[Jgtdragon]

I can't take anything for granted this year.
I lost last year with Edge, LT, and Holt on my team.

 

[fLum0x]

QB: matt hasselback
WR: tory holt
WR: plaxico burress
WR: t. houshmandzadeh
RB: L. tomlinson

why are you guys picking up rhodes? i think addai will take over most of the carries soon enough. they will split balls more than likely, which is bad. Trust me, i live in indy and hear it every day

Rhodes was my Mr. Irrelevant in the 15th round of a 12-team draft. My starters are Rudi Johnson and Brian Westbrook, with Ahman Green as my true backup and Kevan Barlow in case sh!t gets really hairy with injuries (though I'd sooner play a single RB / 4 wideout set using our flex position before getting that far in the depth charts--something like Hines Ward, Javon Walker, Keyshawn Johnson, Tony Gonzalez).

Trust me, Rhodes is just trade bait as soon as he posts a solid week or Addai goes down. I could parlay him with Philip Rivers for a decent backup QB to Eli Manning and be all set.

P.S. If you think that's bad, one team in my league has 3 RBs: Tatum Bell (2nd string, drafted 3rd round!), Chris Perry (2nd string and ironically my would-be Rudi handcuff), and Stephen Davis (still a free agent). Yowza.

pretty good draft for me I think... i was 6th out of 10 teams... not only that, but only 3 of us were actually online for it, everyone else autopicked.

Manning is about the only QB worth a 1st round pick.

Depends on your scoring system.

In our league I woulda taken manning above Alexander and LJ

I am completely biased, but I think Dallas is the sleeper defense this year. My team is all cowboys except for the kicker (some whore stole Vanderjact so I have Kasay).

Same thing happened to me, except I didn't forget the draft, I just couldn't be at it. Ended up with Manning, Fitzgerald, Ward, Jackson, Tatum Bell, Addai, Cooley, Evans. There is a flex spot for WR/RB and I don't even have a third RB for the spot

Unfortunately, looks like it is a championship team in a league full of retards, so where is the sense of accomplishment?

Cadillac dropped to 51st pick? Jackson at 14th? Kevin Jones at 94? Jeez

Agreed. Jackson at 14 and Cadillac at 51 just made me laugh.

Had a weird draft this morning:

Dunn, Warrick RB ATL
McGahee, Willis RB BUF
Boldin, Anquan WR ARI
Burress, Plaxico WR NYG
McMichael, Randy TE MIA
Brown, Josh K SEA
Seahawks, DST DST SEA

Reserves:
Rivers, Philip QB SD
Taylor, Fred RB JAC
Curtis, Kevin WR STL
Lloyd, Brandon WR WAS
White, Roddy WR ATL

Not my usual cast of characters, but I am usually pretty good at trades and waiver wire work.

Draft #2:

Starters:
QB D. Culpepper
WR C. Johnson
WR H. Ward
WR L. Coles
RB S. Jackson
RB W. Dunn
TE R. McMichael
K J. Kasay
DEF Carolina

Reserves:
QB D. Brees
RB F. Taylor
RB L. White
WR B. Lloyd
WR R. White
TE K. Winslow

Solid, but not spectacular. I was happy to get Chad Johnson, though.

[49erinnc]

I felt better on draft day about my team than I do now but I'm still in good shape if my teams stays/gets healthy. My WR's concern me the most. There is potential for some really good production but there are also concerns since none are top-tier guys. Branch could pay off for me later in the year which is why I drafted him in the 11th round. I couldn't pass on him at that point. I just desperately need solid years from Westbrook and C. Taylor. Picked up Greg Jones late just in case Fred Taylor went down but now he's out for the year so I have to replace him. Hoping to snag Lundi or Norwood as insurance. Can't wait for the season to start!

QB: Hasselbeck
QB: Roethlisberger
RB: Larry Johnson
RB: Westbrook
RB: C. Taylor
RB: C. Benson
RB: Greg Jones
WR: Houshmandzadeh
WR: Roy Williams
WR: Deion Branch
WR: L. Coles
WR: Reggie Brown (was a good late pick until they aquired Stallworth...errrrr)
TE: A. Gates
TE: Alex Smith
K: Jay Feely
K: L. Tynes
D: Giants
D: Falcons

 

[Feldenak]

Mine's looking decent, just have to find a replacement for Branch since it's looking like he won't play this year.

(10 team league w/ QB, 2xWR, 2xRB, TE, K, DE)

Current starting lineup
QB: Carson Palmer
WR: Reggie Wayne
WR: Deion Branch
RB: LaDainian Tomlinson
RB: Willis McGahee
TE: Jason Whitten
K: David Akers
DE: Baltimore

Bench:
QB: Ben Roethlisberger
RB: DeShaun Foster
TE: Heath Miller
WR: Eddie Kinneson (not sure if that's who I want to replace Branch or not)

 

[DukeFan21]

QB C. Palmer
WR T. Owens
WR D. Jackson
WR T. Houshmandzadeh
RB S. Alexander
RB R. Droughns
TE V. Davis
K N. Rackers

Bench:

It was weird. We are in a league of 8 and only like 3 people went to the draft the rest were yahoo auto-selection. S. Jackson was rated higher on yahoo over Williams. I was surprised Cadillac was around in the 7th round. Who is better S. Jackson or Cadilliac?

I'd say Jackson will get you more points this season, but Cadillac could be very good.

 

[KeithTalent]

I'm ok with how mine turned out, we had a low turn out as well.

The damn Sports Guy got to me and I picked Maroney, though pretty late in the draft.

Starters:

Brees, Drew QB NO
Barber, Tiki RB NYG
Jackson, Steven RB STL
Holt, Torry WR STL
Johnson, Andre WR HOU
Shockey, Jeremy TE NYG
Kasay, John K CAR
Seahawks, DST

Reserves:
Green, Trent QB KC
Bell, Mike RB DEN
Maroney, Laurence RB NE
Jones, Matt WR JAC
Hilton, Zach TE NYJ
Chargers, DST

I always feel better after I get a couple of weeks under my belt, until then who the heck knows what will happen.

 

[MotionMan]

Are you guys drafting against 1st graders? These must be public leagues. I only play in private leagues where almost everyone shows up for the draft (all but one manager in each league this year) and everybody knows their stuff (both my leagues were started from football fan e-mailing lists I am a member of).

Do you get any satisfaction beating strangers of unknown intelligence and football knowledge?
