Actually Hook...
Well the DJax play was tied to my having McCoy (frankly I NEVER imagined that Jackson could make it that far back).....Bowe on the other hand.....just a question of whether I could have taken Bowe in the second and then Williams in the third? we will never know, but I like my first three picks as they worked out
Tampa Mike looked early to me
You could be right there Doug - but I really like what he did this year and his possibilities for 2011......still if I could have gone Bowe then Williams that would have been better...............but really SHUCKS needs the spot
I'm perplexed why you think the Wallace pick was too early and the DJax pick was so brilliant. Wallace > Djax in almost every way risk factor I can think.
Only trumped by the Brees pick. We were gonna take him in the 2nd but wanted to wait on a QB.
The blue was Pimpin, the green was me if that wasn't clear. I was scolded for using names of players not selected yet earlier but I promise you that BSS is laughing his tail off right now somewhere. A few other Fix folks likely got that joke, sorry if it wasn't clear.
Needless to say, I'd put my first three rounds up against anybody's.1.02 - Foster 2.15 - D-Jax3.02 - Bowe
I wouldn't disagree but I will say Weiss leaving could hurt Bowe next year. Love DJax working with Vick during the off season. Foster got his head coach back...very nice 1-2-3 punch.
I agree it's a great start - but it's just that
For me Foster and Bowe were the value picks. I have Foster in his own tier and as the easy #1 pick in this format. Bowe went at 2.02 in WSL2. D Jax went about where he should.

Gotta believe Romo is a better QB than Kitna. He reminded me of Randy Moss the way he got open and made circus catches. He couldn't be stopped in a less than ideal situation this year during this stretch. Witten and Austin will keep him from getting too much coverage. I also think he's suited well for a best ball league. There were other very solid WRs available, but Bryant was the only one I saw capable of elevating to the top tier. Bowe was another option, but Rivers is money at the 2/3 turn. I like keeping flexibility for later picks hence the RB/QB/WR start. The runs can happen and I can draft from a position of strength.Fiddles said:
meh...Gates was a steal where you got him. The guy pretty much carried my team in Ultimate Survivor thru round 1 and that was only 1.5 ppr.
Bowe certainly played like a second rounder for a good chunk of the season.
I thought Manningham would survive for another two rounds. Surprised that 3 NYG WRs went before some of the usual suspects on the board.Captain's mates so farQB - Peyton ManningRB - LeSean McCoyWR - Tampa Mike Williams, Santonio Holmes, Mario ManninghamLooks like a good start from here
Indeed...as long as you ignore the fact that you'll have to move on QB2 and TE2 early since they both share the same bye week.
Was about to post the same thing. Still, good value where you've selected all 5 imo. I considered Ryan over Roeth 19 picks ago.
A little bit more detail about 4.16/5.1My list included Rice, Harvin, Moss, Cooley, Mike Williams, and one other WR yet to be drafted. Cooley's recpts look enticing but the dropoff at WR was looming. I had Cooley higher than Gonzo or Davis. I was very tempted to go Rice/Harvin at the turn. This worked out well for me in 2010 (double dipping WRs from the same team). Ultimately the Minny QB situation scared me away from having two eggs in that basket. Harvin will get his numbers via recpt and some bonus rushing yards. Moss would have been a great value. I was shocked at how good he did last year when I went back to review his numbers. I think he'll post better numbers than Mike Williams, but Williams will have more TDs and more big scoreable weeks. With 20 rosters spots I feel like I can take more risk for upside in this format.
I was hoping to get Benn this year. I think he takes a big step up. I just wasn't expecting him to go in the 5th round.
I was shocked to see him go this early. Given Twilight's track record he'll probably break out.
dude we just turned the corner on a saturday and had like 10-12 picks. This pace is good
You are missing my point DougIn fact from early AM to know we just completed a full round which is good....BUT with the number of people who have BEEN here checking in and hoping to draft we could be well beyond that without some really unnecessary hangups due to lack of lists/pms/calls whatever
Like it much better when there are more potential picks on the list than picks until I'm up.
Who made the call here...Pimpin' or MinisterOfPlain?I think he was drafted right where he finished this year. I don't see much upside. Great player but the tread is thin.
Any chance Hines Ward plays it like Bettis if the Steelers win again?
Ouch...that would hurt.Personally I think he has a couple of good NFL years left in him and enjoys the game. He's not getting beat on like Bettis which should make things easier. Pitt is primed to compete for several years. Maybe he wants to numerosu rings. He's got two and next week could have three. Would 4 or 5 make him a HOF candidate?
