SDC WR (P) - 9
Jones, Matt JAC WR - 7
Toomer, Amani NYG WR - 4
Avery, Donnie STL WR - 5
Austin, Miles DAL WR - 10
Have 4 WRs with no bye weeks, including the top 2. Not sure if loading up on the Pats duo was the way to go, but since I have Cassel and Watson too, I'm pretty much counting on the Patriots passing game to do much better after the bye week. Jackson, Jones, and Toomer have all been doing pretty well and should have some steady production with big week potential. Avery and Austin both look like good boom or bust guys to have in a best ball league. Spent 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 13th, and 16th round picks on this position. Should have enough depth to get 3 or 4 good totals each week.
Miller, Heath PIT TE - 6
Watson, Ben NEP TE - 4
My weakest position, but with just 1pt/reception for all positions, I think this is also the least important position. At least both have a solid grasp on their starting job. Only lose Miller to a bye in week 6, but then should have both competing for 1 spot in the lineup each week afterwards. Only spent 12th and 15th round picks here.
Kaeding, Nate SDC PK - 9
Brown, Josh STL PK - 5
Think I got sniped at this position, but Kaeding is one of the most productive kickers in the league and Brown should at least contribute something in all 5 weeks. Spent 18th and 21st round picks here.
Jets, New York NYJ Def - 5
Texans, Houston HOU Def - 2
Raiders, Oakland OAK Def - 5
Went with a 3rd defense because their scoring can be so unpredictable. Really liked the matchups of the top 2 and just grabbed Oakland in the last round as a flier. Spent 14th, 20th, and 22nd round picks here.
Jets: CIN, @OAK, KC, @BUF, STL
Texans: MIA, DET, CIN, @MIN, BAL (4 home games)
I think this team has a decent chance to advance. Felt fortunate that I was able to get so many players with no bye weeks. May have focused a bit too much on that and passed on some better options because I felt that missing a player for 20% of the "season" was going to be tough to overcome.

This seems to be a common theme among the staff drafts. Was there some strategy discussion about this?I liked the early bye strategy if you could use it to save some slots elsewhere. For example two QBs or TEs both with early byes could allow you to go only two deep and add an extra WR/RB. Once you get past the studs that should score every week, I don't think losing a depth player for a week who only has a 33% chance of posting a score anyway is that big of a deal.
there was no staff strategy discussion that I'm aware of.I think it's just common sense though that your team is usually going to be helped more by a 5-week player than a 4-weeks player. My team in Leg 1 was not very strong (QBs were Carson Palmer, Vince Young, and Alex Smith) but I think I did a good job there of generally avoiding players with bye weeks in week 4 or 5 and that helped me advance.Obviously, if you expect the 4-week player to outperform the 5-week player during the weeks when they both play, then you are probably going to be better off taking the 4-week player. But, I just would rather try to maximize the number of quality players active at each position each week to give you more chances of one guy having a big game. When you start piling up bye weeks throughout your lineup and factor in some more low scoring weeks due to tough matchups, some higher picks might only wind up contributing to your total 2 or 3 weeks out of the 5 weeks. I think that can lead to some very high scoring weeks that will help you win, but it could also lead to some very low scoring weeks that will knock you out. I think having more active players leads to improved consistency from week to week without hurting your potential upside all that much.

People say this draft was tight, and it was, so there wasn’t much room for error. Let’s just go thru the teams starting with the 1.01 and moving forward.
Andy Dufresne
QB: P.Manning and D.McNabb…should not have a lot of problems, this looks like a strength to me, top3 at the position.
RB: ADP, McGahee, F.Taylor, Maroney, J.Charles…pretty strong group. I was high on McGahee because of the bye week being gone and the schedule is not too bad either…I think if you were going McGahee, perhaps LeMac made sense at some point.
WR: B.Edwrds, H.Ward, M.Colston, T.Ginn, D.Hester, A.Randel El, J.Nelson, St.Smith(NYG)…solid group with some real bang potential…I like this group, slightly jealous.
TE: Heap, Mercedes, and Shockey…Shockey is not playing, might be out thru the bye…Heap and merceds are not going to win you any games right now.
Def/ST/PK: Vinatieri, Denver, San Diego…might have slipped a little here. I like 2 PK, and Denver is a terrible defense.
Overall: pretty strong but lack of attention to the PK and Def could bite you in the buttocks, but I like the team overall.
David Yudkin
QB: Jason Campbell and Trent Edwards…I don’t like it. Campbell is no sure thing and neither is Edwards…this is a weak dup IMO.
RB: R.Bush, DMac, Deuce, R.Grant, B.Jackson, M.Moore…Bush is a centerpiece, McFadden has some upside, Moore was completely unnecessary but this is a good group.
WR: A.Johnson, Cal Johnson, TJ Housh…that’s a nice starting 3, you took a total of 8, not gonna list them all. Good strong group with some pop to it.
TE: Gonzo and Zach Miller…nothing wrong here…Gonzo might be in Blue soon.
PK/Def/ST: Crosby, Melhaff, NYGinats, and the Miami Dolphins…good.
Overall: Good chance to crack the top3 despite the QB play.
Bryhamm
QB: Cutler, Rodgers, Collins…KC was a wasted pick but a nice duo otherwise.
RB: M.Forte, M.Turner, DeWill, Sproles and Duckett…good trio to lead things off.
WR: R.White, S.Moss, SinMoss, J.Gage(inj), L.Moore, Stokely, Stuckey…So So, but others have more firepower than what you have here.
TE: Fasano and Shiancoe…nothing wrong with this
Def/ST/PK: Carney, Longwell, Cleve, Indy, and Seattle…what an awful trio at Defense…and you grabbed 3 of them…very poor defenses IMO.
Overall: Not a bad team but there are lots of strong teams, I don’t see the final 3 potential here, sorry.
UnLucky
QB: Romo, Warner…you’re good, added Ryan for S&G did we?
RB: R.Brown, L.White, J.Jones, M.Bush, C.Perry, Kev Smith…not a bad bunch at all.
WR: Coles, Roy Williams, and…not much…you got guys on injuries and just simply have not produced to this point.
TE: Crumpler and Scaife…really? Same team, same bye week.
Def/ST/PK: Pack, Saints, K.Brown, and N.Folk
Overall: WR are going to be your undoing IMHO.
Aaron
QB: Eli, Kitna, and Cassel…I like Eli so it’s not bad, Eli will start most weeks.
RB: S.Jax, B.Jacobs, D.Ward, LeMac, LeButt…I like Jackson, solid small little group you have.
WR: R.Moss, W.Welker(Why both?), M.Jones, VJax(sneaky with the CC injury), M.Austin, D.Avery, Toomer…I don’t like the Pats play but this is not as bad as I wish it were.
TE: Miller and Watson…not going to win games with this duo, but that was not your intention. You’re hoping to not lose ground here basically.
PK/Def: Brown and Kaeding, Jets, Raiders, Texans…another trio of defenses I could live without.
Overall: Good strong team, good chance to compete for a spot.
Buck Naked (Put some clothes on!!!)
QB: Penny, Hass, and Garcia…weak
RB: MB III, MJD, Slaton, LJ, MoMo…good stuff
WR: Crayton, Driver, Engram, Gaffney, Galloway, Gonzalez, Stallworth, Wade…8 WR, you’re bound to score some points, although I don’t see that anchor that you need sometimes.
TE: Gates, KW II…very strong if Winslow comes around. Big point difference between Witten and Gates right now.
Def/PK: Scobee, Stover, Niners, and Vikes…Vikings have been underwhelming most of the season.
Overall: Middle of the pack?
LHucks (Pac-10 Rules!)…no he actually drafted using the rules of the Pac-10
QB: Philip Rivers and Kyle Orton…this has potential disaster written on it…but they have been doing pretty OK so far.
RB: Portis, Westbrook(No Bucky), JStew, Chester, Rudi…Good but not great. Westbrook has broken ribs and I have not seen anyone come back strong from broken ribs 2 weeks later…and you burned a middle 3rd on him when he went in the 5th the night before..and no Bucky to go with it…very risky.
WR: Burress, Branch, Harrison, Henderson, Holmes, Porter, and Rice…Not wild about this group, lot of injuries and gys that are in and out of the line up.
TE: Clark and Cooley…strong
Def/PK: Buff, Dallas, JAX, Suisham, and Reed…solid
Overall: Not gonna make the final 3 IMHO.
Clayton Gray(brother of Dorian Gray)
QB: B.Favre, MSchaub…I coveted them both before the draft, safe to say I think this is one fo the best tandems. No bye weeks, and easy schedules=Big Points.
RB: C.Johnson, S.Morris, M.Pittman, T.Hightower, R.Williams, K.Faulk…ought to be named the touchdown vultures.
WR: B.Marshall, A.Boldin(out for the next 2 weeks), K.Walter, Battle, Mark Clayton, Hixon, Llyod, J.Walker…got a feeling you don’t like this group a ton. You drafted 8 but I see a lot of holes. Battle, Clayton, Hixon, Lloyd(inj), and Walker are all pretty much miss and miss.
TE: Witten and Martin…Witten and almost anyone is going to conquer here.
Def/PK: Gostkowski, Mare, Washington and Baltimore…solid
Overall: Chance to make the top3 but I think the WR could become an issue.
RC-94
QB: Big Ben, JTO, Flacco, and Palmer…pretty strong, potential to blow up or blow out.
RB: Addai, Gore, J.Lewis, and J.Norwood…tight, small, like it.
WR: Bowe, K.Curtis, Hilliard, Jennings, Meachem, Ocho Stinko, M.Walker…Jennings and Bowe are pretty nice, the rest will fill in the outer parts.
TE: Scheffler(inj), Lee, Rosario…could be a problem.
Def/PK: Elam, Janikowski, Chicago and Arizona…OK
Overall: Not a bad team at all, will need some luck to break from the middle of the pack.
NittanyLion
QB: JeMarcus, Frerrotte, and O’Connell…I thought mine was shaky till I saw this clustersuck…WOW!!!
RB: Lynch, FJax, T.Jones…L.Washington, A.Hall…R.Torrain, W.Dunn…Cadillac? I kid but this is best ball, no need for everyone’s back up here…rather than burn 7 picks on 3 teams, spread it out.
WR: St Smith, Holt, Cotchery, Breaston, Muhammed, Reed, you managed to get 2 from Carolina…but I do like this little group.
TE: Owen Daniels, Dustin Keller, and Flopstein…you were good with Daniels and Keller
Def/PK: Prater, Kasay…Tennessee…only 1 defense and they still have a bye week…good luck.
Overall: Defense mistake will cost you a bunch.
Faletti McMichaels
QB: D.Brees, D.Garrard, Croyle…strong with Brees and Garrard
RB: Benson, Bradshaw, Fargas, Graham, Green, Edge…meh
WR: TO, Fitz, Berrian, Bruce, Brown, KRob…strong at the top
TE: LJ Smith, Royal, and Randy McMichael…hence the nickname he gave himself
Def/PK: Bironas, Gould, Carolina, Pittsburgh…nice
Overall: Not enough to make the final cut if I am being honest.
Yudkin, Aaron, and Clayton all have a good shot at making the cut…I also like Andy D somewhat too.
I’m sure it won’t end this way but the staff is looking pretty good.
Andy Dufresne
QB: P.Manning and D.McNabb…should not have a lot of problems, this looks like a strength to me, top3 at the position.
RB: ADP, McGahee, F.Taylor, Maroney, J.Charles…pretty strong group. I was high on McGahee because of the bye week being gone and the schedule is not too bad either…I think if you were going McGahee, perhaps LeMac made sense at some point.

Overall: Chance to make the top3 but I think the WR could become an issue.
RC-94
QB: Big Ben, JTO, Flacco, and Palmer…pretty strong, potential to blow up or blow out.
RB: Addai, Gore, J.Lewis, and J.Norwood…tight, small, like it.
WR: Bowe, K.Curtis, Hilliard, Jennings, Meachem, Ocho Stinko, M.Walker…Jennings and Bowe are pretty nice, the rest will fill in the outer parts.
TE: Scheffler(inj), Lee, Rosario…could be a problem.
Def/PK: Elam, Janikowski, Chicago and Arizona…OK
Overall: Not a bad team at all, will need some luck to break from the middle of the pack.
NittanyLion
QB: JeMarcus, Frerrotte, and O’Connell…I thought mine was shaky till I saw this clustersuck…WOW!!!
RB: Lynch, FJax, T.Jones…L.Washington, A.Hall…R.Torrain, W.Dunn…Cadillac? I kid but this is best ball, no need for everyone’s back up here…rather than burn 7 picks on 3 teams, spread it out.
WR: St Smith, Holt, Cotchery, Breaston, Muhammed, Reed, you managed to get 2 from Carolina…but I do like this little group.
TE: Owen Daniels, Dustin Keller, and Flopstein…you were good with Daniels and Keller
Def/PK: Prater, Kasay…Tennessee…only 1 defense and they still have a bye week…good luck.
Overall: Defense mistake will cost you a bunch.
Faletti McMichaels
QB: D.Brees, D.Garrard, Croyle…strong with Brees and Garrard
RB: Benson, Bradshaw, Fargas, Graham, Green, Edge…meh
WR: TO, Fitz, Berrian, Bruce, Brown, KRob…strong at the top
TE: LJ Smith, Royal, and Randy McMichael…hence the nickname he gave himself
Def/PK: Bironas, Gould, Carolina, Pittsburgh…nice
Overall: Not enough to make the final cut if I am being honest.
Yudkin, Aaron, and Clayton all have a good shot at making the cut…I also like Andy D somewhat too.
I’m sure it won’t end this way but the staff is looking pretty good.

Guess I should post mine too.
Anderson, Derek CLE QB - 5
Bulger, Marc STL QB - 5
Delhomme, Jake CAR QB - 9
Started with Delhomme in the 8th, wanted to grab Schaub but a certain someone grabbed him right before me...I still feel like Jake will be fine, Bulger and Anderson have had their bye weeks, and certainly their best days are ahead of them
Buckhalter, Correll PHI RB - 7
Jones, Felix DAL RB - 10
Parker, Willie PIT RB (P) - 6
Tomlinson, Ladainian SDC RB (P) - 9
LT at the 2.04...I just could not pass it up. Parker will be fine after the bye week, Felix was for my boy Pimpin, and Buckhalter is simply a great match up this week to give me LT, Bucky, and Felix all going this week.
Davis, Rashied CHI WR - 8
Evans, Lee BUF WR - 6
Jackson, Darrell DEN WR (P) - 8
Jackson, DeSean PHI WR - 7
Jenkins, Michael ATL WR - 7
Mason, Derrick BAL WR - 2
Wayne, Reggie IND WR - 4
I almost went Wayne and AJ in the 1st and 2nd, but ended up going Wayne then waiting...I liek Lee Evans, DeSean is going to still get the ball, Mason is a nice veteran for a WR4, Jenkins will start for now, and Rashied Davis is now seeing the ball.
Carlson, John SEA TE - 4
Miller, Billy NOS TE - 9
Olsen, Greg CHI TE - 8
Nothing sexy here
Bryant, Matt TBB PK - 10
Rackers, Neil ARI PK - 7
Buccaneers, Tampa Bay TBB Def - 10
Eagles, Philadelphia PHI Def - 7
Patriots, New England NEP Def - 4
I like 3 defenses, and I sure as heck like TB and Philly leading off, NE sees some easy teams too...I should be very strong on defense.
Overall: Good team not great, will need soem help if I am going to get any further in this thing...just being honest.

Same here in league 4, but while you were cheering, I was drinking. More and more...Not one of my better efforts, sorry to say.I
myself after the Penn State/Wisconsin distraction kicked off...
Here are the picks I made along with the spot each player went in the other 3 drafts.
5. RB Steven Jackson - 12, 2, 7
20. RB Brandon Jacobs - 17, 15, 20
32. WR Randy Moss - 24, 23, 19
42. WR Wes Welker - 44, 36, 29
56. QB Eli Manning - 10, 46, 47
65. RB Le'Ron McClain - 83, 75, 59
80. WR Vincent Jackson - 82, 93, 90
89. WR Matt Jones - 122, 95, 129
104. QB Matt Cassel - 92, 100, 101
113. WR Amani Toomer - 121, 101, 144
128. RB Derrick Ward - 143, 123, 155
137. TE Heath Miller - 153, 166, 152
152. WR Donnie Avery - 147, 113, 143
161. DEF NY Jets - 111, 167, 132

248. PK Josh Brown - 229, 265, Undrafted
257. DEF Raiders - 208, 231, 171
Looks like Randy Moss, Welker, and Eli were all pretty good values. I may have reached a bit on VJax, Matt Jones, H.Miller, B.Watson, and M.Austin. Huge range on Kitna but I was right in the middle on him.

I didn't really buy into the "pick lots of players who already had byes" theory. Maybe that will hurt me, and with no weekly eliminations I didn't think it was as critical as others did.
Campbell, Jason WAS QB - 10
Edwards, Trent BUF QB - 6
I would have been more concerned if this were a true Survivor league where people would get booted each week. So many lower tier guys got snagged way too early and I didn't love the options that were ever left.
Bush, Reggie NOS RB - 9
Grant, Ryan GBP RB - 8
Jackson, Brandon GBP RB - 8
McAllister, Deuce NOS RB - 9
McFadden, Darren OAK RB - 5
Moore, Mewelde PIT RB - 6
Bush should score each week and one of the other guys should be able to post a decent RB2 score and once in a while fill the flex spot.
Bryant, Antonio TBB WR - 10
Camarillo, Greg MIA WR - 4
Curry, Ronald OAK WR - 5
Hardy, James BUF WR - 6
Houshmandzadeh, T.J. CIN WR - 10
Johnson, Andre HOU WR - 2
Johnson, Calvin DET WR - 4
Washington, Nate PIT WR - 6
Even though they look good on papaer, the higher value guys all have ??? at QB, so I felt I needed more depth to make up for that.
Gonzalez, Tony KCC TE - 6
Miller, Zach OAK TE - 5
I'm still not sure if Gonzo moves to NYG if that helps him. Learning a new playbook, playing with a new QB cold, and having to share the wealth could hurt him.
Crosby, Mason GBP PK - 8
Mehlhaff, Taylor NOS PK - 9
They're kickers.
Dolphins, Miami MIA Def - 4
Giants, New York NYG Def - 4
They're defenses. At least they had byes already.
I haven't really looked at the other teams yet, so on first blush I would say this squad is all right. If Campbell stays productive I should be ok.

Good assessment of the teams. I agree with nearly all of it. The staff did a nice job overall.

Follow up to MoP's analysis of my team.QBs -- I feel real good about my top 2 guys. I had to get a 3rd QB for Week 8 because Rodgers and Cutler are both on a bye. I waited until late for this ... maybe too late.
RBs -- I like my group of guys here.
WRs -- My weakest area. I went with a lot of guys here in hopes of a few emerging each week.
TEs -- No elites, but a decent couple of guys
Ks -- I started the run here to try something different. Got 2 of the highest scoring Ks so far. We'll see if this was a shark move or a guppy move.
Ds -- I decided to try and wait until almost the end here and roll with 3 in hope that 1 can have a reasonable week each week. Again, will have to wait and see if this was a good move or a bad move.
Overall -- I would predict I would be in the 4 or 5 finishing spot and just out of the advance group. Maybe with a few breaks I can crack that 3rd spot.

Time to go thru some of the teams this week...
Buck Naked: (163.7) You and the rest of us felt the QB play would be a real challenge but you scored strong today and that is with limited points at the QB spot. MB III was amazing and his 11 receptions sure didn't hurt. MJD had a very strong game. Your WRs showed up although none of them really put it down. You still have Stallworth and KW II tomorrow night (-7.3)...very possible you add in a few more.
NittanyLion: (148.5) Again someone that has a lot of holes at the QB position and you still came away strong this week, very happy for you Nittany as I was hard on your draft IIRC. And with the Titans on a bye, you got no points form your defense...nothing final quite yet but you should finish on the plus sid of things this week.
David Yudkin: (144.7) David is yet another owner that I felt was going to possibly have some QB issues, still early in this thing but Yudkin has a nice showing this week. Bad news for us is that you had about 25%+ of your roster on a bye week this week. Not good...and when I highlight my team later on, that is going to be painful for some of the owners. AndreJohnson really threw it down today, nice game.
Bryhamm: (136.6) Roddy White, Aaron Rodgers, and Matt Forte really showed upw ell for you. Turner snd DeWill should show up for you more in the coming weeks I would think. RB2, PK, and TE were pretty invisible for you this week. Carney and the Browns set for tomorrow night, maybe you add a few more points to your total and leapfrog Yudkin and Nittany.
LHUCKS: (134.8) Rivers sure was nice this week. 16.8 from Akers...oh and you have Plax tomorrow night, I'm sure he will add more points for you, 10 minimum, again you might leapfrog a couple of folks ahead of you.
Clayton Gray (134.5) Unless Hixon gets involved tomorrow niht, looks like you are going to reamin here...might be looking at 5-6 or worse this week. Not many on bye weeks for you. What has to be discouraging is you got 17.5 from Sammy Morris, 15.5 form Pittman, 13 from Ricky Williams...I bet those 3 tars do not allign often like that. But you also have Chris Johnson off and Boldin who has been out.
Aaron: (127.5) Eli(-12) could vault you up some, you also have Jacobs(-7), and Toomer (-11.3)...you still have some fair room to move up, in fact you should move up. I would think top3 might be out of reach but you never know. You also have Ward if he were to go off...we might be having a different conversation about this tea tomorrow night. Good Luck Aaron
Faletti: (120.1) RB2 was a whiff, Bruce and Owens were big disappointments. No points form Carolina/Pittsburgh.
Andy Dufresne: (115.8) RB1 and RB2 were pretty mild, flex is pretty absent. You will add some more points tomorrow night, but I don't see a leap intot he top3 this week.
RC-94: (114.8) QB was pretty small, Addai hurt you, Bowe was on a bye, Ike Hilliard, D.Lee, and D.Rasario all made your starting rister this week...OUCH!!!
Unlucky: (101.6) Way to live up to your login...when 4 of your WR all bagel in the same week...not so good.
And finally...
Ministry of Pain: (162.3) I hope Derek Anderson(-9) shows up agianst the Giants so I can make a run at 11-0 this week...but I am very happy. I was scolded for taking Buckhalter as a potential 1 week hit but I knew I had bye week issues starting this week with parker and Lee Evans, both guy I took in 2 of my 1st 5 picks...I know you can't afford to go 2-9 out of the shoot. Bucky snared me 30, but guys like Rashied Davis and DeSean jackson combing for 30, a surprise 12 from Carlson, both the Bucs and Eagles were pretty strong today, LT and Reggie Wayne doing the dirty work...I feel good but I can't expect to get some of the surprise points I got today the rest of the way. I have a couple challenges next week as well but hopefully Parker and Evans can contribute right away.
Anyone else want to chime in on their team?

That's a fair assessment. QB: At the QB position, I took McNabb even though I had Manning because I know how people like to wait on QBs so I wanted to snipe a bit. I dub that strategy the "if he's on my team, he's not on yours" philosophy.
RB: I hated having the #1 spot and really didn't want to take AP, but I went with the homer pick. I wish I'd had the balls to take Bush first, but the return of Colston bothered me. I didn't like McGahee much either but the schedule was nice. The last two were the best I could do considering the state of the RB position in the NFL, which I consider extraordinary weak.
WR: The WR position was pretty much swing for the fences. I expect Edwards and Colston to bounce back from injury. I think Edwards' shoulder has really limited him. Hines Ward and ARE are hidden gems this year. The others each have a chance to blow up in any given week.
TE: TE's are hit or miss for me anyway. I don't like either Shockey or Heap, but at that point they were as good as any and Lewis has been getting more looks, scoring this weekend.
K: I wanted to take a 2nd kicker, but it didn't work out that way. And I mitigated that on purpose by taking a guy that had already had his bye.
DEF: The SD defense hasn't been great this year, but their schedule looked pretty favorable: NE, Buf, NO, bye, KC. They did well last night, I believe. The Saints game is a problem. The Broncos defense is soft, but their schedule was pretty good - best of any team left at that point in the draft: Jac, NE, bye, Mia, Cle.

MOP:
Thanks for the recap.
I thought your selection of Buckhalter was a very good pick. I would have gladly taken him ( but I already had overloaded RB's) where you did and taken one really strong week from a player. You never know about Westbrook, either. Those ribs could cause problems for several weeks.

I was thinking Eli would put it in the endzone and then I figured they would drive it down again...it was shaping up for a potential big 4th quarter and then the interception. Great thing is you get 4 more weeks of him, this is only 1 week, and some of these teams that went 10-1, 8-3, 11-0...are gonna turn right aroud and go 1-10, 3-8, 0-11...next week will be an entirely new story.
Unlucky
Phenom
In my defense, I had to auto-draft this team. I wasn't too pleased with the options for the draft times being Friday and Saturday nights when I was at a family wedding and thus not available to be online during the draft.
So, in trying to prepare a draft list, it proved to be quite a chore. Then, I had to tell the system which position to draft with each spot so that I'd end up with a balanced roster. Unfortunately, a few of the WRs that are injured (Chambers, Royal) ended up on my squad as I didn't adequately move them down.
Auto-drafting vs. good drafters = last place. I'm sorry I couldn't put up a better showing, but having someone else draft for me doesn't really do me any good, either.

Or better top end drafters....Pretty much all the same players were drafted sans maybe a dozen??? It's more a matter of how they were distributed and the luck of the actual on the field that impacts the results. Excluding the people that mailed it in and those who couldn't be bothered to understand the rules/format, there's not much separating the rest and luck is the biggest factor. For example, Schuab put up 10 or so points for me in the last minute. The Barber owner picked up 12-15 on a freak play. Heck, the teams with Arizona D picked up 6 because one of their guys was hurt on the last play of the game drawing an offsides penalty giving the Cowboys enough yards to kick a FG to send it into overtime...which also gave the Folk owners 5 or so extra points.

I don't see how the FBG could have done it any different really, but I respect your post, understand where you are coming from too.

Obviosuly the same players are going to get drafted league wide, it's the distribution that matters. As you mentioned, in a couple of the other leagues, some teams were "off" (not having a better word for it). That distorts the balance of power across the entire league.Also one week does not mean a whole lot in a 5-week race, so one week doesn't really tell us which teams are good and which teams aren't.However, I do agree that there were some weird NFL goings-on this week. I ended up 6-5, but if the usual Giants defense showed up I could have been 9-2 or so. So I lost the points they "usually" would score and allowed other owners to leapfrog me with the bounty of points scored by the Browns.Things should even out some along the way. Too soon for anyone to panic (maybe owners of Cowboys players shuold be concerned). Getting behind early certainly won't help any though.
