I can agree with some...but Ray Lewis? Come on man, this isn't 2002. And Javon? If you want a guy who is constantly hurt then you made a good choice ;) But you can't tell me you'd rather have Javon over Peppers, or Ray over Merriman.

Are we talking about building for the future or just for a season? If it's just this season, I'd go with:

QB: Brady
RB: Tomlinson
WR: S. Smith
TE: Gates
D-Line: Seymore
LB: Urlacher
CB: Bailey
S: Reed
K: Viniteri

QB - Mcnabb
Best overall qb. Dosent get taken down under pressure, can throw and has the smarts to run an offense and call the plays jsut as well as manning.

RB - Tomlinson
Best RB in the leauge right now. LJ is still unproven and Alexander is falling down to the madden curse.

WR - Steve Smith or Terrell Owens
Steve Smith: excellent slot/possession reciever, attitude isnt good but its not bad either
If I dont have to deal with a palyers attitude, I'd take owens. No one stronger or more athletic in generel than Owens.

TE - Tony Gonzalez
Hands and speed. A tight end isnt worth S*** if he cant run block and pass protect too. Run blocking is arguably morei mportant than pass catching for tight ends and Tony has the raw strength and size for it. Excellent catching abilities is a bonus.

LB - Brian Urlacher
Merriman is too young. He may be more athletic than urlacher but hes not nearly smart enough to coordinate the defense and call audibles like Urlacher.

D-line - Julius Peppers
Hes good at what he does

O-line - No idea

Secondary: Brian Dawkins
Again not the best physically but smartest, and has incredible leadership potential to keep those pacmans and owens in line.

Um....OK Eagles fan, maybe you've been watching a different McNabb these past couple weeks. His bye couldn't come at a better time.

I'm sure its safe to assume he'll get it. There really hasn't been anyone close to his level of play at any position.

Agreed, every week I feel a little guilty in my fantasy league....it's like I have 4 wide outs on my roster. Stupid Yahoo.
