[Pictus Cat]

David Garrard--QB13--JAX

6.01 abrecher Eli Manning--QB14--NYG

Nice pair.

1.16 abrecher Ronnie Brown--RB14--MIA

2.01 abrecher Laurence Maroney--RB15--NEP

3.16 abrecher Darren McFadden--RB20--rookie

18.01 abrecher Brian Leonard--RB71--STL

As you mentioned, Brown may not be starting and worked back slowly.

Maroney doesn't seem like he can handle a full load to me.

McFadden is not ADP. Less talent, and situation could have a deep floor. Not a bad spot to get him though.

Brian Leonard is a backup, not RBBC.

Not liking this group.

4.01 abrecher Santonio Holmes--WR18--PIT

9.16 abrecher Bryant Johnson--WR54--ufa

10.01 abrecher Isaac Bruce--WR55--STL

11.16 abrecher Drew Carter--WR70--ufa

12.01 abrecher Michael Jenkins--WR71--ATL

13.16 abrecher Ernest Wilford--WR73--ufa

19.16 abrecher David Givens--WR94--TEN

20.01 abrecher Terry Glenn--WR95--DAL

I think you have a WR1 in Santonio. The rest is swinging for the fences or hoping to get last years production. 7 to fill WR 2 & 3 and with WR 2 numbers seems reasonable to me.

7.16 abrecher Zach Miller--TE13--OAK

8.01 abrecher Ben Watson--TE14--NE

Nice pair. Both have talent and I like their situations.

14.01 abrecher Shayne Graham--PK2--CIN

17.16 abrecher Matt Stover--PK19--BAL

15.16 abrecher Denver--DEF24

16.01 abrecher Detroit--DEF25

Solid. Stover was a value.

Overall, I think this team is solid except RB and WR. WR has reasonable depth to put up average numbers, but I wouldn't want to bet on that group of RBs. The 16 spot is hard, trying to stay ahead of runs and get value at the end of rounds without a top 1st round stud to anchor RBs. I think making your best guess at best case/worse case situations is as important as talent in the WSL.

I alway look forward to your comments on players and strategy. They are well thought out and informed. This just wasn't one of my favorite drafts for you.

[ShadowPhunk]

I don't think I've gone H2H with abrecher before, and he has a solid track record, but this WR corp is just full of holes.

In a PPR league, I think you ignored it way to long - the 2 TE grab is baffling based on who you had at WR at the time.

4.01 abrecher Santonio Holmes--WR18--PIT

9.16 abrecher Bryant Johnson--WR54--ufa

10.01 abrecher Isaac Bruce--WR55--STL

11.16 abrecher Drew Carter--WR70--ufa

12.01 abrecher Michael Jenkins--WR71--ATL

13.16 abrecher Ernest Wilford--WR73--ufa

19.16 abrecher David Givens--WR94--TEN

20.01 abrecher Terry Glenn--WR95--DAL

I'm from PIT, so I hope Santonio goes big, but production wise, he is the WR2 in PIT to Ward on many a game plan.

3 UFAs - WR switching teams is risky.

Johnson has UFA potential, but he will need to adjust to a new O.

Bruce is ancient.

Carter, Jenkins, and Wilford have all underachieved to date. Nothing there excites me for 2008.

Givens hasn't produced since 2005 and had a 3rd knee surgery. Glenn needs (or just had) another operation as well. Neither of these 2 may see the field in 2008.

I don't see this working out at all for you.

[CommuterMan]

Commuterman

3.01 Tony Romo--QB3--DAL

6.16 Jason Campbell--QB20--WAS

Solid combination of good young QBs in the NFC that should continue to produce... Would consider this pair a top 5 in WSL3

1.01 LT2--RB1--SD

4.16 Kevin Jones--RB 27--DET

9.01 Rashard Mendenhall--RB40--???

10.16 Michael Bush--RB49--OAK

14.16 Kenton Keith--RB62--IND

15.01 Kolby Smith--RB63--KC

#1 is a given for another year (until AD proves he is immune from the sophmore slump... ) I probably reached a little for KJ but if he returns for next season he should be a solid #2 RB. The rest is potential and backup support. Getting Keith and Smith is hugh in my opinion for two starters who have yet to carry the load for an entire season.

2.16 Marques Colston--WR11--NOS

5.01 Lee Evans--WR27--BUF

7.01 Laveranues Coles--WR32--NYJ

11.01 Laurent Robinson--WR63--ATL

16.16 Matt Jones--WR83--JAX

17.01 Andre Davis--WR84--HOU

20.16 James Hardy--WR100--Rookie

Nothing sepectacular but a solid 3 WRs in Colston, Evans and Coles who will put up respectable #'s each week. All three offenses should be better next year over last year's production.

8.16 Greg Olson--TE17--CHI

13.01 Alex Smith--TE24--TB

Left the TE position until other roster spots were filled. Both TEs are young and a part of teams not known for their explosive offenses and these guys could become solid contributers as outlets to their respective QBs

18.16 Martin Gramatica--PK30--NO

19.01 Justin Medlock--PK31--STL

12.16 Green Bay--DEF10

As discussed in the drafting thread... I left the K situation until late in the game. Most of the kickers who are assured of their spots were drafted quickly starting in round 14 (too early in my opinion). For six or seven teams the kicking situation is not so clear cut and the guy kicking last year may not be the kicker next year. To that end I gambled and picked up two kickers who will be competing for the kicking job. Determining who will will those competitions is easier than picking lottery numbers but not as much fun... If one or both of these kickers pan out the all the better for me. If both are a bust then my performance will suffer for that.

All in all picking at the #1 & 32 spot and waiting until 31 other players to be drafted between those two picks is difficult to time runs and think who might fall another 31 spots to be available the next time I was up to draft.

 

[AB in DC]

3 UFAs - WR switching teams is risky.

Of course -- I never claimed that I was avoiding risk in this draft. Just the opposite.

Carter, Jenkins, and Wilford have all underachieved to date.

You say "underachieved", I say "potential for improvement". Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

Givens hasn't produced since 2005 and had a 3rd knee surgery. Glenn needs (or just had) another operation as well. Neither of these 2 may see the field in 2008.

But if they do, they could produce big numbers. Whereas other WRs taken that late will certainly see the field, but almost certainly won't produce big numbers.It sounds like your disagreement is with the strategy itself (take lots of high-risk, high-upside players) than with the picks themselves. Is that a fair statement?

That would be fair - I'm more of a low risk drafter. I QA software systems for a living so risk mitigation is kinda my life.

 

[AB in DC]

If I were drafting from the 6 slot, I might be a low risk drafter too...

Reggie, PPR huh, I am the biggest NO fan, ask BSS, but Reggie is no answer.....u ask me, u picked him a lil too early. PPR, combined yards, I like Reggie because every game a defense must prepare for him to run, catch and return and the main running back. If a defense is weak in any area, he can exploit it. I stole Rudi late BTW Is that a JC guarantee?

You say a landslide in WR, you have Fitz, GREAT, but if you think Cotchery and Mason are better then Welker,

can you join my money leagues

I humbly, submit myself for your teaching...

QB, too close to call.....

[Nugget]

Nugget

5.08 Matt Hasslebeck--QB10--SEA

8.09 Jamarcus Russell--QB24--OAK

20.09 Gus Ferotte--QB39--STL

I'm happy with my QB's. I think Alexander is done in Seattle, and I like the way the offense opened up late in the season. With the WR talent for the Hawks and possibly a rook RB, the burden will be placed , for better or worse, on Hasslebeck's arm. Jamarcus is going to be the starter this season, and he'll air it out. I'd hate to start him in a H2H format, but best ball he is the John Daley of the QB's. Gus is grasping at straws, but Bulger always seems to be aching.

1.08 Frank Gore--RB7--SF

6.09 Jerious Norwood--RB33--ATL

7.08 Chester Taylor--RB36--MIN

12.09 Michael Pittman--RB54--TB ?

I'm not thrilled with my RB's, but they are serviceable. Gore is in a non RBBC situation who can catch the ball out of the backfield. Not a top tier back, but solid 2 tier RB1. Norwood should get more carries as Dunn looks like he is finally washed up. I've been a huge Dunn fan, but the writing is on the wall. I don't see Atlanta spending a top 5 pick on a RB, so I think Norwood will see 50%+ of the carries. ADP is the man in MInnesota, but he'll be spelled by Taylor who was very effective last season. 5-10 pts a week is all I'm looking for here. Pittman seems to get points out of nowhere, hopefully he'll return to TB but he is still a great 3rd back. RB's are not a huge deal in this format, due to the early nature of the draft and 16 teams. We will all be thin and no one can pick up the waiver wire wonders like Grant or Graham.

2.09 TJ Houshmanzadeh--WR4--CIN

4.09 Calvin Johnson--WR20--DET

9.08 Donte Stallworth--WR48--NEP

10.09 David Patten--WR60--NOS

11.08 James Jones--WR66--GBP

17.08 Brad Smith--WR85--NYJ

19.08 Johnnie Lee Higgins--WR91--OAK

Once again, WR by committee. You can't have too many. Housh is a nice anchor for the group. Calvin should build on last years success and beat the injury bug, plus I'm a GT homer. Stallworth should be a highly sought after free agent not having to share with Moss and Welker any longer. Patten is a flyer, depending on if someone steps up in NO. Jones, Smith, Higgins are flyers who have potential to make impacts as #3 recievers on their team. If they can count 2x next season, they were worth it.

3.08 Tony Gonzalez--TE4--KCC

18.09 Fred Davis--TE30--???

Gonzalez is a stud TE. In this format, he finsihed only behind Witten last season. Fred Davis is a blue chip prospect coming from a pro style offense. I expcect him to contribute nicely 2nd half of the season.

14.09 Adam Vinateri--PK4--IND

16.09 Jason Hanson--PK14--DET

I hit the K's early as the sleepers I wanted would still be available late. Two dome Kickers, one on a potent offense and one on an offense that stalls in the redzone. Both will work.



13.08 New York Giants--DEF13

15.08 Kansas City--DEF23

I like both teams defensive line and pass rush ability going into 2008. Osi/Tuck and Allen/Hali should gets sacks and create pressure that leads to turnovers. Both outdoor defenses that could cause problems in the winter months.

Overall, this team is not glarmous. Very blue collar and fairly solid. I like my odds not to be last for at least 8 weeks, then I need a sleeper or two to hit to win it all.

Close

Verdict: Not you

Did you say maybe lose for TE, C'mon, that is joke, You have me big in WR and thats it, don't forget PPR for TE is bigger then WR so that value is HUUUUUUUUUGE, now go reevaluateBest ball down?

Hey Pictus, Non one picked the NYG either, how did that pan out

I took the points

How do u say you huge in RB, Reggie is goin to be a bust, heck he already is, you have fitz AND THATS IT

PPR

Bulger and A. Smith, can they even stay healthy and i think both of my QB's made the playoffs, urs?

Best ball

SD def is a mile ahead of everyone else, you might have me at kicker, good draftin there

Do you think they will outscore the 06 Bears?

lay off the crack

I wouldn't give my money to perverts and criminals (rapist, terrorist....)

Dude, bottom line is, very very few TE's can compete with Gates and you have NONE of them, so TE is all me now and in septemberBB

Reggie, PPR huh, I am the biggest NO fan, ask BSS, but Reggie is no answer.....u ask me, u picked him a lil too early. PPR, combined yards, I like Reggie because every game a defense must prepare for him to run, catch and return and the main running back. If a defense is weak in any area, he can exploit it. I stole Rudi late BTW Is that a JC guarantee?

You say a landslide in WR, you have Fitz, GREAT, but if you think Cotchery and Mason are better then Welker,

can you join my money leagues

I humbly, submit myself for your teaching...

QB, too close to call.....

Def, who cares about the 06 bears, I care about this year, so there goes that stupid argument.........They were worth a high pick that year because they seperated themselves from all the other fantasy defenses

You only have me for sure in kicker, i'm startin to quetion your football knowledge No...You...Didn't. now that you bring past years defenses into this years arguments, who cares about the past, lol

I dont know why you guys are arguing, you both are going to lose to me. How?

How? The only position you have me beat is at TE, if that.

 

[Pictus Cat]

Brutis, I like your team. Why not break it down?

You did a good job mitigating byes (unlike that other guy who's toast if Pitt & SD has the same bye)

QB & TE depth are the team's weakness, but if you had to pick a weakness...not a bad one.

WR Wayne and the rest with upside are nice

RB Should work plus some flyers

PKDST 2 each

 

[Brutis]

Brutis

3.10 Carson Palmer--QB5--CIN

17.10 John Beck--QB34--MIA

19.10 Cleo Lemon--QB37--MIA

Obviously riding Palmer the entire year. Cleo and Beck should be able to fill in a week during Palmers bye. I dont see a rookie coming in and starting over either of these guys. My only fear is a vet coming in. I think the Dolphins want to see what they have with these guys before going after a QB for the future.

1.10 Marion Barber--RB9--DAL

4.07 Earnest Graham--RB23--TB

6.07 Ammad Bradshaw--RB32--NYG

7.10 Cedric Benson--RB37--CHI

13.10 Garrett Wolfe--RB57--CHI

I like my rb's. I dont see Caddy as a factor for Tampa this year and Graham was suprising consistant and proved he could carry the load. I think I have some decent backups in Bradshaw and Benson just in case. I think Benson will be the starter again this year, I just hope the Bears can upgrade that pathetic O line that they have. Bradshaw I dont believe will take over for Jacobs, Jacobs proved to be very good the games he played but I think he can get 10 carries a game and the majority if Jacobs misses anytime with injuries.

2.07 Reggie Wayne--WR3--IND

5.10 Chris Chambers--WR28--SD

9.10 Sydney Rice--WR49--MIN

10.07 Steve Smith--WR59--NYG

11.10 Devin Hester--WR68--CHI

15.10 Robert Meachum--WR78--NO

Nothing spectacular outside of Wayne. Chambers looked like he was getting comfortable with the offense late in the year. I see him continuing this next year so he should be a borderline #2 wr. Taking some chances with Rice, Hester and Meachum to fill out the #3 spot. Definitely good news for Hester with Muhsin getting cut and Berrian on his way out as well. Hester was used quite a bit at the end of the year for the Bears so I'm believing they have plans for this guy. Rice and Meachum have plenty of upside, hoping one of them works out for me. Steve Smith was coming on late in the year for Eli. Hard to say how much Toomer has left but I would think/and hope the giants want to have Smith as a bigger part of the offense.

8.07 Donald Lee--TE15--GB

20.07 Ben Utecht--TE33--IND

Lee was a pretty good TE for favre, happy to have him as my starter. Utecht was just a flyer since no other #2 TE's were available. Need a Clark injury to really take advantage of this but im not counting on it. TE's are so inconsistant anyways i can live with Lee

16.07 David Akers--PK12--PHI

18.07 Joe Nedney--PK25--SF

12.07 Minnesota--DEF4

14.07 Washington--DEF18

Not a bad group for Kickers and Defenses by looking at what everyone else has.

My only fear with this team is a palmer injury early in the year. If he can stay healthy I should be competative.

Picking out of the 10 spot in a 16 team league Im pretty happy with this team.

 

[Domination]

Domination

1.05 Tom Brady--QB1--NE

15.05 Matt Ryan--QB32--???

20.12 Chad Pennington--QB41--NYJ(?)

While I do not think that Brady will have another year like this past, I do think that I will get solid and consistant production out of him. I missed the run on #2 QBs, so hoping one of the other 2 will be able to fill in. Grade-B (possible A if backup come to be)

4.12 Jonathan Stewart--RB25--???

6.12 Duece McAllister--RB34--NO

10.12 Felix Jones--RB47--???

12.12 Ray Rice--RB55--???

16.12 Jamaal Charles--RB68--???

I expect most will not like my RBs, but that is ok with me. I look at most of the successful teams and they have not had great RB corps. A quick explanation would be that I thought the potential of the solid class of rookie RBs was higher than taking the safer approach with going with backup vets. I expect Duece & Stewart to give me #2 RB numbers, and hopefully one of the others will land in a good spot to give me some production. Either way it has been proven that you can get by with poor RB production. Grade- C (Lots of potential for improvement)

2.12 Steve Smith--WR7--CAR

3.05 Anquan Boldin--WR13--ARZ

5.05 Dwayne Bowe--WR26--KCC

7.05 Bernard Berrian--WR35--CHI

11.05 Drew Bennett--WR64--STL

19.05 Brandon Jones--WR90--TEN

I think that this is definitely the strength of my team. I would put my top 4 up against anyone else in the league, and believe that they will give me good production every week and negate the weekness at RB. Grade- A

8.12 Alge Crumpler--TE16--ATL

9.05 LJ Smith--TE18--PHI

I loved this combo, especially this late. Smith has been a Top 10 TE before the injuries last year, and I believe will return to form with the Eagles this year. Crumpler is a solid TE and I expect good production from him no matter where he goes. Grade- B

14.12 Nate Kaeding--PK6--SD

18.12 John Kasay--PK28--CAR

13.05 Philadelphia--DEF11

17.05 New York Jets--DEF27

2 kickers and defenses should give me consistant production. Grade- B

Overall- I decided early in the draft that this was the stradegy I was going with, and pretty much stuck to it. I am happy with this team and think that they will be able to hang around for a while, but I understand that there are alot of ???. I expect after the draft and as the year goes along, my team will be viewed as one of the strongest. Grade- B

 

[Pictus Cat]

Commuterman

3.01 Tony Romo--QB3--DAL

6.16 Jason Campbell--QB20--WAS

Solid combination of good young QBs in the NFC that should continue to produce... Would consider this pair a top 5 in WSL3

1.01 LT2--RB1--SD

4.16 Kevin Jones--RB 27--DET

9.01 Rashard Mendenhall--RB40--???

10.16 Michael Bush--RB49--OAK

14.16 Kenton Keith--RB62--IND

15.01 Kolby Smith--RB63--KC

#1 is a given for another year (until AD proves he is immune from the sophmore slump... ) I probably reached a little for KJ but if he returns for next season he should be a solid #2 RB. The rest is potential and backup support. Getting Keith and Smith is hugh in my opinion for two starters who have yet to carry the load for an entire season.

2.16 Marques Colston--WR11--NOS

5.01 Lee Evans--WR27--BUF

7.01 Laveranues Coles--WR32--NYJ

11.01 Laurent Robinson--WR63--ATL

16.16 Matt Jones--WR83--JAX

17.01 Andre Davis--WR84--HOU

Nothing sepectacular but a solid 3 WRs in Colston, Evans and Coles who will put up respectable #'s each week. All three offenses should be better next year over last year's production.

8.16 Greg Olson--TE17--CHI

13.01 Alex Smith--TE24--TB

Left the TE position until other roster spots were filled. Both TEs are young and a part of teams not known for their explosive offenses and these guys could become solid contributers as outlets to their respective QBs

18.16 Martin Gramatica--PK30--NO

19.01 Justin Medlock--PK31--STL

12.16 Green Bay--DEF10

As discussed in the drafting thread... I left the K situation until late in the game. Most of the kickers who are assured of their spots were drafted quickly starting in round 14 (too early in my opinion). For six or seven teams the kicking situation is not so clear cut and the guy kicking last year may not be the kicker next year. To that end I gambled and picked up two kickers who will be competing for the kicking job. Determining who will will those competitions is easier than picking lottery numbers but not as much fun... If one or both of these kickers pan out the all the better for me. If both are a bust then my performance will suffer for that.

All in all picking at the #1 & 32 spot and waiting until 31 other players to be drafted between those two picks is difficult to time runs and think who might fall another 31 spots to be available the next time I was up to draft.

QB Very good 2RB LT and lots of sticky stuff to the wall, Like the Keith pick

WR Risky depth behind Coles & Evans

TE Olsen should be top 16

PK Hope you have one

DEF GB is solid, maybe 2 would be good.

Runs are difficult at the ends, but sometimes a small reach is necessary mitigate them.

 

[Pictus Cat]

5.07 Marc Bulger--QB9--STL Concussion Boy and Pace hopefully come back healthy and return to form. Solid in the past when not penalized for INT or sacks. Long as a consensus mock 2nd overall selection could help

8.10 Alex Smith--QB25--SF Extended w/big $$$/Backup Hill signed, Weapons added: Bruce & Bryant Johnson Maybe some Martz magic will make a boom pick in his sink or swim situation.

20.10 Daunte Culpepper--QB40--OAK/??? Flyer to mitigate possible injury

32 starting QB's start the season...

1.07 Reggie Bush--RB6--NOS PPR

3.07 Jamal Lewis--RB18--CLE Signed Age 28, powerful offense, 2007 good performance.

10.10 Sammy Morris--RB45--NE Weather has been cited as a NE running game factor, but this guy was sweet in the heat...

19.03 Jesse Chatman--RB73--MIA NYJ Why would he sign a one year there if he was not promised an opportunity? Faneca signed Parcells likes him and has history with RBBC & Brown is recovering

2 solid, if unspectalular, 2 RBBC w/ upside.

2.10 Larry Fitzgerald--WR5--ARZ Will he be in Zona? Yep

4.10 Jerricho Cotchery--WR21--NYJ IMHO, talented as Gates. Faneca

7.07 Derrick Mason--WR36--BAL Lots of receptions with multiple QBs.

9.07 Jerry Porter--WR47--OAK JAX Leaving OAK helped Moss.. Porter has talent, the situation will have more time to gel.

15.07 Derek Hagan--WR77--MIA Ernest Wilford signed, Incoming competition may burn me, but Parcells & DHag's former coach's immaturity comments should spark a growth spurt.

16.10 Dwayne Jarrett--WR80--CAR Moose, Hackett added Should be WR opposite Steve Smith next year, has a year to pick it up

Good group, average depth My WR are taking a hit from Free Agency

6.10 Jeremy Shockey--TE10--NYG I beleive he matures, becomes a team player, and still gets his.

11.07 Randy McMichael--TE20--STL Bulger & Pace healthy, Bruce leaves He did, McWifeBeater could see an uptick in #s.

12.10 Leonard Pope--TE23--ARZ Fitz(stayed), BJ(went to SF) may leave, Pope improving (BJ's ops now?)

Hope 3 TE gets consistant #s.

14.10 Nick Folk--PK5--DAL Solid, little early. In case of kicker run, wanted to have on starter with a shot at two. Had multiple guys in mind for other positions I expect to fall.

17.07 Shaun Suisham--PK17--WAS

Two for consistency

13.07 Indianapolis Colts--DEF12 Freeney is back and I think the whole team has a something to prove chip on their shoulder attitude more than normal

18.10 New Orleans--DEF31 The defense will be the focus of the off-season for aquisitions. Reggie's on my team twice now. Know what else I think is great about DEF 31. Not much downside for value.

Indy & NO offense should create some must pass situations for the defense to pin thier ears back on.

May comments when I reached:

Round 7 I have my starters and have taken my chances on what's available. Risky team at each position so far IMHO.

Round 14 Each position filled, TE done, depth time.

Final team comment:

I think each position should put up consistent #'s and get me through most weeks.

I will to comment on teams that do a self evaluation eventually. I'm not much of a stats guy or a timely and accurate football news guy. I come more from an effort to understand the game of football and people(football people and fantasy drafters,) for what that's worth. Strategy is also a focus for me.

Comments welcome, good and especially critical.

I enjoyed drafting with you all. I appreciate the help, entertainment, and football knowledge. Good luck (in your other leagues.)

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

6.14 Vince Young--QB19--TEN

7.03 Jon Kitna--QB21--DET

Probably the weakness of my team. I think I will be ok. Each was undervalued where I took them. This grades to probably a B- or a C.

1.03 Steven Jackson--RB3--STL

9.03 Selvin Young--RB41--DEN

10.14 DeShaun Foster--RB48--CAR

11.03 Leon Washington--RB51--NYJ

12.14 Lorenzo Booker--RB56--MIA

20.14 Correll Buckhalter --RB --PHI

I love SJax this year and I think I will be good at RB2. I took a bunch of PPR RBs. Grade B or B+.

2.14 Torry Holt--WR9--STL

3.03 Plaxico Burress--WR12--NYG

4.14 Roddy White--WR24--ATL

8.14 Ronald Curry--WR45--OAK

18.14 Demetrius Williams--WR87--Bal

19.03 Jabar Gaffney--WR89--NE

I love this group. I know not everyone likes Holt and Plax, but I like the consistent veterans. Grade is an A.

5.03 Todd Heap--TE7--BAL

13.03 Bo Scaife--TE26--TEN

Two good TEs, just need Heap to stay healthy, for a change. Grade B+.

16.14 Kris Brown--PK15--HOU

17.03 Jason Elam--PK16--DEN

14.14 Buffalo--DEF19

15.03 Oakland--DEF20

Two decent kickers and defenses.

I like this team. I think it has a legit chance to go fairly far, but it is tough to tell now before free agency. Good luck to everyone.

3.02 Drew Brees--QB4--NOS

9.02 Trent Edwards--QB27--BUF

19.02 JP Losman--QB35--BUF

Brees was outstanding in some games last season, not very good in a lot of the others. Having a healthy Reggie and Deuce should help open up the offense. The Edwards/Losman pair should be fine as a backup QB.

1.02 Adrian Peterson--RB2--MIN

5.02 DeAngelo Williams--RB26--CAR

8.15 Julius Jones--RB43--DAL

11.02 Kevin Faulk--RB50--NEP

16.15 TJ Duckett--RB69--DET

This is probably the most I've ever waited to get my 2nd RB, I usually have 2 in the first 3 rounds at least. The news of Carolina shopping Foster should be good for me. If Julius stays in Dallas I think he will continue to get a lot of carries while sharing the ball with Barber, if Julius leaves I think he's shown enough and is young enough to end up in a good position with another team. Faulk and Duckett are mostly role players but are capable of producing a good game every now and then.

2.15 Braylon Edwards--WR10--CLE

4.15 Donald Driver--WR25--GBP

7.02 Kevin Curtis--WR33--PHI

10.15 Shaun McDonald--WR62--DET

14.15 Jacoby Jones--WR76--HOU

18.15 Jason Hill--WR88--SF

I think my starting 3 are pretty good, especially if Driver can get into the end zone a little more often next year. I'm not crazy about my McDonald pick, I think I must have been in a hurry making that pick or something. I think Jones and Hill both have chances to become bigger parts of their respective offenses and I think they both make good sleeper picks. It would have been nice to have a little more depth but I can live with only having 6.

6.15 Owen Daniels--TE11--HOU

13.02 Mercedes Lewis--TE25--JAX

Solid, if not necessarily exciting TE combo. Daniels seemed to have a good rapport with Schaub. I still believe Lewis has talent and hopefully with the WR mess in Jacksonville Garrard will find him as a reliable target.

15.02 Josh Brown--PK8--SEA

20.15 Olindo Mare--PK32--NO

I got one good kicker at least. The kicker run went a lot deeper than I thought it would, I thought there would be 1 or 2 reliable kickers left for me at my 18th pick. Mare says he'll be back for training camp so I guess its worth it to me to gamble my 20th pick on him.

12.15 Baltimore--DEF9

17.02 Carolina--DEF26

Both have been great defenses in the past but are starting to show some of their age. Hopefully some of their recent problems can be addressed in the draft or free agency.

1.11 Peyton Manning--QB2--IND

12.06 Rex Grossman--QB30--CHI

I was set for Barber to fall to me, but when Brutis took him one pick before me in the first round, I did not like the other RBs on the board as much. So, I either select a RB I wouldn't be too happy with, or I take one of the top QBs in the game. Manning is never hurt and always good for a couple of TDs a game. Since Manning will score for me at 14 out of 17 times this year, I let the QB2 slide. When it was apparent that only Grossman was the last viable starting QB, I took him. If I didn't take Rex, I don't know if I would taken another QB until the 19th or 20th round. Sidenote: I have both starting SuperBowl QBs of 2007.

Grade: A

2.06 Maurice Jones Drew--RB17--JAX

4.06 Michael Turner--RB22--SD/Ufa

10.06 Justin Fargas--RB44--OAK

11.11 Ahman Green--RB52--HOU

16.06 Darren Sproles--RB67--SD

I got the the RB I coveted in the 2nd, when I took a QB in the 1st. I was thinking about MJD at the #11 overall spot and was happy to get him at #22 overall. The guy is a touchdown machine. Even though he is in a RBBC, he's the guy who catches the rock which is huge in a PPR. Turner has to get out of SD and into a great situation for him to produce. Again, another RB with soft hands. I'm okay with these two as my starters. I was happy to hear that Oakland resigned Fargas to a decent contract and as of now is penciled in as the starting RB in Oakland. If that continues, Fargas was highway robbery in the tenth round. AGreen was a flier and more RB protection. He's a wait and see what happens guy. Sproles in the 16th, was just good value. Should be LT's backup, change of pace back. If anything happens to LT, Sproles' value skyrockets.

Grade: B+

3.11 Greg Jennings--WR16--GB

6.06 DJ Hackett--WR30--SEA/UFA

7.11 Deion Branch--WR38--SEA

8.06 Reggie Brown--WR43--PHI

9.11 Arnaz Battle--WR50--SF

20.06 Chad Jackson--WR99--NE

Jennings is not my ideal #1 WR, but at that point he was the best on board. If can continue to improve and stay healthy, I'll be fine. Another young WR with talent, Hackett also has to show that he can stay healthy. Some team is going to pay him good money to be their #1 or #2 in 2008. JP ripped my selection of Branch, but if Branch only misses 3 games, I'm okay. Brown and Battle are more than decent #4 and #5 guys. I would have liked a stronger #6, but we'll see how Jackson pans out. In round 20, I'll take a guy who may be a boom or bust guy.

Grade= B-

5.11 Vernon Davis--TE8--SF

17.11 Kevin Boss--TE29--NYG

19.11 Daniel Graham--TE32--DEN

Vernon Davis is another boom or bust guy. I sure have a few injury prone guys on my team. Hopefully he can produce like the high 1st rounder he was selected at. I would have liked to have backed him up with a decent backup, but when some of the middle TEs were being selected too high for my liking, I backed off and knew I would be able to get the two guys I coveted towards the end of the draft. Boss is either huge value or a wasted pick, depending on whether Shockey is moved/stays heathly, but Boss showed in the playoffs that he capable of nice things if called upon. I selected Graham in the 11th or 12th last year with high hopes that didn't pan out. Denver sure wasted a lot of dough on Graham and Henry last year. Scheffler is better, but Graham has a high price tag and should be given an opportunity to compete against Scheffler for time.

Grade= C+

15.11 Neil Rackers--PK9--ARZ

18.06 Sebastian Janikowski--PK24--OAK

Two kickers with secure jobs.

Grade= B

13.11 Houston Texans---DEF15

14.06 Cleveland--DEF17

I didn't reach for a defense like the rookie mistake I did last year. The draft value wasn't there to where I selected them when I made sure I had Chicago last season. Instead I went with value selections. Back to back defenses in the middle, the selections being two teams on the rise. Hopefully, Cribbs takes a few to the house for the Browns this year.

Grade= B

I tried to take value whenever I could. I not going to claim if I'm going to be a survivor or not. I just tried to build the most balanced team with depth that I could. Now, it's about luck. I don't know if I would have changed anything about my draft, and I feel pretty good about my chances. I finished 3rd, I believe, in last's year's WSL. So, hopefully I do even better this year.

6.11 Kurt Warner--QB18--ARZ

8.11 Tavaris Jackson--QB26--MIN

This could go either way. Warner showed last year he can still produce an win. If he leads 'Zona I love him. If he gets another starting gig - I'm OK. If he backs up Lienart I'll get squat. TJax will get me some scramble points and TDs and hopefully he improves in his 2nd year.

1.06 Joseph Addai--RB5--IND

5.06 Shaun Alexander--RB28--SEA

7.06 Travis Henry--RB35--DEN

10.11 Maurice Morris--RB46--SEA

14.11 Chris Brown--RB61--TEN/UFA

20.11 Tatum Bell--RB77--DET/???

For a 16 team league - I feel pretty happy here. Addai is a 3 down back stad and the rest are plenty to produce strong RB2 numbers each week. There are some situation questions in February, but they all have produced at the pro level and someone here should stick.

2.11 Chad Johnson--WR6--CIN

3.06 Marvin Harrison--WR14--IND

4.11 Santana Moss--WR22--WAS

9.06 Ted Ginn Jr.--WR46--MIA

11.06 Joe Jurevicius--WR65--CLE

16.11 Dennis Northcutt--WR81--JAX

I'm giddy with my 3 WR1 in CJ, harrison, and Smoss. Ginn COULD lead Miami in targets next year. Joe J and Northcutt are productive vets who wil see @80 targets each. SOLID!

17.06 Visanthe Shiancoe--TE28--MIN

19.06 David Martin--TE31--MIA

Ugly - but capable of giving me the occational TD and a few catches each week. Martin could sleep in the new Miami O, as he was their most consistant player in the dreaded 1-15 season.

13.06 Stephen Gostkowski--PK1--NE

18.11 Mike Nugent--PK26--NYJ

Solid. Nugent was a huge value at PK26 in the 18th (finished 17th the last 2 years).

12.11 Pittsburgh--DEF7

15.06 Arizona--DEF22

Blitzberg and blitzberg light!

Overall, it is hard for me to feel warm and fuzzy with the big ? at the QB position. Still if my core RBs and WRs produce as I think they will, I should be solid each week and tough to knock off. If I get 2007 production out of Warner I think I could challenge for the top spot. Can't wait for week 1!

 

[AB in DC]

Shadow -- I think it will be tough for you to compete with glaring weaknesses at both QB and TE. If Marvin Harrison is slow to return, as has been rumored, you could be headed for an early exit.

I think you would have been better served with only 4 or 5 RB, using an extra pick on QB and/or TE. For example, even if Joey Harrington only starts 6-8 games in Atlanta, he'd still do more for your team than Tatum Bell.

The TE hole doesn't bother me as much as the QB questions do.I planned on a sleeper QB or TE, but a bunch of my targets went late. CPep, Lemon, Graham, and Utecht to name a few......I don't think I'll go out early, but I'll need to hit on some things to make it into the 2nd half.

 

[AB in DC]

Still, for talking about being a low-risk drafter, your team looks a lot more risky than mine. You're basically screwed if:

- Harrison doesn't return immediately;

- Chad Johnson holds out; and

- Leinart regains the starting job over Warner.

There's a realistic chance that any of these will occur. I'd bet that if just two of these three happen, you'll be gone before September is out.

3.06 Marvin Harrison--WR14--IND

4.11 Santana Moss--WR22--WAS

9.06 Ted Ginn Jr.--WR46--MIA

11.06 Joe Jurevicius--WR65--CLE

16.11 Dennis Northcutt--WR81--JAX

I'm giddy with my 3 WR1 in CJ, harrison, and Smoss. Ginn COULD lead Miami in targets next year. Joe J and Northcutt are productive vets who wil see @80 targets each. SOLID!

17.06 Visanthe Shiancoe--TE28--MIN

19.06 David Martin--TE31--MIA

Ugly - but capable of giving me the occational TD and a few catches each week. Martin could sleep in the new Miami O, as he was their most consistant player in the dreaded 1-15 season.

13.06 Stephen Gostkowski--PK1--NE

18.11 Mike Nugent--PK26--NYJ

Solid. Nugent was a huge value at PK26 in the 18th (finished 17th the last 2 years).

12.11 Pittsburgh--DEF7

15.06 Arizona--DEF22

Blitzberg and blitzberg light!

Overall, it is hard for me to feel warm and fuzzy with the big ? at the QB position. Still if my core RBs and WRs produce as I think they will, I should be solid each week and tough to knock off. If I get 2007 production out of Warner I think I could challenge for the top spot. Can't wait for week 1!

No offense but this is probably one of my least favorite teams.

 

[zoltar16]

Okay, i guess it's time to break it down. I also want to thank Atomic Punk for taking care of my picks while i was away for the weekend.

QB's

5.12 Jay Cutler--QB12--DEN

4.05 Derek Anderson--QB7--CLE

15.12 Brady Quinn--QB33--CLE

Anderson is about to ink another deal with the Browns. He should have a good year, if he doesn't, then i have Quinn as the backup. Cutler has shown great improvements over the past two years. I feel that he's a solid pick. He also has some good receivers that are coming on strong. I just hope their buy weeks are off set.

RB's

1.12 Ryan Grant--RB10--GB

2.05 Willis McGahee--RB16--BAL

13.12 Chris Johnson--RB58--???

16.05 Derrick Ward--RB66--NYG

19.12 Rueben Droughns--RB74--NYG

Grant and McGahee should continue to put up good numbers. The only scary thing is i think Grant isn't a shoe in for the starting job in GB. We'll see what happens there. As for the rest, i'm not too confident with those picks, but the NYG due combined for 10 TD's last year and Johnson looked good while playing for East Carolina.

WR's

7.12 Reggie Williams--WR39--JAX

8.05 Patrick Crayton--WR42--DAL

9.12 Brandon Stokley--WR51--DEN

10.05 Roydell Williams--WR58--TEN

11.12 Malcolm Kelly--WR69--???

20.05 Mike Furrey--WR98--DET

As everyone knows, i didn't start picking WR's until round 7. No, i don't have a Moss or Owens, but i'm confident that out of my 6 pack, 3 will put up decent numbers each week.

TE's

3.12 Dallas Clark--TE5--IND

6.05 Heath Miller--TE9--PIT

Clark is a solid TE and has just been franchised by Indi. Roth likes to pitch it to Miller. 7 TD's last year and i feel there will be more this season.

K's

14.05 Rob Bironas--PK3--TEN

18.05 Laurence Tynes--PK22-- NYG

Kickers are kickers. Round 14 may have been a little early, but i'm still glad i have Bironas.

DEF's

12.05 Seattle--DEF3

17.12 Cincinnati--DEF28

Seattle's D should be solid again this year. Cinnci will be a good buy week fill in.

Feel free to rip me apart on my team. All comments are welcome.

I think you drafted a lot of valuable points that will end up riding the bench. I don't see the strategy of drafting back to back QBs early, and then taking a TE in the 3rd and the 6th. With all those points riding the bench, it's going to hurt when you really have only two RBs and one is on a bye week.Not my style, but good luck.

I agree with Pigskin's analysis. You probably would have been better served grabbing a WR over Heath in the 6th round. You could have had Hackett, VJax, Coles or even Branch at that spot. My guess is that all those WRs (if healthy) will out perform Heath over the season.

 

[ShadowPhunk]

Still, for talking about being a low-risk drafter, your team looks a lot more risky than mine. You're basically screwed if:- Harrison doesn't return immediately;- Chad Johnson holds out; and- Leinart regains the starting job over Warner.There's a realistic chance that any of these will occur. I'd bet that if just two of these three happen, you'll be gone before September is out.

Oh I'm not crazy about my team. (NONE TAKEN BRUTIS)You just can't start with Warner and TJax and come out feeling good no matter who I had at RB or WR.With that said, I don't see the same risk at WR that you do. I have a top WR on two top pass Os in Cincy and Indy. I see the CJ situation as media reaction to fustrating season ending comments. I also think Harrison - who has been a work ethic monster can and will be back. I also think I have plenty of guns to cover a little down time if I need them. I'm not relying on any WR3 and none of my players will be switching teams, so I don't need a FA situation to pan out. If there is one place I like my team - it is at WR.My team does have too many ????, even for February. What will Denver do with Henry and will he get to start? What does Alexander have left and does he start in Seattle? Does anyone give Chris Brown a shot? Can Tatum land a 3rd down, scat back role and get me some ppr?The success of the team depends on how the Warner issue shakes out IMO

 

[wraith5]

I don't know that I'm very good at analyzing my teams post-draft. Especially in the WSLs when I don't have my strategy laid out very well before hand - for the most part I react to the draft as it comes to me. But since this seems to be the vogue thing to do I'll give it a shot.

wraith5

3.15 Ben Rothelisberger--QB6--PIT

8.02 Matt "Matty" Leinert--QB23--ARZ

At the end of the third/start of the 4th you have a choice to make: QB5 (+/-) off the board, or QB15 when the train comes rolling back. Too much relying on the QB in these leagues to wait, IMO. I could have gone Ben or Derek here, and felt more secure with Ben. I do think ARI will put Matty in the drivers seat - the question will be whether he can keep it away from Warner. B

1.15 Marshawn Lynch--RB13--BUF

4.02 LenDale White--RB21--TEN

6.02 Thomas Jones--RB31--NYJ

16.02 Chris Henry--RB65--TEN

19.15 LaMont "Big Dummy" Jordan-- RB75--OAK/???

Solid if unspectacular RB corps, given that 3 of my first 6 picks were RB's. Henry gives me security around LenDale, so I should have at least two starting RB's all year (barring injury to Lynch). Jones should be the Jets starter, depending on how you mock the NFL draft, and if they can lay down some blocks for the guy he's got talent. Jordan is not far removed from being a first or second round pick - of course I said that about Ahman Green last year, too... B

2.02 Randy Moss--WR1--NEP

5.15 Javon Walker--WR29--DEN

9.15 Mark Clayton--WR53--BAL

10.02 Nate Burleson--WR56--SEA

14.02 Justin Gage--WR74--TEN

17.15 Marty Booker--WR86--???

20.02 Michael Clayton--WR96--TB

Where will Javon end up in 2008, and how will he hold up? That is the key question to my WRs. Clayton (Mark) and Gage have decent upside. Yes, Burleson has stone hands... but he was still effective from a FF perspective and I see potential upside in 2008 as well. Booker will contribute somewhere and Clayton (Michael)... well, in round #20 I can dream. B-

7.15 Tony Scheffler--TE12--DEN

11.15 Jeff King--TE22--CAR

I really like the value I got for both of these guys - I see them both out performing their draft position. A

15.15 Robbie Gould--PK10--CHI

18.02 Matt Bryant--PK20--TB

Another spot where I had to take a player in 15/16 or risk what would happen in the 30 picks before it came back to me. In hindsight, I could have waited to take B2B kickers in 17/18, but I'm OK with having Gould on my team B

12.02 Chicago Bears--DEF2

13.15 Tennessee--DEF16

See my comments regarding QB and Kicker above - sometimes you have to decide if you're going to be at the front of a run, or the back. In this draft, I pretty much always choose the front. Hester is the real prize for Chicago. If the actual DEF can improve over 2007 (how can they NOT?!?), they'll be fine. Also, if Albert is playing for TEN next year, at DEF16 I like that value. If not... well, I cheer for the Bears, anyway. B

FWIW.

I like your team. I think you grabbed value whenever you could. A lot of what happens for your future depends on your WR corp. Walker has to be healthy, and some of that depth needs to pan out.

[Pictus Cat]

Nugget

5.08 Matt Hasslebeck--QB10--SEA

8.09 Jamarcus Russell--QB24--OAK

20.09 Gus Ferotte--QB39--STL

I'm happy with my QB's. I think Alexander is done in Seattle, and I like the way the offense opened up late in the season. With the WR talent for the Hawks and possibly a rook RB, the burden will be placed , for better or worse, on Hasslebeck's arm. Jamarcus is going to be the starter this season, and he'll air it out. I'd hate to start him in a H2H format, but best ball he is the John Daley of the QB's. Gus is grasping at straws, but Bulger always seems to be aching.

1.08 Frank Gore--RB7--SF

6.09 Jerious Norwood--RB33--ATL

7.08 Chester Taylor--RB36--MIN

12.09 Michael Pittman--RB54--TB ?

I'm not thrilled with my RB's, but they are serviceable. Gore is in a non RBBC situation who can catch the ball out of the backfield. Not a top tier back, but solid 2 tier RB1. Norwood should get more carries as Dunn looks like he is finally washed up. I've been a huge Dunn fan, but the writing is on the wall. I don't see Atlanta spending a top 5 pick on a RB, so I think Norwood will see 50%+ of the carries. ADP is the man in MInnesota, but he'll be spelled by Taylor who was very effective last season. 5-10 pts a week is all I'm looking for here. Pittman seems to get points out of nowhere, hopefully he'll return to TB but he is still a great 3rd back. RB's are not a huge deal in this format, due to the early nature of the draft and 16 teams. We will all be thin and no one can pick up the waiver wire wonders like Grant or Graham.

2.09 TJ Houshmanzadeh--WR4--CIN

4.09 Calvin Johnson--WR20--DET

9.08 Donte Stallworth--WR48--NEP

10.09 David Patten--WR60--NOS

11.08 James Jones--WR66--GBP

17.08 Brad Smith--WR85--NYJ

19.08 Johnnie Lee Higgins--WR91--OAK

Once again, WR by committee. You can't have too many. Housh is a nice anchor for the group. Calvin should build on last years success and beat the injury bug, plus I'm a GT homer. Stallworth should be a highly sought after free agent not having to share with Moss and Welker any longer. Patten is a flyer, depending on if someone steps up in NO. Jones, Smith, Higgins are flyers who have potential to make impacts as #3 recievers on their team. If they can count 2x next season, they were worth it.

3.08 Tony Gonzalez--TE4--KCC

18.09 Fred Davis--TE30--???

Gonzalez is a stud TE. In this format, he finsihed only behind Witten last season. Fred Davis is a blue chip prospect coming from a pro style offense. I expcect him to contribute nicely 2nd half of the season.

14.09 Adam Vinateri--PK4--IND

16.09 Jason Hanson--PK14--DET

I hit the K's early as the sleepers I wanted would still be available late. Two dome Kickers, one on a potent offense and one on an offense that stalls in the redzone. Both will work.



13.08 New York Giants--DEF13

15.08 Kansas City--DEF23

I like both teams defensive line and pass rush ability going into 2008. Osi/Tuck and Allen/Hali should gets sacks and create pressure that leads to turnovers. Both outdoor defenses that could cause problems in the winter months.

Overall, this team is not glarmous. Very blue collar and fairly solid. I like my odds not to be last for at least 8 weeks, then I need a sleeper or two to hit to win it all.

Not much to add. Well balanced team without obvious bye issues. Fred Davis covering Gonz's bye week may be weakest week with KC DST out. My favorite picks where you got them were6.09 Jerious Norwood--RB33--ATL

7.08 Chester Taylor--RB36--MIN

12.09 Michael Pittman--RB54--TB ?

and you have two K & D, which should provide consistency. An early bye with only one at those positions in a survivor league isn't that big a deal, but we don't know when byes are, so I like that you have two.

[wraith5]

Thanx for the comments & compliments, gents.

I really enjoy drafting in these leagues a lot. The fact that I'm generally competitive is sometimes amazing to me given the level of football knowledge I am up against. I always end up learning a lot through the course of the draft and have a good time bantering with folks.

Good luck to all.

3.10 Carson Palmer--QB5--CIN

17.10 John Beck--QB34--MIA

19.10 Cleo Lemon--QB37--MIA

I like Palmer and the Bengles to rebound and compete in 2008, but after that your paper thin. As a SoFla native, I like Lemon over Beck - but Miami probably goes FA QB this off season.

1.10 Marion Barber--RB9--DAL

4.07 Earnest Graham--RB23--TB

6.07 Ammad Bradshaw--RB32--NYG

7.10 Cedric Benson--RB37--CHI

10.07 Steve Smith--WR59--NYG

11.10 Devin Hester--WR68--CHI

15.10 Robert Meachum--WR78--NO

LOVE your first two in Wayne and Chambers, but I think you should have pulled the trigger once more before round 9 to really land a consistant 3rd producer. The remaining 4 are all WR2/3 prospects. Would have likes to see another WR1 or solid WR2 in here.

8.07 Donald Lee--TE15--GB

20.07 Ben Utecht--TE33--IND

Lee in the 8th was great value and Utecht is a nice TD sleeper in the 20th. Nothing special, but EXCELLENT value where you grabbed both.

16.07 David Akers--PK12--PHI

18.07 Joe Nedney--PK25--SF

12.07 Minnesota--DEF4

14.07 Washington--DEF18

Overall a competitive squad, but there are some weak points at the RB2 and WR3 slots IMO. Nice job!

You dont think I'll be able to find a decent #2 rb each week out of Graham, Bradshaw, benson? seriously? I dont see Caddy as a factor next year at all and graham has proven to me anyway that he can handle the starting job. Benson against bad teams didnt do too bad but struggled against good teams. Bradshaw I like because even with jacobs healthy he should still get a decent amount of carries. RB is the least of my worries.WR #3 is more of a concern. Im hoping Meachum is healthy, that should help with brees throwing and Colston getting the coverage. Either way Im hoping steve smith and Rice could get me those points. Compared to most teams I think im in very good shape in the RB and WR area.

Seriously - I not so sure you can. Graham is the best option as he was productive in 2007, but he has returning competition for his job and for touches. Gruden is a RBBC guy who uses his whole squad when they are healthy - so this adds to the risk. Bradshaw will be a backup to Jacobs. Benson and Wolfe may both get bumped to the bench for a FA aqusition or rookie draft pick. I'd say that if Graham doesn't pan out - you'll be very light at RB2.

Doesnt sound like the Bears to kick Benson to the curb after 1 year as the starter. Both Benson and Wolfe cost the bears a 1st and 3rd round pick. I think they atleast get one more year before pulling the plug. I agree that Bradshaw gets way too much love on this site and I dont think for a minute that he will be the starter over a healthy Jacobs but I think he has earned 8-10 carries a game. If Jacobs ever misses time due to an injury I think Bradshaw will get the majority of those carries. As far as Graham he didnt share many carries last year. Im not sure how you think caddy fits into the picture but Im betting he is a non factor.

Derrick Ward?

Benson and Wolf will be doing the same thing this year. Hopefully behind a better line because that was the problem.

Domination

1.05 Tom Brady--QB1--NE

15.05 Matt Ryan--QB32--???

20.12 Chad Pennington--QB41--NYJ(?)

While I do not think that Brady will have another year like this past, I do think that I will get solid and consistant production out of him. I missed the run on #2 QBs, so hoping one of the other 2 will be able to fill in. Grade-B (possible A if backup come to be)

I can't see taking Brady that high if you don't think he will repeat or improve. I can't see taking him above 13ish if I thought he would. Like the Pennington value. Ryan's a flyer.

4.12 Jonathan Stewart--RB25--???

6.12 Duece McAllister--RB34--NO

10.12 Felix Jones--RB47--???

12.12 Ray Rice--RB55--???

16.12 Jamaal Charles--RB68--???

I expect most will not like my RBs, but that is ok with me. I look at most of the successful teams and they have not had great RB corps. A quick explanation would be that I thought the potential of the solid class of rookie RBs was higher than taking the safer approach with going with backup vets. I expect Duece & Stewart to give me #2 RB numbers, and hopefully one of the others will land in a good spot to give me some production. Either way it has been proven that you can get by with poor RB production. Grade- C (Lots of potential for improvement)

5 Hail Marys?

2.12 Steve Smith--WR7--CAR

3.05 Anquan Boldin--WR13--ARZ

5.05 Dwayne Bowe--WR26--KCC

7.05 Bernard Berrian--WR35--CHI

11.05 Drew Bennett--WR64--STL

19.05 Brandon Jones--WR90--TEN

I think that this is definitely the strength of my team. I would put my top 4 up against anyone else in the league, and believe that they will give me good production every week and negate the weekness at RB. Grade- A

Each have some relatively significant issues except Boldin. 7 is typical, but you're trying to compensate at QB & RB.

8.12 Alge Crumpler--TE16--ATL

9.05 LJ Smith--TE18--PHI

I loved this combo, especially this late. Smith has been a Top 10 TE before the injuries last year, and I believe will return to form with the Eagles this year. Crumpler is a solid TE and I expect good production from him no matter where he goes. Grade- B

I think Alge was still and Atlantian when you picked. Could still work though.

14.12 Nate Kaeding--PK6--SD

18.12 John Kasay--PK28--CAR

13.05 Philadelphia--DEF11

17.05 New York Jets--DEF27

2 kickers and defenses should give me consistant production. Grade- B

Slightly above average. (Of course, for those without two starters at each...much better.)

Overall- I decided early in the draft that this was the stradegy I was going with, and pretty much stuck to it. I am happy with this team and think that they will be able to hang around for a while, but I understand that there are alot of ???. I expect after the draft and as the year goes along, my team will be viewed as one of the strongest. Grade- B

Not my favorite team of yours, but I understand you're expecting the RB & QB to look better after the draft. We'll see...

 

[Pictus Cat]

6.14 Vince Young--QB19--TEN

7.03 Jon Kitna--QB21--DET

Probably the weakness of my team. I think I will be ok. Each was undervalued where I took them. This grades to probably a B- or a C.

B+

1.03 Steven Jackson--RB3--STL

9.03 Selvin Young--RB41--DEN

10.14 DeShaun Foster--RB48--CAR

11.03 Leon Washington--RB51--NYJ

12.14 Lorenzo Booker--RB56--MIA

20.14 Correll Buckhalter --RB --PHI

I love SJax this year and I think I will be good at RB2. I took a bunch of PPR RBs. Grade B or B+.

6 RBs is 1 or 2 too many, I think.

2.14 Torry Holt--WR9--STL

3.03 Plaxico Burress--WR12--NYG

4.14 Roddy White--WR24--ATL

8.14 Ronald Curry--WR45--OAK

18.14 Demetrius Williams--WR87--Bal

19.03 Jabar Gaffney--WR89--NE

I love this group. I know not everyone likes Holt and Plax, but I like the consistent veterans. Grade is an A.

One more needed for that A, but I do like all of them.

5.03 Todd Heap--TE7--BAL

13.03 Bo Scaife--TE26--TEN

Two good TEs, just need Heap to stay healthy, for a change. Grade B+.

I would have avoid Heap until he was an absolute value. Scaife was a good pick. B -

16.14 Kris Brown--PK15--HOU

17.03 Jason Elam--PK16--DEN

14.14 Buffalo--DEF19

15.03 Oakland--DEF20

Two decent kickers and defenses.

I like this team. I think it has a legit chance to go fairly far, but it is tough to tell now before free agency. Good luck to everyone.

Fairly balanced, should be in the second half. We'll see how the byes cripple a few teams. STL TEN having the same by would...

 

[Pictus Cat]

jmills3.02 Drew Brees--QB4--NOS

9.02 Trent Edwards--QB27--BUF

19.02 JP Losman--QB35--BUF

Brees was outstanding in some games last season, not very good in a lot of the others. Having a healthy Reggie and Deuce should help open up the offense. The Edwards/Losman pair should be fine as a backup QB.

Two.

1.02 Adrian Peterson--RB2--MIN

5.02 DeAngelo Williams--RB26--CAR

8.15 Julius Jones--RB43--DAL

11.02 Kevin Faulk--RB50--NEP

16.15 TJ Duckett--RB69--DET

This is probably the most I've ever waited to get my 2nd RB, I usually have 2 in the first 3 rounds at least. The news of Carolina shopping Foster should be good for me. If Julius stays in Dallas I think he will continue to get a lot of carries while sharing the ball with Barber, if Julius leaves I think he's shown enough and is young enough to end up in a good position with another team. Faulk and Duckett are mostly role players but are capable of producing a good game every now and then.

I like all these RBs and where you got them except Jones. He seems like a flyer to me and the other four should have been enough.

2.15 Braylon Edwards--WR10--CLE

4.15 Donald Driver--WR25--GBP

7.02 Kevin Curtis--WR33--PHI

10.15 Shaun McDonald--WR62--DET

14.15 Jacoby Jones--WR76--HOU

18.15 Jason Hill--WR88--SF

I think my starting 3 are pretty good, especially if Driver can get into the end zone a little more often next year. I'm not crazy about my McDonald pick, I think I must have been in a hurry making that pick or something. I think Jones and Hill both have chances to become bigger parts of their respective offenses and I think they both make good sleeper picks. It would have been nice to have a little more depth but I can live with only having 6.

Curtis McDonald not so high on. Really like the others and the value.

6.15 Owen Daniels--TE11--HOU

13.02 Mercedes Lewis--TE25--JAX

Solid, if not necessarily exciting TE combo. Daniels seemed to have a good rapport with Schaub. I still believe Lewis has talent and hopefully with the WR mess in Jacksonville Garrard will find him as a reliable target.

Owens seems about at value and ML is a nice flyer. Sufficient.

15.02 Josh Brown--PK8--SEA

20.15 Olindo Mare--PK32--NO

I got one good kicker at least. The kicker run went a lot deeper than I thought it would, I thought there would be 1 or 2 reliable kickers left for me at my 18th pick. Mare says he'll be back for training camp so I guess its worth it to me to gamble my 20th pick on him.

When you miss the boat, you miss it. Mare was taken at the right time and place. Hopefully you get lucky an get something from him for some consistency at PK.

12.15 Baltimore--DEF9

17.02 Carolina--DEF26

Both have been great defenses in the past but are starting to show some of their age. Hopefully some of their recent problems can be addressed in the draft or free agency.

Baltimore is being undervalued in the WSL IMHO.[/quote]

Could hit some bumps but would put this team at the halfway mark.
